A Week On The Wrist: The Glash��tte Original Senator Chronograph Panorama Date With Manufacture Caliber 37-01
The world of in-house, self-winding chronograph movements started out small in 1969 with the Breitling/Heuer/Buren Caliber 11, the Zenith El Primero, and the Seiko caliber 6139 and it coincided with the beginning of the quartz era, which did not exactly provide a lush financial environment for horological innovation (as we all know the Seiko caliber 6139 is long gone, as is the caliber 11 and if it weren’t for the fact that Rolex started using the El Primero in the Daytona in 1988, that might not be around either. Today it’s still a small group, at least in comparison to the number of brands offering automatic chronographs – aside from the ETA/Valjoux 7750 and its derivatives, which are so ubiquitous you have no choice but to call them that, there are a handful from makers like Breitling, Rolex, Seiko, TAG Heuer, and Omega, and Jaeger-LeCoultre, and it’s no coincidence that generally they come from manufacturers – or via manufacturers – who have the

A Dream Visit to AP in Le Brassus, Switzerland - Part 1
This a long overdue report that I have promised back in June before my dream visit to AP in Switzerland! It was a 2-day visit in Le Brassus, but there was some time to spend in Geneva before and after the trip to Vallee de Joux. I also took the opportunity to tour other parts of Switzerland. Tons of photos were taken in this 14-day trip, the best are selected here for a photo essay to record this memorable experience. Some of you might have seen some real-time photos I've posted in IG (orangedial17), but there are many more I want to share here and thus the report will come in a few instalments :) I would like to sincerely thank AP Singapore, in particular the management and boutique, for their kind invite and utmost hospitality for hosting this unforgettable visit to the AP HQ, museum and factory facilities in Le Brassus. Not only have I gained more in-depth knowledge about the history, technology, passion, direction, and many interesting details behind the scene, my respects for the

TSA commented on my watch
I travel pretty frequently for work (12-18 times a year) and use to travel every other week for a few years and have never run into a TSA person who said anything about a watch before. Last night traveling back from Seattle, the guy at the scanner said Nice watch. Can I ask what it is? I was taken by surprise by it but loved it. He was wearing a Quartz Seiko chronograph. I asked if he was into watches and he said he was but can't afford a nice one yet, but is saving in hopes of being able to buy one some day.I was wearing my Breitling Avenger Blackbird and must admit that out of my collection, I was surprised this is the one that got noticed in public. It's the least flashy of higher end watches, except maybe for the Omega SM300.

I have a very important Pepsi vs. Coke GMT question.
Hi guys, I hope you can clarify this for me as it's really making me lose sleep....When I think Pepsi:The Blue/Red, BLRO, etc. pattern becomes pretty obvious to me.But instead when I think Coke:Where is the Black/Red color combo ?!? More like Red/White methinks...Where is the moniker coming from then ? (Because the Coke Zero is much more recent than the Fat Lady....)Please help me recover my normal sleep and clarify this to me.Thanks !(This post can also be called Slow Day at the Office....)
