Jaeger-LeCoultre: Gorgeous New Atmos Clocks
Jaeger-LeCoultre has been producing stunning Atmos clocks for more than 80 years, and at SIHH two new models debuted that continue the tradition. One is a re-edition of a 1930s clock, and the other a contemporary piece in Baccarat crystal designed by Marc Newson. In 1928, the engineer Jean-L��on Reutter devised a clock movement designed to run for several centuries without wearing out or requiring any external intervention. Fascinated by this revolutionary invention, Jaeger-LeCoultre applied its manufacturing capabilities to developing and perfecting the mechanism, and the Atmos clock was born.The Atmos mechanism is a marvel of engineering. It is powered by minute temperature fluctuations. Even a 1 degree Celsius change is enough to provide 48 hours of power reserve. Its annular balance also operates in an amazingly economical manner: by oscillating just two times per minute, its energy consumption is 250 times less than that of a conventional wristwatch. Here is an amazing statistic: i

I went to the AD last night to trade my Daytona for a brand new RO 15400.For anyone in Dallas, I highly recommend going to Eiseman Jewels and talking with Mike or Kevin. They are both very knowledgeable, honest, and they don't pressure you to buy something. I received fantastic service from them, I'll for sure be buying my next watch there.I am having the watch shipped to where I am getting married next week, saves me the sales tax, so I don't have it on my wrist today.Here are some shots from the deal yesterday :They gave me some scotch to celebrate.uploadfromtaptalk1435933986774.jpgWhich was served in this. Interesting thing is that Rolex owns these glasses and could ask for them back at any time.uploadfromtaptalk1435934019712.jpgI asked for some SWAG, and got a very nice AP draw string bag, leather wallet, and hat.uploadfromtaptalk1435934111141.jpgAnd here is the watch sized. I'll take some more pics once I have it. It's a perfect fit. Lugs don't overhang on either side, and it jus

Recommendations for a former Rolex wearer?
I'm just learning about Breitling's and to be honest, I've seen them in stores and never took a second look at them, primarily because they looked huge and enormous. What are some models that are not so huge and weigh a ton? I've recenlty sold two submariners and I'm looking for something a little more original that every Tom, Dick and Harry isn't wearing. Any recommendations? I'm not a huge, huge, guy, med athletic build, Hence I hear all the former NFL players, TV sportscasters are all big Breitling fans, ..Thanks

Trying to decide on a new PAM317, 335 or a 438?
Looking for advise on my first Panerai. This will not be a daily wearer and I do like to change my bands on my other watches. I currently own a breitling blackbird and a Bell & Ross BR02. My B&R is my daily driver but want something a little more unique and dresser for evenings out with wife and friends. My initial thinking is to get the PAM438 to get the ceramic bracelet and add some leather bands but I can't help but like the PAM317 and 335 for there power reserves. The 317K is really cool as well with the PVD coated internal parts. My concerns are they are all relatively similar in price but the 438 since it's newer seems to be the least discounted on the resale market. Also, I would like to buy something I won't see often since my others are more common place and I want it to hold its value as well as possible. Any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
