Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon Watch
For 2014, Jacob & Co. returns with a rather amazing watch creation sure to impress everyone from traditional watch lovers to the public at large. Watch the video below of the new Astronomia Tourbillon and it is easy understand why "wow" is a typical response to this complex and very interesting horological creation. When and whether the Astronomia will actually be produced is another question, but even if the timepiece remains a digital video I would be happy at the creation of the mere concept.Jacob & Co. was one of the first watch makers to understand the power of "insane watch," that being a mechanical watch of epic complication meant solely to wow and impress in a manner akin to the tone and content of many rap music videos.

HELP! Looking for 3572.50...
Hello all,Disclaimer alert: please forgive any error on my part, I am completely new to watches.I am looking to purchase a first watch as a wedding present and had my eye on the Speedmaster. By nature I'm very curious and having read several forums, blogs and articles, I've been leaning towards the new Hesalite (311.30.42.30.01.005) because of its vintage look and feel (and history), but at the same time I love the back sapphire case on the Sapphire Sandwich one.And so my research has led me towards the 3572.50, which basically has both features I'm looking for. Can anyone help me, is it possible to find a new 3572.50? If not, what would be the reliable and suggested way of purchasing it second-hand? Any idea what they go for approximately?On another note, is it just the Omega website or are the 3570.50 and the newer version actually different, because the pictures on the website don't look the same at all....omegawatches/watches/...2-mm/35705000/https://.omegawatches/watches...1130423

Attention to detail
I continue to be impressed with the thought Omega put into the design of the PloProf. When I replaced the mesh with the Maratac strap, I discovered that the case has notches for the spring bars to slip down into:A nice touch that makes changing straps a lot easier.Fr. John?

Rollie and Omega
Do any of you like to change back and forth between your Omegas and your Rollies? I have a Seamaster and I really like it. It does not have the ultimate gravitas of the Rolex, but it is definitely nice and I find the two to be kindred watch spirits. What do you think?
