The Value Proposition: The Amazing, Incredible, And Semi-Affordable, Atmos Clock From Jaeger-LeCoultre
As the current new guy at HODINKEE, it gives me no small pleasure to introduce – I should say, re-introduce – an old reader favorite: The Value Proposition. It’s been on hiatus for some time but you’ve asked us repeatedly to bring it back, and we listened.In Value Proposition we bring you a look at some of horology’s biggest and best bang-for-the-buck – timepieces that, in a world where price increases have for over a decade shut more and more out of enjoying mechanical horology, really over deliver in the value department. In general this means things in the under $10,000 category but at the same time, you might see us occasionally cover something like, say, a $15,000 minute repeater that sounds as nice as a $300,000 chiming complication, which seems unlikely, but hey, if it exists, you’ll read about it here first.Today, let’s talk about the Atmos clock, from Jaeger-LeCoultre. The Atmos is nothing more nor less than one of the absolute c

Problem with ROO 44mm novelty
So I noticed the crown was rough to turn during wind up after about 5 revolutions. The watch had sat for about a week and was this fully unwound. I stopped and hoped the watch would continue winding itself automatically on my wrist tonight, which It did. Just got home and decided to try again and found it was still rough. Not only that, but it won't change the date anymore. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Patek is so boring
I have been waiting for them to come up with something interesting for years now. I love the minute repeaters but they are out of my budget. Other than that? I dont know.I LOVE the 5159 retrograde perpetual calender. That watch is a piece of art. Its so romantic. So yellow gold. I love it. Is it boring? Kind of. It lacks something. I dont know. But I adore that model. It will be my first PP unless Patek comes up with something new. I am in Geneva now.You guys need to visit this place. Watches and history everywhere. Expensive tho yet the CHF is cheaper than tbe EUR.Nautilus. That rounded octagon shape that still has corners? So not exactly rounded? I find it hideous. Thabk god because they are impossible to get.No one does minute repeaters, yellow gold and perpetual calenders (except for FPJ) better than PP.If Basel doesnt bring anything interesting I will own a Patek (5159J) but just because I dont like anything else. This is my personal preferance. Dont get offended by it. What are y

Pseudo Official Yacht Master Appreciation Thread
An earlier post got me thinking. I know the YM to some is the read headed step child but for some it is a grail. Please feel free to share your YM pics and comments BTW, I am a former owner of a SS Plat YM. I wish I had never sold it. I am not on the hunt for another, but I cant make up my mind between the older one with the sparkly Plat dial or the Dark Rhodium with the blue accents.
