Italian Tendence Round Gulliver Watches: Budget N.O.A
You have got to see the advertising that Tendence No Limits watches produce. One of the video's below is an advertisement, while the other video shows a type of marketing that Italian Tendence engages in. That being a location in the virtual world Second Life. They aren't the first company to have virtual real estate in Second Life as Hublot did it first a while back. The idea is that you have a branded area in a the virtual world that people can explore and get interested in the brand. Avatars can buy virtual watches to wear, but more importantly, it is branding for real world sales. I can't say how successful it is, but I like the idea.Well on to the watches. For now I am talking about a single line of models, the Round Gulliver watches from Tendence. I take it Gulliver refers to the term meaning "head." So the round head watch it is.

First Look: Highlights From November's Phillips Geneva Watch Auction: Two (Featuring A Rolex Daytona 6265 And A Rare Patek Philippe 2497)
Earlier today we told you that Phillips has a new international head of watches in ex-Christie's co-head Sam Hines – but we know what you guys like to see, and that's watches. So we're back to give you a small little taste of the types of watches we'll see in the Phillips Geneva Watch Auction: Two, taking place this November 8th. Patek Philippe 2497 Perpetual Calendar In Pink Gold 1 OF 10 The first watch we'll look at is a reference 2497 from Patek. The 2497 is considered one of the finest and most elegant watches made by the house of Patek – it is a perpetual calendar dating to the 1950s.

PP Museum
Just returned from a trip to Geneva, the highlight of which had to be the PP museum. I was fortunate enough to be given a private guided tour which was absolutely fascinating. Not only PP watches but the entire horological history. If ever you are given the opportunity to visit, I cannot recommend it highly enough. Unfortunately no cameras allowed.A visit to the PP boutique followed, and after viewing the watches on the ground floor I was taken up to view the grand complications. There was even a sky moon tourbillon on display. From there I was taken up to the VIP suite on the 5th floor, where, no doubt fine champagne is quaffed while celebrating an important purchase. A great way to spend a few hours.
