The Montblanc Metamorphosis II Transforms Before Your Eyes (With Video)
At Hong Kong's Watches and Wonders Fair this year, Montblanc introduced the Metamorphosis II, a watch that takes its name quite literally. With the slide of a lever, it transforms: subdials retract to reveal a wholly different display and set of functions. Read on to see how it works. The Metamorphosis II further develops a concept from the Montblanc TimeWriter I: Metamorphosis, which Montblanc introduced in 2010. Now in a fully rounded rose-gold case with a 52-mm diameter, the Metamorphosis II provides a more classically elegant version of the transforming watch.?At first blush, the Metamorphosis II employs design cues drawn from other Montblanc dress watches. The dial has a regulator-like design: a seconds hand is mounted at the center, along with a retrograde minutes hand that arcs just slightly more than 180 degrees. At the top is a recessed hours subdial with Roman numerals. The subdial at 6 o'clock shows the date, with the hand beneath a sapphire bridge. The main part of the dial

Whenever I looked at jewelry, I would be drawn to rose gold.Fast forward to last week. I was in Chicago at a research conference (I am a Professor) and I wanted to purchase a set of platinum diamond earrings for my wife to replace a set I bought her early in our relationship. We were skydiving and she lost one of the earrings a couple of years ago, and I have been meaning to get her a new set ever since. In Chicago, I found a diamond broker on Jewelry Row and designed a replacement set of earrings. While I wa

Rolex diameter choices
Does anyone know how does Rolex dictate what watches get what diameters? I'm a part of the small wrist gang, 7in, and would love to see Rolex make some 37s-39s, especially in GMTs and Subs. However, if Rolex came out with the Deepsea 116660 in a 38in...I would camp outside the AD. I like the new subs, but not a fan of the tankery on my wrist. I hope Rolex comes out with a slimmer case (already a thread about this) and/or a smaller diameter, 38in.
