"I'm very proud of my gold pocket watch. My grandfather, on his deathbed,
sold me this watch." - Woody Allen.
"I don’t wear a [Cartier] Tank watch to tell the time. In fact, I never wind it. I wear a Tank because it’s the watch to wear." - Andy Warhol.
"Like a genial hotelier, Rolex has introduced me to some of the nicest people.
I ask about their Rolex and they ask about mine. It's as marvelous a conversation

A CLOCK is an instrument used to indicate, keep, and co-ordinate time. A silent instrument missing such a mechanism has traditionally been known as a TIMEPIECE. In general usage today a "clock" refers to any device for measuring and displaying the time. Watches and other timepieces that can be carried on one's person are often distinguished from clocks. The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to consistently measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units: the day; the lunar month; and the year. Devices operating on several different physical processes have been used over the millennia, culminating in the clocks of today.
A WATCH is a timepiece that is made to be worn on a person. It is usually a wristwatch,
worn on the wrist with a strap or bracelet. In addition to the time, modern watches
often display the day, date, month and year, and electronic watches may have many
other functions.
Most inexpensive and medium-priced watches used mainly for timekeeping are electronic
watches with quartz movements. Expensive, collectible watches valued more for their
workmanship and aesthetic appeal than for simple timekeeping, often have purely mechanical
movements and are powered by springs, even though mechanical movements are less accurate
than more affordable quartz movements.
Before the inexpensive miniaturization that became possible in the 20th century, most
watches were pocket watches, which often had covers and were carried in a pocket and
attached to a watch chain or watch fob. Watches evolved in the 1600s from spring powered
clocks, which appeared in the 1400s.
A CHRONOGRAPH is a specific type of watch that is used as a stopwatch combined with a display watch. A basic chronograph has an independent sweep second hand; it can be started, stopped, and returned to zero by successive pressure on the stem.
The modern day chronograph works by pushing a start button, normally located at the two o clock position, to begin recording time, and by pushing the same button to stop the recording. When the button is pushed to start the recording, a series of three (in more complicated and more precise chronographs there are more wheels) train wheels start turning. The smallest has a revolution time of one second, the next sixty seconds, and the final one has a revolution time of sixty minutes. The three train wheels interact with one another and record how long it has been since the start button has been activated.
In horology (study of clocks), COMPLICATION refers to any feature in a timepiece beyond the simple display of hours, minutes, and seconds. A timepiece indicating only hours, minutes, and seconds is otherwise known as a simple movement. Common additions such as day/date displays, chronographs, and automatic winding mechanisms are usually not sufficient to permit a movement to be called complicated. The more complications in a watch, the more difficult it is to design, create, assemble, and repair. A typical date-display chronograph may have up to 250 parts, while a particularly complex watch may have a thousand or more parts. Watches with several complications are referred to as grandes complications.

- Hublot Leads The 2022 Charge To Yellow Gold Watches - "Back in the 1970’s and 1980’s, watches were predominantly made from noble metals and in the realm of gold that meant yellow was king. Sure, there were a host of watches that came out in two-tone and even three-color gold, but predominantly yellow gold reigned supreme. Then, in the late 1990’s rose gold came on strong and by the turn of the new millennium, pink and rose gold were giving way to even darker hues of 5N rose gold - a trend that would last decades.

Sometimes, however, it's less clear why certain specifications are included. Jewel count, for instance. Many watch enthusiasts probably have some idea why watch movements have jewels in them, but some don't. And yet the jewel count is not only a feature of spec sheets in watch articles, it's also often specified by the manufacturer on the movement itself. Frequency is another one - most modern movements made in any quantity run at 28,800 vph, so why bring it up in the specs if that particular frequency is more or less ubiquitous?"

In fact, Rieussec invented what is referred to as the 'time writer' - an inking chronograph. Essentially, two dial disks were put in place in a box and were connected with a small ink pen of sorts that would mark the start of an event on one disk and the finish time of the event on second small disk. The ink writer was the inspiration behind Montblanc’s Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph collection. Now, in honor of the 200th anniversary of that inking chronograph, the brand releases the new Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph Limited Edition 200 watch."

It is cased in an oxygen-free vacuum compartment by Montblanc’s watchmakers to ensure no oxygen gets inside the case, which can affect the movement."

- Patek Philippe Pumps Up The Volume On Its Minute Repeaters With New High-Tech Amplification System - "As if to remind us there is more to this elite brand than pretty dials on iconic steel watches, Patek Philippe is launching a revolutionary new sound amplification and diffusion system for its chiming watches. In layman’s terms: It’s like putting the minute repeater on stereo. In fact, the system was inspired by the way an old-fashioned phonograph works. The key component is a small, suspended wafer made of sapphire crystal poised on the end of a tuning fork-like suspension. The crystal disk vibrates and sends the sound back down the fork and along a titanium ring that carries the sound outside the case. The result? It powers up the volume of a minute repeater by six times its usual rate. A chiming watch using the new system sounds the same at 60 meters as a classic minute repeater does from 10 meters says Patek Philippe. It is launching today in a 15-piece limited edition as Ref. 5750P. Price upon request."

Patek Philippe holds no less than 31 patents on the movement, seven of which are applied specifically to this reference. Essentially, its technical feat is the display of 1/10th of a second on the central dial simultaneously with the central chronograph seconds hand."

- Rolex is a mere pretender to the Patek Philippe crown at watch auctions - "Rolex made such a splash in 2017 when a Paul Newman-owned Daytona sold for $17.5 million that the casual observer might think it has dominated the auction world’s top ranked sales ever since. Not so, observes Simon De Burton, who sees Patek Philippe firmly maintaining its reputation as the king of auction brands and a number of rising stars like Cartier, F. P. Journe and Philippe Dufour regularly grabbing the attention of expert collectors."
- Rolex is making plenty of watches, but good luck getting your hands on one - "Rolex makes some of the world's most popular watches, like the Daytona, Submariner, and classic Oyster.

The big three brands still command a premium on the pre-owned market over retail, per a new report from Morgan Stanley using WatchCharts data. Eighty-nine of Rolex's 123 current models included in the analysis are worth more used than new. The report considers each unique variant (steel, gold, etc.) within the various collections (i.e., Datejust, Yacht Master, etc.) presently being made and sold via authorized dealers. The popular Daytona and SkyDweller collections were excluded for Rolex, since they were overhauled earlier this year, and data is still coming in. Surprisingly, the model with the biggest relative increase in value is the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 with a turquoise dial that sells new for $6,100 but trades for more than twice that secondhand."

- Rolex Watches Were One of the Highest Appreciating Assets in the Last Decade - "Beating out gold, real estate, and stocks on average." Luxury watches have been the 'it' alternative investment these past couple of years, with names like Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe and F.P.Journe making headlines for their insane surge in price. One Swiss manufacturer, however, has always been the king in terms of consistent appreciation - and it’s none other than Rolex.
- Rolex’s upcoming billion-dollar factory - "Rolex roughly produced around 1.24 million watches last year, earning the iconic watchmaker a revenue of $11.5 billion. Around ten times as many watches as Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet combined. Yet, there are long waiting lists for many of the popular Rolex models, with some exceeding two years. Set to open in 2029, the new manufacturing facility is located in Bulle, a small municipality in the district of Gruyère, Switzerland."
- Russian officials seize Swiss watches apparently worth millions - "According to Switzerland's NZZ am Sontag newspaper, the watches were seized by agents working for Russia's FSB security service from a Moscow subsidiary of Audemars Piguet.

- Russian watchmaker upends race to design world’s thinnest wristwatch - "Luxury brands Bulgari, Piaget and Richard Mille have all, since 2018, held the coveted record, which was most recently broken by Bulgari’s sleek 1.7-millimeter-thick Octo Finissimo Ultra Mark II, in April. But now, an independent Russian watchmaker and inventor may have trumped them all. Moscow-based Konstantin Chaykin says his new ThinKing prototype, which he debuted at the Geneva Watch Days fair in Switzerland last week, is just 1.65 millimeters (less than one-fifteenth of an inch) thick. He also believes it to be among the world’s lightest watches, weighing just 13.3 grams (less than 0.47 ounces), without its strap."

- Soda watches | Pepsi Bezel Watches - "As you may have guessed, Pepsi bezel watches don’t actually have anything to do with cola - that’s just an affectionate nickname given to the color scheme since it happens to mimic the look of one of the world’s most famous brands. The true reason for the red and blue bezel is actually more practical (and cooler). As the Jet Age took off, so to speak, in the early 1950s, long-haul international flights were becoming more commonplace. So Pan Am approached Rolex about creating a watch for their pilots that could display two different timezones simultaneously during such flights. Rolex responded with the original GMT Master in 1955."

- Why We Spend More For Luxury Watch Brands - "When consumers spend money on most luxury goods, they are, in fact, purchasing two things at once.

But that alone doesn’t make anything a luxury good. The second thing consumers are purchasing when getting a luxury good is the brand name on the good. This is a more amorphous area of value but a real one nonetheless. When you buy a brand you are in fact purchasing an association with a concept, feeling, image, or status."

- A. LANGE & SÖHNE - founded in 1845. "Our timepieces are the embodiment of everything that A. Lange & Söhne stands for. We feel a deep sense of pride when we hold them in our hands. And yet it is not only the results of our work that make us who we are."
- A. LANGE & SÖHNE - Wikipedia.
- A. Lange & SÖhne 1815 Rattrapante, Now In Platinum - "A king among complications meets the ice queen of metals." Limited edition of 200 pieces.
- A. Lange & SÖhne Unveils Next-Generation Zeitwerk - "As many new-generation watchmakers are entering the watch world, we are witnessing some strong evolutions of modern-day iconic watches. Such is the case with the much-coveted A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk. First unveiled to the world 13 years ago in 2009, the German-made luxury timepiece was the brand’s first to boast a mechanical jumping digital display of the hours and the minutes in a strikingly harmonious dial. Thanks to its specially created constant force escapement, the watch was also incredibly precise. All of the features together propelled the Zeitwerk to the forefront of collectors’ minds. Today, A. Lange & Söhne unveils the newest generation of award-winning Zeitwerk watches. Two new versions, in platinum or in 18-karat pink gold, are powered by a next-generation, or evolved, mechanical movement: caliber L043.6, which holds seven patents. It also offers 72 hours of power reserve - double the amount of time from previous versions."
- A. Lange & SÖhne Works Magic In German Watchmaking With Minute Repeater, Titanium Odysseus & More - "German watch brand A. Lange & Söhne is one of the most sought-after brands by serious watch collectors today. Not only are its timepieces exclusive and created in limited numbers, but also, they offer some of the most subtle German-influenced clean designs on the market. This year, when everyone was wondering if there was anything else this brand could introduce to surprise and delight watch lovers, the brand worked magic with several new timepieces."
- 1815 FAMILY - "The name of the 1815 watch family is a reference to the year in which Ferdinand Adolph Lange was born. With its artisanal perfection and many elements that can be traced back to him, it is a fitting tribute to the man who established precision watchmaking in Germany. Its outstanding legibility and individual, high-contrast design render it a contemporary watch."
- DEBUTS 2013 FAMILY
- DOUBLE SPLIT - "In a race against time." The DOUBLE SPLIT is the world?s first mechanical chronograph with a double-rattrapante function. It features two chronograph hands and two rattrapante hands. Both pairs of hands can be stopped separately. Additionally, the stopped rattrapante hands can rejoin the still running chronograph hands. This allows purely mechanical comparative and intermediate time measurements of events lasting up to 30 minutes.
- GRAND COMPLICATION - "The most complicated A. Lange & Söhne wristwatch." Inspired by the Grande Complication No. 42500, a pocket watch that dates back to 1902, A. Lange & Söhne presented its most complicated wristwatch in 2013: the GRAND COMPLICATION. This outstanding timepiece features a grand and small strike, a minute repeater, a perpetual calendar and a rattrapante-chronograph function with flying seconds. The assembly and the adjustment of the mechanisms are so intricate that only one watch can be crafted per year and only 6 of these masterpieces will be built altogether.
- Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase 'Lumen' - "A marvel of physics." Electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths between 100 and 380 nanometres is commonly referred to as ultraviolet light. It is not visible as such to the human eye. It penetrates the semi-transparent dial of the GRAND LANGE 1 MOON PHASE “Lumen” and charges the luminous elements, even those that are not yet exposed. The result: the first Lange watch featuring a luminous moon-phase display and a luminous outsize date.
- LANGE 1 FAMILY - "The LANGE 1 was one of the first watches made following the re-establishment of our manufactory. Its extraordinary combination of tradition and innovation makes it a prime example of Lange watchmaking artistry. With pioneering features such as the off-centre dial layout and outsize date, this watch family is writing history."
- LANGE ZEITWERK FAMILY - "The ZEITWERK features a digital display and is one of the most advanced watches of the contemporary era. It is the first mechanical wristwatch with a jumping numerals mechanism consisting of three discs. This groundbreaking concept has received multiple awards."
- ODYSSEUS Family - "A class of its own." The ODYSSEUS was designed for active people. Thanks to its robust construction and water-resistant case it can even be worn in situations when a precision mechanical model would ordinarily be set aside. In the elegant sports watch category, the totally new self-winding movement with a large-format date and day-of-week display is without peer. Apart from the steel-cased version, the ODYSSEUS is also available in white gold with a grey dial and an integrated leather or rubber strap.
- RICHARD LANGE FAMILY - "With RICHARD LANGE, we are reviving a category of timepieces steeped in history: the observation watches. Thanks to their high degree of rate accuracy, good legibility and ruggedness, they acted as indispensable precision instruments for many highly regarded academics, researchers and explorers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Now the RICHARD LANGE watch family is also paying tribute to a pioneer of timekeeping."
- SAXONIA FAMILY - "The mechanics take pride of place in the SAXONIA watch family. We are always looking for new design challenges so that we can continue improving these pieces. In doing this, we perfect these relatively simple watches with the same consistency as with more intricate models. Completely new mechanisms are frequently produced as a result."
- Unforgettable masterpieces - "A hand-picked selection." In all eras and in every discipline, mankind can take credit for extraordinary accomplishments. This holds true for the fine arts, for music and for watchmaking as well. Among them are works of horological art that have survived their epoch and are displayed today in significant public and private collections. Quite a few of them bear the "A. Lange & Söhne" signature. Because only very few of these timepieces were made, sometimes only one, they are indeed priceless collectors’ items of everlasting value. Since the presentation of the first new-era collection in 1994, A. Lange & Söhne has again crafted works of horological art in strictly limited editions.

- An Exclusive Look at the OAK Collection, One of the World’s Finest Assortments of Watches - "Several hundred watches, collected over 35-plus years, at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, curated down to 160. . .The numbers alone are enough to make The OAK Collection - which is about to open at The Design Museum in London ahead of its bow in New York this Fall - a must-visit for any horolophile, anywhere."
- Audemars Piguet Flexes Bigly With Five New Complications, Including Four Tourbillons - "Audemars Piguet just introduced five complicated watches in its Royal Oak, Royal Oak Concept and Code 11.59 collections, and while they contain watchmaking’s most traditional high complications - tourbillon, chronograph and perpetual calendar - they balance that with some modern, avant-garde design elements. The three Code 11.59 models are cased in high-tech ceramic combined with 18k gold, in a very modern expression of haute watchmaking, and all are tourbillons."
- Celebrating 50 Years Of Audemars Piguet's The Royal Oak - The “Jumbo” Journey - "The story of the Royal Oak didn’t start in 1972. Rather, it began two years before, right before the Basel watch exhibition of 1970. At the time Audemars Piguet produced about 6,000 watches per year. They were mainly small dress watches, some jewelry pieces, some extraordinary watches with complications, and of course, a lot of extra-thin watches. At the time, Audemars Piguet had around 70 employees."

- Hands-On With GÉrald Genta's Personal Royal Oak - "Typically, a two-tone Royal Oak will also contain central bracelet links made of gold, but here only the bezel is crafted from the precious metal. According to Evelyne Genta, Gérald's longtime partner and widow, it was fitted to the watch by the man himself after acquiring the Royal Oak directly from Audemars Piguet. 'Gérald didn't own a Royal Oak until May 15, 1978, though he was obviously the Royal daddy,' she says. 'He bought that watch and told me he wanted to make it special, he wanted something more. In those days he already had his own workshop so he made that yellow gold bezel; it's not an original bezel. It's the ultimate combination of Audemars Piguet and Gérald Genta. He wore it quite often and it's unique. There's nothing more I can say other than it's unique.'"

- Sotheby’s Sells Gerald Genta’s Royal Oak For $2.1-million; Double-Signed Patek/Tiffany Pieces Up Next - "Gerald Genta, known as the Picasso of watches, famously designed the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. His personal Royal Oak, a customized version of the model, made in 1978, is the only known steel ref. 5402 with a gold bezel, sold at a Sotheby’s watch auction in Geneva on May 8 for CHF 2,170,000 (about $122,676)."

- BOVET 1822 & Rolls-Royce - "A True Collaboration." Since the beginning of motorized vehicles, time and the automobile have been inextricably linked. Timepieces have always had a place in the world of the automobile, either to measure speed over distance or to ensure that the owner always had the correct time. But watches and cars have never been as linked as they are now. Today, for the first time ever, two tourbillon timepieces from BOVET 1822 have been engineered, designed, and developed in parallel with the production of a coachbuilt Rolls-Royce. Using the revolutionary and patented Amadeo system, these timepieces can transform from a wristwatch to a pocket/pendant watch to a desk clock and… that’s right, a dashboard clock.

Think about the perpetual calendar, the anti-shock device or the gongs of a chiming watch. And of course, there’s his masterpiece, the tourbillon, which celebrates its 220 anniversary this year. And to pay tribute to its founder and to his invention, Breguet is releasing an exclusive watch, the new Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Anniversaire 5365. Made in a limited run of 35 pieces, the same number of tourbillon watches made during Abraham-Louis Breguet’s lifetime."

Defined as an orbital tourbillon, the rotating dial is like a tiny slow-moving carousel ride for watch lovers."

- Cartier Collection: Complications - "Movements with complications that offer additional information, apart from the time, are considered the peak of the watchmaker's art.

- Cartier Collection: Jewellery watches - "Whatever the watch, appearance takes precedence. Cartier firmly remains a jeweller, and almost every watch it invents includes a highly precious jewellery version.

- CARTIER Collection: Santos - "In 1904, the Brazilian pilot Alberto Santos-Dumont complained to his friend Louis Cartier that while he was flying with both hands on the controls, it was impossible to read the time on his pocket watch. Soon afterwards, Cartier sent him a prototype of a wristwatch. It was sold from 1911 as the Santos. It was the first watch with bracelet attachment lugs integrated into the case. These integrated lugs made it the first modern wristwatch for men.
- CARTIER Collection: Shaped Watches - "Louis Cartier was the first to set the design codes of modern watchmaking from the perspective of a jeweller. A pioneer of his time, he believed the beauty of a watch was not just a matter of its decoration. The size, shape and proportions, the look of the metal, and the harmony between bracelet and case were just as important. He soon became interested in "Special-Shaped watches" – those with a case that broke away from the traditional round design. "Tonneau" (barrel) shaped watches in 1906, square cases from 1908, and "tortue" (turtle) shapes in 1912 were the first examples of very beautiful watchmaking created by an innovative jeweller."
- CARTIER Collection: Tank - designed by Louis Cartier in 1917. "He had seen press pictures of the first Army tanks. Their metal tracks inspired the watch's principal feature: its lateral brancards, or the vertical sides. This time, with a perfect simplicity that Cartier liked, the lugs and case formed a straight line."

An expert in luxury watches, who independently identified the timepiece for Forbes, cautioned that it is impossible to be sure of the type of watch—let alone its authenticity—from the available photos.

The Tourbillon Diamant contains a new movement, the Chanel caliber 5, the first flying tourbillon movement made in-house. The flying tourbillon has no upper bridge, so the rotating carriage can be admired without obstruction. This one has another special a touch: a solitaire diamond is set into the center of the carriage, where it rotates with the entire mechanism."
- Chanel Haute Horlogerie Red Edition Collection Is Inspired By Coco Chanel’s Accent Color Of Choice - "Chanel has proclaimed 2022 the year of the ruby, and to celebrate, it’s launching a trio of limited edition watches, all of them set with rubies. The J12 X-Ray Red is lavished with 80 baguette cut rubies. The bezel and crown of the Boy-Friend Skeleton Red Edition is highlighted with rubies, and the crown of the sapphire-cased Boy-Friend Skeleton X-Ray Red Edition is likewise decorated, with the circular bridges of the movement colored red to match. Maison founder Coco Chanel famously loved black and white, and those colors have come to define the brand, but she also had a penchant for red accents, and is said to have declared, 'If you’re sad or heartbroken, make yourself up, dress up, add more lipstick and attack.'"

- Hublot Leads The 2022 Charge To Yellow Gold Watches - "Back in the 1970’s and 1980’s, watches were predominantly made from noble metals and in the realm of gold that meant yellow was king. Sure, there were a host of watches that came out in two-tone and even three-color gold, but predominantly yellow gold reigned supreme. Then, in the late 1990’s rose gold came on strong and by the turn of the new millennium, pink and rose gold were giving way to even darker hues of 5N rose gold - a trend that would last decades. Now, though, we are witnessing a resurgence of interest in yellow gold watches and Hublot is one of the brands leading the charge for 2022."
- Hublot’s Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Cathedral Minute Repeater - "So what’s a minute repeater anyway? First of all, it’s one of my favorite complications in all of watchmaking, not only because it’s a challenge to construct, but also because it adds an aural feature I really enjoy. Minute repeater watches comprise an independent chiming mechanism that strikes different tones for hours, quarter hours, and minutes with the help of two small hammers, actuated on demand."

The watches are highly personalized versions of Jacob & Co.’s well-known Epic X series with bold X-shaped lugs, diamond-set angled bezel on the 44mm case and a colored inner flange. Most importantly, the watch is the perfect venue for customizing it to honor Ronaldo thanks to the two distinctive vertical bridges that are visible on what would be the dial side of the watch (if it had a dial)."
- Jacob & Co. Casino Roulette Tourbillon - "In the beginning, there was Astronomia Casino. Jacob & Co. fit a fully functional roulette, spinning at high speed, complete with 37 pockets, in a full-blown Astronomia, 47-mm timepiece.

So Jacob & Co. designed a new, easier-to-wear interpretation, true to its playfulness and ingenuity. Casino Tourbillon is ripe with the sense of exhilaration and excitement that has become Jacob & Co.'s unique signature."

- Men's luxury watches - "Elegant, refined, timeless... Jaeger-LeCoultre's luxury watches for men all share a classic aesthetic with clean lines that blossom into symmetry on the dial. Since its foundation, the Grande Maison has graced men's wrists with models that combine Haute Horlogerie with an aesthetic of great finesse. In testament to this, the alliance of Jaeger and LeCoultre in 1903 gave rise to a large collection of ultra-thin timepieces. The Reverso, Master, Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris and Duomètre collections offer luxury models for men that endure through time without ever going out of style."
- Women's luxury watches - "Very early on in its story, Jaeger-LeCoultre began to design and create luxury watches for women. Its heritage is resplendent with highly inventive women's watches: pendant, brooch and ring watches; before wrist watches came about in the early twentieth century. The Maison has always focused on offering women timepieces that combine aesthetics with exceptional watchmaking characteristics. In 1929, Jaeger-LeCoultre invented the Calibre 101, which became the smallest mechanical movement in the world to equip timepieces, mostly jewellery watches, resulting in pieces that are as delicate as they are refined. Since its birth in 1931, the Reverso watch has been created for women. Its Art Deco design with clean, geometric lines immediately seduced both sexes. With the invention of the Duetto system, which features two dials back-to-back, the Grande Maison created a model, which could be reversed to reveal a piece of jewellery for evening wear. With the Rendez-Vous collection, created in 2012, Jaeger-LeCoultre offers women watches of unprecedented luxury, combining the beauty of jewellery with the sophistication of an automatic Haute Horlogerie calibre bestowed with complications."

Some tell a story.' was just a one-of-a-kind intro. However, that one-off is related to the most legendary rock band in history: Rolling Stones."

In fact, Rieussec invented what is referred to as the 'time writer' - an inking chronograph. Essentially, two dial disks were put in place in a box and were connected with a small ink pen of sorts that would mark the start of an event on one disk and the finish time of the event on second small disk. The ink writer was the inspiration behind Montblanc’s Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph collection. Now, in honor of the 200th anniversary of that inking chronograph, the brand releases the new Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph Limited Edition 200 watch."

The Everest ascent by Purja, an ex-Gurkha, will be done without the assistance of supplemental oxygen. The Zero Oxygen watch is also going to be oxygen free.

The first boutique to open was in Australia, and at some point, there was a queue of no less than 5,000 people. Swatch decided to bring the maximum number of MoonSwatch watches per customer down to one. Well, you know the rest of the story..."
- Evolution Of James Bond’s Omega Seamaster Watches - Then & Now - "In Ian Fleming’s novels, Bond wore a Rolex. In the first movies, that translated into a Submariner (in the novels it isn’t). Over the years, 007 wore a plethora of watches from all sorts of brands. However, since 1995 James Bond has been wearing Omega watches. Where the cars changed from BMW to Ford Focus, to Aston Martin (again), his choice for watches remained the same. Sponsored or not, the Omega watch has been on the wrist of James Bond since 1995’s GoldenEye."
- OMEGA INTRODUCES THE SPEEDMASTER CHRONOSCOPE, A NEW CHRONOGRAPH WITH A 1940S INSPIRED DIAL - "The new Chronoscope is an interesting mix of the old and new, with an intentionally busy dial meant to evoke a period of time that predates much of the current inspiration for new vintage inspired watch designs, a case that for all intents and purposes seems to be roughly equivalent to that of a modern Speedmaster Pro, and an interesting and beautifully decorated movement."

- $7.8 Million Patek Philippe Silk Road Watch Claims World Record - "Watch fans will recognise the watch as 'The Silk Road,' so dubbed for its depiction of the Eurasian landmass.

The city ring allows the wearer to calculate the current time in 40 cities, all of which are listed on the watch’s circumference.

- A Rare Patek Philippe Owned by the Last Emperor of China Could Fetch Millions at Auction - "The coveted 1930s timepiece is one of only eight in existence. The coveted Reference 96 Quantieme Lune, which was finished by Patek in 1937, represents a true feat of watchmaking. The model notably features a moon-phase indicator and a triple-date calendar. Although these complications are now somewhat commonplace, it was quite difficult to integrate them into thin models at that time. Patek succeeded, of course. The watch in question once belonged to Aisin-Giro Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing dynasty, and has been privy to some incredible moments in history. The timepiece

Rue des Vieux-Grenadiers 7, CH-1205 Geneva, Switzerland.
- Patek Philippe Pumps Up The Volume On Its Minute Repeaters With New High-Tech Amplification System - "As if to remind us there is more to this elite brand than pretty dials on iconic steel watches, Patek Philippe is launching a revolutionary new sound amplification and diffusion system for its chiming watches. In layman’s terms: It’s like putting the minute repeater on stereo. In fact, the system was inspired by the way an old-fashioned phonograph works. The key component is a small, suspended wafer made of sapphire crystal poised on the end of a tuning fork-like suspension. The crystal disk vibrates and sends the sound back down the fork and along a titanium ring that carries the sound outside the case. The result? It powers up the volume of a minute repeater by six times its usual rate. A chiming watch using the new system sounds the same at 60 meters as a classic minute repeater does from 10 meters says Patek Philippe. It is launching today in a 15-piece limited edition as Ref. 5750P. Price upon request."

Patek Philippe holds no less than 31 patents on the movement, seven of which are applied specifically to this reference. Essentially, its technical feat is the display of 1/10th of a second on the central dial simultaneously with the central chronograph seconds hand."
- This Patek Philippe is so Rare it Rewrites the History Books - "Described as an ‘end game’ watch for collectors, the watch has an estimate of $3.73m USD."
- Who bought the Tiffany-Blue Patek 5711 at Phillips Auction for US$6.5 million? - "Watch collector Zach Lu - who has just obtained the ultimate un-obtainium watch - looks out on the horizon and spies pieces he can’t have.

The owner? Bernard Arnault, the chairman and chief executive of LVMH."
- Why A Patek Philippe Isn’t For Everyone - "Let’s face it: most of us are never going to own a Patek Philippe. Most of us will never own an Hublot. If we’re being realistic, most of us watch aficionados may never even own a Rolex either. I’m here to tell you that’s okay. Really. It may, in fact, be good. We shouldn’t strive to own everything we appreciate, and we should be mindful of what is lost in attaining these luxury and hyper-luxury watches."

Make no mistake, blue is still a beloved color, but watch brands are recognizing the soothing effect green has. It reminds us of nature, life and Earth - something everyone is trying to protect these days. As such, it comes as no great surprise that Swiss watch brand Piaget would opt to bedeck its beloved Polo watches in vibrant green."
- Piaget Unveils Polo Skeleton, An Over-The-Top High-Jeweled Mechanical Watch - "It isn’t often that brands get to showcase both their technical prowess and their Métiers d’Arts skills, but with the new Piaget Polo Skeleton, this venerable Swiss brand does exactly that. The new watch houses an ultra-thin movement on the inside and mega-diamond settings on the outside for a dazzling delight set for anyone who has the courage to outshine everyone. The 1,746 brilliant-cut diamonds are really only there, though, to accentuate the wonderful Caliber 1200S1 self-winding ultra-thin skeletonized movement seen via a sapphire crystal and case back. This is one of the world’s thinnest mechanical self-winding movements at just 2.4mm thick (the size of two paper envelopes)."
