Now the brand has announced another horological world-first �� a case made of NTPT (North Thin Ply Technology) carbon, to be used in a new version of the brand’s RM011 Flyback Chronograph watch.Richard Mille has reached into the world of nautical technology for its newest material.

Hands-On: Comparing The New 39mm And Original 42mm Lambda Watches From NOMOS Glash��tte
This year NOMOS Glashütte announced that they were releasing a 39 mm version of the Lambda watch, which had originally launched in 2013 to acclaim but also a certain amount of concern from the NOMOS faithful (and if you’re a NOMOS owner you know what we mean – there is a level of emotional investment that NOMOS wearers feel with the company that’s pretty unusual for any luxury watch brand, and especially unusual at the big-bang-for-the-buck segment that NOMOS generally occupies). The great thing about NOMOS has always been that though they offer one of the best value propositions in the biz, that’s not why people buy them as a general rule – you buy them because all the parts (the in-house movement, great design, well-crafted sense of irony they project) all go to form a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. 1 OF 9 So when NOMOS put out a twenty thousand dollar gold watch with a pretty fancy-schmancy movement in it (a hand en

Moving a 114060 for 14060
Hey folks. Wanted to get some additional input before making a move in my collection. Thinking about selling my 114060 for a 14060. Has anyone made a similar move and regretted the shift? I think the 14060 May sit a bit better on the wrist for a suit at work, but would love to hear people's experiences with the two. Also, are you giving anything up on the trade in terms of functionality or have people found the 14060 to be as durable?
