Hermes Le Temps Suspendu Watch: Why Do You Suspend Time?
As Hermes fends off attacks from LVMH to retain its independence they also continue to push forward with their prowess as watch makers. For 2011 their horological focal point is the Arceau Le Temps Suspend" watch. That literally means "time suspended," and that is exactly what it does.The watch has been in development for a few years now. Mainly because they couldn't get it to work until they enlisted Mr. Fix-It Jean-Marc Wiederrecht. For me Jean-Marc will always primarily be one of the MB&F "Friends." The time suspended complication isn't that complicated to understand. The watch normally has the time with a retrograde date display. Press the pusher on the left side of the case and the hands jump to a rigid rabbit eared position.and just stop moving. Inside the watch, the movement still keeps track of the time, but you can't see it on the dial. Press the pusher again and the time returns to normal. Child's play.Wiederrecht assured me that the system was reliable and durable. Meani

If the time was a woman, its form would be round, with harmonious shapes and sensual curves.

This semi clock is constructed with a stainless steel case, a diamond-accented round stainless steel bezel and a bracelet with a simple deployment clasp secure link stainless steel.

Any chronoscope fans out there
Tried on the De Ville chronoscope gmt at the weekend and although I find the dial a little mixed up I also think that's part of the appeal. Just curious to the omega family thoughts on this one.
