Ladoire Roller Guardian Time – The UFO of Watchmaking?
Lionel Ladoire launched his eponymous company in 2007 and his first timepiece is an audacious effort. He refers to it as the UFO of watchmaking, and the company’s press materials acknowledge that this piece leaves no one indifferent. It may not come as a surprise that Ladoire is a surfer and a rock drummer as well as a talented young watchmaker. If you saw him on the street, you would not think “I bet he’s a horologist.” Others claim to be nonconformists; Ladoire walks the walk. Ladoire’s creation is called the Roller Guardian Time, or RGT, and at 56 x 45 x 16.3mm, this uniquely-shaped timepiece makes a striking statement on the wrist. The shape has been likened to that of a pebble, and the analogy is apt. The asymmetric shape is soft, organic, and surprisingly balanced. The automatic movement with micro-rotors is an in-house design realized with the help of skilled outside partners. Though it may not be obvious at first glance, the watch has only one trad

Possible issue with my Chronomat Evolution
My Breitling Chronomat Evolution had been sitting in the bank for a week and I brought it home the other day. I wound up the watch and stuck it into my watchwinder. I went to go check the watch a day or so later and I saw that the watch was about 5 hours slow! The funny thing there was that the watch was still running when I saw the watch. My other watches were fine, so I know the power didn't go out or anything. I fixed the time and have been wearing the watch for the last few days. Now, the time seems fine. It hasn't lost time since.Any explanations?

ETA/Valjoux 7750 Help - Running Out of Power
I have an Omega Seamaster Professional that was recently serviced.Prior to the service, I could wear the watch and never have to worry about it running out of power. I did this for almost twenty years (with modest service on the watch in that time).After the most recent service, I can't seem to get anything more than the power reserve from winding the watch--consistenly about 55 hours after 2.5 days, measured multiple times over a couple weeks.I have a Rolex watch that I can wear FAR less and not EVER have any issues with it running out of power.I know the mechanisms are different (7750 winds in one direction, Rolex in both directions), but I'm struggling with this being normal after a full service--especially since I never had any issues with automatc winding prior to the service. Plus, the 7750 has such a storied history of performance, I would imagine there'd be posts everywhere if the watch had to be manually wound every day-and-a half....Is this at all normal that the watch runs

Omega Repair Center in the US?
Hello,My Omega Constellation Quartz has been going slow. Changed the batters but it did not help. It is 6 years old and probably needs service and repair. Can you recommend a good Omega Service Center in the US (I am in Pittsburgh). How much would it cost and will they polish the watch?Thanks very much for your response!

From Rose to Gold...
Just wanted to share a few pictures from a gorgeous evening in Florida.I am really loving RG, and find myself constantly taking pictures because my watch changes colors based on different times of day, inside and outside, sunny and overcast and simple angles from the sun.The four pics below were all taken within 3 minutes at a couple different angles and you can see the progession from Rose/Pinkish hue to Yellowish/Golden Gold.And having a watch with such impeccable finishing as this PP makes it even a greater delight.FROM ROSE TO GOLD2016-07-23_22-39-53.jpg2016-07-23_22-41-37.jpg2016-07-23_22-42-30.jpg2016-07-23_22-43-14.jpg
