Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso By Zep Watch
I'll be really frank that I have no idea who or what Zep is. I mean I know a bit more now after researching and writing this article, but seeing his little smoke plume-haired character for the first time was a novel experience. I guess it is a Swiss/European thing. WhatTin Tin makes it international but Titeuf and Asterix are Euro only? Having said that, I do love cartoons and comics of all varieties. Something about hand-drawn things that really appeal to me.Zep is the pseudonym of an artist who draws and writer a comic strip series known as Titeuf and is Swiss. I swear, I was not even sure the Swiss were capable of comics and humor until I saw this. Though it is all in French so I don't know what type of humor it is. Can anyone out there comment? I hear he is pretty popular.Zep's real name is Philippe Chappuis, and recently worked with Jaeger-LeCoultre on this one-of-a-kind Zep watch. I think it is pretty cool.. Zep designed the dial and caseback engraving. There is also a special tr

Hands-On: The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar With Black Dial, New For 2016
You know what, sometimes the best of SIHH doesn't have to be brand new. Case in point, this Jaeger-LeCoultre perpetual calendar, which was shown in 2013 for the first time, is back, and back in black. This is the watch that set the world on fire by being an integrated perpetual calendar – which, of course, is a true high complication – but housed in steel, and costing a mere $20,000. It's very much the same watch, but with a new black dial, it takes on a whole new look. 1 OF 3 We have the same 39 mm case, the same self-winding manufacture JLC movement, the same clever display that includes both moon phase and full year – just in black. The black dial set against the high-polished hands is really striking, and I could see this watch worn on a cool calf strap to dress it down. 2 OF 3 ADVERTISEMENT As I mentioned when this watch came out, I love nothing more than seeing true high end watchmaking in steel ca

RO chrono Or WG Sub
I have a special birthday coming up (30) and I'm looking for a timeless piece that will age well, the main contenders are the WG Sub and the Royal Oak Chrono 41mm steel 26320 with white dialI love both pieces and hope to one day own both - although for now I'm leaning towards the API have a few special pieces (ROO & RG SkyDweller) but I'm looking for something semi-discreet that can be worn in meetings. It must also be a piece that will not date as I will keep it foreverI have also considered the IWC Porto perpetual but it may be too similar a style of occasion watch to the SkyDAny help or thoughts would be appreciated!

My AD is awesome
Because I am getting a 5711 zhich was supposed to arrive in June or July, but I told him it would be great if I could get it during Basel as last year I had the tickets, for Basel and for the flight Paris Zurich, but 24 hours before leaving I caught cold and for 3-4 days was in my bed with 39 degrees celsius.He just called me to say that Patek is semding him one on the 16th of March, so I will make it to Basel, he came through big time for me and I am very greatful, will go to Basel with de66, Dimitry, if someone else is going tell him or me and we can meet there.So it will be a triple, Basel, Daytona C that I bought in October but it arrived late, and of course the 5711, very happy to have this great news for a triple whamy

Nautilus size differences
Fellow addicts,I am here seeking some advice on picking out my first Patek.I have been eyeing a few (being the 5711, 5980 and 5726) and was wondering if there was a difference in overall size between the 5980 and 5726. Obviously the 5980 has the chrono pushers but i was wondering if the case thickness is different too. If anyone has first hand photos to compare too that would be AWESOME! Thanks guys!
