Today the Montblanc has the patent and the timing of Nicolas Rieussec movement
There are about two hundred years inventor Nicolas Rieussec attempted to develop a timing system which records the exact times managed by horses, building a case in wood with a clock movement leaving ink on two rotary dials to measure time. RIEUSSEC used his machine to an event organized in 1821, each record horse with finish time precision of a quarter of a second of horse racing. Taking the Greek word for time. Chronos; and graphien; to write; Nicolas Rieussec invented the first chronograph. Today the Montblanc has the patent and the timing of Nicolas Rieussec movement, making their relationship with the Breeders' Cup a natural.

The Value Proposition: Laco Chronograph Watch "New York," Offering Better Value Than Rent
For the first chronograph covered in The Value Proposition, we take a look at a solid offering from a brand we haven’t covered too much here on HODINKEE: Laco. Founded in 1925, the German company gained fame for its pilot’s watches produced in the 1940s. Its current range of watches includes a number of chronographs inspired by the brand’s historic models, with a few modern design updates. If you’ve been looking for a chronograph with traditional looks, but without faux patina or dramatic detailing, the Laco Chronograph Watch “New York” could be a good bet. It also doesn’t hurt that it comes in under $3,000. 2 OF 6 The Valjoux 7750 is a veritable workhorse movement that can be found in many modern chronograph watches. First, a bit about the movement: the Laco Chronograph Watch “New York” uses a Valjoux 7750. This self-winding calibre was introduced in 1974, using a coulisse-lever design in lieu of the more traditi

omega deployant option - watch obsession version?
anyone try the omega-style deployant by watch obsession?like other knockoffs (altho they state omega style so i guess it's technically not a knockoff), the build quality is usually faulty around the enclosure itself, not very crisp/firm click of the enclosure. as well as buttons too-easily release the deployant, and doesn't close fully flush with the rest of the body.i've certainly had a few bad experiences with such fakes.i asked watch obsession for additional photos, and they were kind enough to send me a few shots (very quick response, btw!).what do u think?any enthusiasts here have had good experience with this particular model?if high quality, the price is too good to give up (compared to OEM).

Patek - Daily Wearing? 5726
Hey everyone - sometime before the end of the year I will be ordering/purchasing a new Patek 5726 Grey on a Bracelet - I have loved the look of the watch ever since i saw it at our local AD a few years back before I really could afford to buy it.So my small collection of nice watches so far is all Rolex, I have a black 116610 sub and also a blue white gold 116619 sub as well - both of these watches swap places on my wrist for months at a time, except when I wear one of my basic watches when I do yard work and stuff - this is where my question lies - is the Patek built to be worn daily?? My job isn't crazy, I am a office guy working in the marketing technology space - but have never had something this nice before and I just wanted to understand how 'daily wearer' this watch can be.When spending this much on a nice thing, early on I know it will be for special occasions only - but over time as I get comfortable it will likely spend weeks/months on my wrist - so just trying to understand
