Rolex Datejust Watch: New Official Video
Rolex has just released a new video titled "The Spirit of the Datejust" just two weeks in advance of Baselworld 2015, and in honor of the 70th anniversary of the iconic Datejust collection, which originally debuted in 1945.

I don't even think it is worth listing some of the memorable roles he played because there are so many, and each person who was lucky enough to see him perform in various ways has their own personal connection with what he meant to

Pre-eminent Vacheron Constantin 222 by Gerald Genta
Since the beginning of my dependence on watch (to admit), I am a sucker for designs of Gerald Genta in the 1970s. Most of the time, I overlooked the Vacheron and drool on the photos of "his" Patek Philippe Nautilus, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and IWC Ingenieur SL.
