The central retrograde minute display may grab your attention, but it is only the appetizer. The unique jump hour display consists of a 12-link chain that looks like a tank track, powered by its own barrel. As they say on the late night commercials… but wait, there’s more. The movement of the jump-hour chain causes the entire escapement assembly to rotate 60o four times each day. With each new hour, the escapement assumes a new position. When it is time for the hour to change, the new digit takes four seconds to move into place. The designers purposely selected a “slow-motion” change, because an instantaneous change could generate shocks that might negatively affect the movement.The retail price is $200,000 in rose gold, and $219,000 in white gold.

Jewel Shop in Santa Monica
I'm just popping over from the Rolex side of the forums to let you Omega-eans know that Tony at the Jewel Shop in Santa Monica, California, talked me up a little last night and even gave me an Omega 2007 catalog (0.75 inches thick!). They have a lot of stock in there (Omega, Baume et Mercier, Tag, Mont Blanc) and business appears to be slow. On my way out, he offered to deal on price without me even hinting that I wanted to buy anything. So, if you are in the market for an Omega (alas, I am not, tho they are pretty), you may wish to give Tony a chance.All best,MarkJewel Shop1353 Third Street PromenadeSanta Monica, CA 90401310-451-1113Tony

5711 Blue Dial available at New Jersey AD
Hi, just wanted to let anyone who's interested know that LaViano Jewelers in Westwood, NJ just this morning got in a brand new 5711 blue dial. I'm getting one from my local AD soon so I passed on it. I have no affiliation with this dealer and just wanted to share the info as I know how incredibly hard these are to come by. Call and ask for Mike!
