TOP 10 Watches Of SIHH 2015
Attending the SIHH watch trade show in Geneva, Switzerland, is as much an exploration of geo-politics and economics as it is experiencing what's new in luxury watches and jewelry. 2015 was another slow and restrained year that will be historically relevant because just days before the opening of the show the Swiss National Bank decided to immediately change the valuation of the Swiss Franc making it more valuable against the Euro �C and thus also against most other world currencies as well. In one fell swoop the Swiss Franc �C which most watches presented at the SIHH are based on �C increased in value by 20%. The ramifications of this were not insignificant, as buyers from around the world suddenly had to face the reality that they had less buying power, and the Swiss watch brands faced the reality that they would sell a lot less product.SIHH is, after all, a sales event whose main goal is to attract retailers from around the world to order the newest luxury novelties that will later be s

PP 5575 - doesn't like my Orbita winder
Acquired my new PP 5575 about a month ago. Wore it quite frequently with zero issues - kept time perfectly.Decided to place it on my Orbita Bellino winder that I programmed to Orbita specs per their website: CCW 800 for Caliber 240 HUA few days later I checked on it and the 5575 seems to be running very slow. Obviously, the Orbita winder is not programmed properly.Any recommendations from other 5575 owners on how to solve this problem?Thanks!PS: Yes, the batteries are fresh. No, I'm not going to wear it every day. All my other annual calendars work perfectly on my Orbitas so they are programmed correctly.

So, I always wanted a vintage looking piece but it is a mine field trying to find something original and good for a fair price.....Enter the BB58. It looks the perfect size for my small wrist and I really like the design, so I have agreed to move my Sub on and waiting quietly for the 58. The Daytona will have to take up the slack for a whi
