Patek Philippe Celebrates its 175th Anniversary
May 1, 2014, marks an important milestone in the Swiss watch industry. It is 175 years ago to the day that Patek Philippe �� perhaps the world’s most prestigious Swiss watch brand, and the last family-owned watch company in Geneva �� was founded.In a letter released to the press, Patek Philippe president Thierry Stern states:“Today, May 1, 2014, I am happy to announce the 175th anniversary of Patek Philippe, and the imminent launch of a special timeline at patek to showcase our history – the longest uninterrupted history of any watch brand. The timeline will be continuously enriched throughout the year, with fascinating stories from our past and present.“We believe that one of the secrets of our success has been our independence (we are the last family-owned watch manufacture in Geneva). Over the years, this freedom has allowed us to be truly creative, innovative, and pioneering – as demonstrated in our impressive repertoire of patents, our unique designs, a

A Week On The Wrist: The TAG Heuer Carrera 1887 41mm Chronograph
Few watches have as storied a history as the Carrera, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year alongside the Rolex Daytona. While the Carrera has definitely gone through many revisions over the years, the same DNA is still there from the beginning. We decided to take the current Carrera, housing TAG Heuer's Calibre 1887 movement, for a spin, and here we give you a look at the birth of Carrera, the intricacies of the Calibre 1887 movement, and what is was like to wear this modern Carrera for a week. The Birth Of The Carrera 1 OF 40 The Carrera 1887 The Heuer Carrera was first launched in 1963, though for decades it was believed to have not been unveiled until 1964. This was long before sport chronograph watches had any mainstream popularity in the United States (and it took the Viceroy Autavia to turn this around in 1972), and Heuer was mainly known as a producer of stopwatches for race car drivers. The Carrera was originally intended as a tool

Introducing: The Tudor Heritage Black Bay Black
You heard it here first, people – Tudor has released a new version of the Tudor Black Bay in BLACK. That's right, the fan favorite that was originally released in red and then blue is now available in black. 1 OF 3 The Black Bay, released for the first time in 2012, is one of the most popular dive watches of its kind. It was the winner of the Grand Prix d-Horlogerie de Genève in 2013. We would be lying if we said this wasn't one of our favorites, as seen by our review of the red version here. (With its black bezel with red triangle, the new 41 mm Black Bay Black is also similar in appearance to the unique Tudor Heritage Black Bay One, which will be auctioned at Only Watch 2015 on November 7th.)Tudor enthusiasts will be excited about this model as it gets back to the roots of the Tudor brand. Vintage lovers will also find it appealing for its retro design and clean lines. Its overall design recalls Tudor's first diver – the reference 7922 (la

Introducing: The New Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Reference 26574 (Details, Official Pricing)
Audemars Piguet has released a new take on one of its most popular model, the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. The latest iteration follows the release of the last QP wristwatch in 2012 with an upgraded and upsized movement, a slightly more complicated display, clearer dial, and larger case size. All details below. 1 OF 6 The Reference 26574.1220 comes in four different versions, two in stainless steel and two in rose gold with either a navy blue or silvered "Grande Tapisserie" dial. Due to the enlarged case size (now 41mm up from 39mm), the dial and its indications are more legible. Dial display includes: day, date, astronomical moon, month, leap year, and now the 52 weeks of the year displayed on an outer chapter ring via an third center-mounted hand. 2 OF 63 OF 6 4 OF 65 OF 6 The new automatic caliber 5134 movement, visible through the sapphire crystal case back, is slightly larger (to accommodate the new case) than the earlier caliber 2120

PAM372 on 6" wrist
I really love the PAM372 (and 127 for that matter) but I'm not sure I can pull off a 47mm watch. I have a 6 wrist so I'll definitely need an XS strap. Does anyone here have a 6 wrist and a 47mm PAM? If so, can you post some pictures? The only watch I have now is my DJII 116300 which, I believe, is 41mm. I can't imagine what a 47mm would look like.
