Cartier Cl�� de Cartier Automatic Skeleton (Updated with Live Photo)
At SIHH 2015, Cartier’s headliner launch was the Cl�� de Cartier collection, an entirely new family of timepieces whose case design incorporated a key-operated winding crown (Cl�� is French for “key”). Today at SIHH 2016, Cartier unveiled the first skeletonized watch in that collection, which also features Cartier’s first-ever skeletonized automatic movement made in-house.The movement in the Cartier Cl�� de Cartier Automatic Skeleton (price to be revealed at SIHH) is Cartier’s brand-new Caliber 9612 MC, whose openworked architecture showcases bridges in the shape of Roman numerals III, VI, IX, and XII (marking the 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock hour positions, respectively) �� a motif that Cartier has used previously in skeletonized versions of its Santos-Dumont, Tank MC, and Astrotourbillon Skeleton watches, the last utilizing only the VI and XII numerals. The difference here is that the movement is self-winding rather than manual-winding. Cartier’s watch

Which Model is this?
Guys, has anyone seen this model before, it has a calibre 2352 JLC I think? As you'll see the movement certainly looks genuine. . but I've never seen a royal oak based model with round bezel pins instead of screwsany thoughts on its origins or history?

Should Omega do a Shuttle Patch Series?
I visited Kennedy Space Center a couple of weeks ago and was impressed by the new Shuttle display. If you are in Florida this is a must-see. Anyway, given my recent obsession for Speedmaster patch models, I realized there hasn't been a new series in quite a while. So why not a Space Shuttle patch series - not all 135 missions of course - maybe one for each shuttle built. What do you think?I would love to see a STS-1 patch Speedy.

New incoming
Hi folks,Posted about a week or so ago about the Aquanaut seducing me into buying her while I was out shopping for my Rolex GMT BLNR. Well, I've nearly got her - it has been one of the longest weeks of my life. I bought the watch last week but can only collect it when I leave the country since I bought it duty free. I'm leaving tomorrow! But I visited it yesterday to get it sized and get a pic (obviously). Erred slightly on the large side when it came to sizing. I'm keen to wear it a bit and see how it feels and then finetune the last segment or two myself. Funny story: I strap it on to try and and look at the face - only to see the watch running and the date 'stuck' halfway in the date window! My mind went to all the sticky date window threads! I looked a bit harder and noticed the time was at 12:01 - so just changing over. Happily by 12:03 the change was done and the date was as it should be. Paranoid much! I am spending too much time here. LOLMore pics to follow once I officially ha
