Jaeger-LeCoultre Sets Up Dedicated Site For Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie Watch, To Make Case For $2.5 Million Purchase
First of all, I am a big fan of the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie watch and the accompanying set. I discussed it at length here when going over the announcement of the Hybris Mechanica. Once again, it is the current most complex watch in the world, comes in a limited edition of just 30 sets, and will cost over $2.5 million. Recently Jaeger-LeCoultre has unveiled the watch itself and the uber display box (the safe), they have also opened a dedicated website to showcase just what the Hybris Mechanica set is all about, focusing of course on the Grande Sonnerie. You can check out the site here. The site is very nice looking and gives you lots of nice little details about the watch that you'd otherwise miss by just looking at it. However, the site is not easy to navigate - another victim of form over function. Just look out for the easy to miss "X" button on the upper right hand corner when you want to go back to the previous page (welcome to a Flash-based nightmare)

The Complete Guide To The Patek Philippe Reference 3417 Amagnetic
One of the most interesting watches made by Patek Philippe during the middle of last century are those that we can call "Amagnetic." These rare references feature additional inner case backs, and in some cases, anti-magnetic escapement components such as solid gold or beryllium to ensure the timekeeping was not affected by any magnetism in close proximity to the watch. Now you might be thinking "hey, that's just like the Rolex Milgauss!" and you're right. It's also a lot like IWC's Ingenieur, and JLC's Geophysic. You see, the Amagnetic Pateks were really the great manufactures first and only foray into what we often call "tool" watches. 2 OF 3 And while the Amagnetic Pateks (3417 in steel, 2570 in gold) have always had a cult following, we've seen an increased interest in them by a whole new breed of buyers in the past years. We thought we had seen results hit fever pitch when last December, a 3417 sold for almost $50,

Pam 533
Hey guys, need some help here. I'm Rolex through and through but I'm really jonesing for something different. I was a hair's breadth from pulling the trigger on a Pam 533 today. I was offered 10% by the local (and only) boutique but an AD offered me 12%. Both discounts seem pretty reasonable to me but I know nothing about Panerai. Is that sort of discount good or could I do a lot better? I don't want to go down the route of a trusted seller, I want to buy from an AD.This watch really sang to me but don't want to buy in haste to find I could've done better elsewhere.
