Alain Silberstein Tourbillon Black Storm Watch Available On James List
Are you ready for a watch like this? Is anyone ever really ready for a watch like this? Among his many watches, Alain Silberstein offers some tourbillon models. Less popular today, a few years ago these iconoclastic tourbillon timepieces really offered something very different. Take this Black Storm model (ref. TS511) that combines his playful French design, an interesting tourbillon movement, and urban toned camouflage.The idea is really when you get to a watch like a tourbillon reason loses a lot of meaning. Art is what makes sense and here Alain Silberstein is having fun (like he always does). Not everyone is a fan of his aesthetic - that is OK. I believe design aesthetics such as his are meant to be polarizing. In the Black Storm watch is a manually wound tourbillon based movement that I believe are exclusive to his pieces. He doesn't make the movements, but no one else has them.The tourbillon is a flying tourbillon, and done in a manner that I find interesting. The lower part of t

Gerald Genta Arena Metasonic Sonnerie Watch - $900,000
Whoa there Gerald Genta (and I speak to the company, not the man - as he isn't part of the brand any more). What is going on here? Where did this come from? Last thing I expected from you was a highly sophisticated sonnerie watch. You say that you have been doing this for a while (making sonnerie watches), but the last one that you released was in the mid 1990s? I am confused. Well forget all that, the watch is really cool. Looking at it, I can tell that the watch is Gerald Genta in form, but really dark in feel. Looks like something that H.R. Giger would wear. He is the artist that designed the aliens, from the Alien movie series. This is because the watch combines a sense of machinery with the biometric forms that the artist is know for. I suppose Gerald Genta is also known for that. Did you know that H.R. Giger is also Swiss?Anyhow, the watch is meant to be the most complex Grande Sonnerie watch in the world. This is not to be confused with the most complex watch in the world - the

Montbrillant 01
Hi all,I am interested in buying a montbrillant. Important to me that it has the new 01 in house movement. Given the hit taken on buying new from AD I wondered if anyone had any recommendations as to where to source, I am happy with pre owned, as long as in good condition, with papers.Also, am I correct in thinking it came with the 01 from 2011 onwards?Thanks, Pete

128 Days with my 8 month old BLNR
I've never been much of a stickler for this but many postings on TRF made me think: hmmm, how well is my beautiful BLNR doing in the accuracy department?I was stunned. I expected it to be great but, to me, this is insanely great. 128 days between settings (I had to change my 24 hour GMT hand yesterday because most of the U.S. went on daylight savings time and my home time zone jumped ahead one hour).Summary: 44 seconds gained over 128 days = ~ 1/3 of a second a day.
