Time Chimers: 4 Notable Minute Repeaters from SIHH 2015
It is not uncommon during the SIHH watch fair to hear the popping of Champagne corks and the clinking of glasses in the luxuriously appointed halls of Geneva’s Palexpo. This year, guests also heard the pleasant chiming of several new minute repeater watches from the exhibiting luxury watch brands. Here are four repeater watches from SIHH 2015 that caught our eye �� and ear.The A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk Minute Repeater is the first Lange watch to combine? jumping time displays for the hours and minutes with a 10-minute interval repeater. The simple, legible dial belies the complexities of the movement and its chiming mechanism.? Since the time can be read quickly (jumping hours are displayed in a window at 9 o'clock, minutes are on two discs of different heights at 3 o'clock, and small seconds at the bottom of the dial), the wearer can then turn his attention down to the bottom of the dial, where the two black-polished steel hammers for the minute repeater are readily visible o

Ben Bridge Jewelers is no longer an authorized Omega dealer . . .
I heard it last Friday from another Omega AD and it was confirmed by a friend who works at a local Ben Bridge store today. He is a Sales Associate and did not know the reason, but they got the memo this morning. He mentioned that they are going to offer all their Omega stock at 20% off. I was not impressed because I get 30% off from an out-of-state AD.

5524g
I am contemplating acquiring a Patek 5524g in the very near future. Would love to hear from current and former owners of this reference. If you did own the 5524g and parted ways with it, was there a particular reason? Unfortunately the local AD is sold out of this model so I am not able to try it on. I am less concerned about the 42mm size as I am about the 2 Travel Time pushers on the left side of the case digging into the wrist. Has anyone experienced this issue?Thank you in advance for your input.

Should I pull the trigger on a Panerai or???
Hey everyone,I had my heart set on getting myself a 000 or 005...even a 111...or 112 but have had no luck getting one at the AD near me (Please understand that regardless of the cost benefits of getting used...I always like my purchases new and from an AD to be comfortable). They however have none of the models described above (I live in the Toronto area) but only a 113 white faced. I really like it but wanted to get a black one as my first Panerai. They had the 177 and 176...but just didn't like the titanium....felt a little too light ... I like weight with my watches. They showed me their entry level automatic...didn't like the bubble on the date. So they presented a 312 to me. I liked it a lot but wasn't it love with the feel of the 1950s case...I guess I could get use to it..felt bulky but looked amazing. Well price of the 312 is up there $8500 plus tax...in Canada it all ads up!! After taxes...I can get a new white Milgauss which I like as well for almost $3000 less! I cu
