Cartier ID Two Concept Watch: Goodbye Metal
In the slow warm Swiss summer, Cartier wrapped up its announcement of their latest concept watch called the ID Two (ID2). It is a follow-up to the ID One watch from a few years ago and while something totally different, is a serious step forward in the progress the ID One attempted to make (the futurization of the mechanical watch). There are a few ways of looking at the ID Two. You could look at it as a gear-head watch lover and be in awe, you could look at it as a luxury marketer and scratch your head, or you could look at it from the perspective of a consumer and think, "now that is pretty cool, I'd buy one for the right price." The ID Two won't be available for any price because Cartier isn't going sell any. In fact it might be worth much more to them as a marquee product and brand defining concept piece.

Milus Herios TriRetrograde Seconds Skeleton Watch Give More To Stare At

Rolex finally broke
Well I haven't been around for awhile but this brought me back. Was changing the date on my explorer 2, 28th to 1st. And when I got to 31 is was getting harder to move the dial then a slight snap and no more movement. It worked for about a min them stopped all together. Well had the watch since 06 and was meaning to send it in for service and guess I have no choice now. So I work downtown chicago and decided to bring it in person to the chicago service center instead of shipping to Dallas, think the service will be the same? Good news in all of this is that I don't want to be without a watch so I ended up picking up a Panerai 112, hard to go away from rolex but liked the leather. But this is addicting already looking for a sub so can finally have a sub with NATO strap.
