Roger Dubuis Excalibur Automatic Skeleton Carbon (Updated with Live Photos and Price)
Roger Dubuis kicked off its “Year of the Diva” at SIHH 2016, with new product releases almost solely restricted to its Velvet collection of haute horlogerie ladies’ watches. However, the brand’s many male fans still found a few new timepiece made with them in mind, notably the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Automatic Skeleton Carbon.The new watch continues the skeleton theme that dominated last year’s SIHH output from Roger Dubuis (more on which here). It is a new version of the Excalibur Automatic Skeleton, the brand’s first non-tourbillon skeleton timepiece, powered by its first-ever skeletonized movement with automatic winding. But whereas the original model was housed in an 18k rose gold case, the new one features a case made of a high-tech composite called carbon fiber sheet moulding compound (SMC).Carbon fiber SMC is a lightweight material, prized in the aerospace industry for its ability to deliver high productivity and cost efficiency, and enabling t

A Week On The Wrist: The Tissot Le Locle Chronometre
From the very first clocks to the invention of the quartz crystal, a preoccupation with producing ever more accurate timepieces dominated the history of watchmaking. But after quartz, which is more accurate than any mechanical mechanism, this largely died out. Keeping the tradition going though is the COSC chronometer designation, a mark of stringent accuracy under duress - and in 2012, Tissot's Le Locle Chronometre was pronounced by the Concours International de Chronometrie to be the most accurate mechanical watch of the year. The Chronometer So I guess the first question here is what exactly is a chronometer? The short answer is an extremely accurate mechanical timekeeping device - clock, watch, or otherwise. But the long answer is much more complicated than that, and much more interesting. 2 OF 30 Sketch of Jeremy Thacker's Original Chronometer This answer takes us back to the early eighteenth century, where many of watchmaking's great

Incoming Broad Arrow!
Just purchased a 2006 Broad Arrow! After deliberating and searching for a moonwatch for sometime now. I opted for something different. I came across the cream dial and blue hand broad arrow and said wow! Needless to say I fell in love. Figured it would be a nice addition to the collection. I've never owned a white dial watch. Here's a pic from the current owner, I will be receiving it by the end of the week.

Don��t buy a WG Pepsi he says it looks like SS
A friend of mine asked me the other day, Do you know that you have a WG watch on that looks like a SS watch? I wouldn't buy it because no one knows it's gold my response to him was that's just the way I like it I don't buy watches for other people's satisfaction. I love the fact that my WG Pepsi flies under the radar, and that most people think it's just SS, that's the true beauty of watch collecting to me.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
