Jean Dunand Palace Watch
It is cool, it is crazy, it is almost $420,000. "Piece Unique" watch maker Jean Dunand presents the Palace watch. A pretty incredible looking timepiece. In addition to my article over at Haute Living (see link bel0w), I have for you what I believe are the very first live photographs of the watch, that I was able to take. Enjoy itI certainly did.Read my Jean Dunand Palace watch article at Haute Living here.

Rotonde de Cartier Flying Tourbillon Skeleton Watch
The cool ways of the jazzy Rotonde de Cartier Flying Tourbillon Skeleton watch are discussed by me over at Haute Living. This cool cat of a watch really knowns how to impress technologically. Plus you have the fine Cartier name, so you know all the "know-nothings" out there will at least recognize the watch is worth noting. God it feels good to be a watch snob sometimes.See my article on the Cartier Rotonde Flying Tourbillon Skeleton watch here at Haute Living.

5960p
Hello gents. First time poster but long time lurker. I currently own a 5712r and a 5205r white dial and I am looking to add my third PP. I have a line to a brand new, unworn 5960P with blue dial. It is from 2012 so out of warranty but the stickers are still on the piece. Just curious as to what a good price would be to pay for this. Thanks in advance!

Tried on a few Patek Philppe Watches today.
Hi Guys,I tried on a few Patek Philppe watches when I was at the AD today. Wow they make a fine watch.It was not busy at all so the sales person was able to let me handle a 5101P 10 Day Tourbillon it was a bit out of my price range at 380K (CAD).I like the 5119 Calatrave model. It was going for only 18K. How much does this model sell for in the USA? Same price or much cheeper?Maybe someday for now I will stick with Rolex.Take Care,Eric

I can't recall the exact moment, but it was a combination of factors like wanting to have a meaningful and tangible heirloom to pass down to my (eventual) child that has been with me through the journey of life. On a more personal level, 2017 was an incredibly tough and challenging time. It was also the year I turned 35, and I wanted to get a watch that was tough, resilient and reliable; all attributes I strive to own in my personal and professional life. There's also the general functionality of a watch. Yes, a $50 digital timepiece gets the job done just the same, but heck, I earned this one! And when you
