EMILE CHOURIET Classic Wisdom
Emile Chouriet �C Classic WisdomAs the great Greek philosopher Socrates (470BC-399BC) said: "wisdom begins in wonder." There's wonder in everything around us that gives us joy. Love, nature and life are rife with wonder. Is there anything more amazing than wisdom and wonder?Emile Chouriet has put its almost magical values into its Classic Wisdom. A wavy line splits the anthracite grey dial in two making it look like two open wings. The line divides the dial into a classic, smooth and shiny sunburst side and a matt, textured and "raw" side. It's a sandy beach lapping a pebble beach dotted with time markers beneath the hands.The 40mm steel watch's self-winding calibre brings to life the hours, minutes, seconds and date.From 1000 CHFBy Sharmila Bertinemile-chouriet.ch

The Hublot Atelier: The Hublot for when your other Hublot is in the Shop.
One of the most traumatic and stressful events the owner of a nice watch can experience is the painful process of sending your precious watch off into the unchartered vagaries and perilous possibilities of a factory service. Hublot's trying to ease the pain a little.The lengthy and costly factory service is one of the joys of owning a mechanical watch, and people deal with it in various ways. Some weep every time they glance at their unadorned wrist, others use it as an opportunity to buy a replacement watch.?Servicing also seems to be the point that most strains the relationship between brand and loyal customer: the consumer's lack of control over the process, and over their own watch can lead to tension, and often angry posts on the internet, very easily.? 2 OF 2 Hublot, who, aside from doing 'fusion' very well, also do a very good job at building and maintaining communities, have recognised this. In a very clever move, they have announced an "Atelier Watch," the horolo

Patek 5990 - long term prospect?
Have just been offered a 5990 from the London Salon.Personally, it's been something I have been chasing since it was released (huge fan of grey dials + travel time dials), and I am now in a position to buy it. On the precipice of picking it up tomorrow though, I've been thinking - I am dropping ?40k (actually ?33.5 after tax refund) on a steel watch (even though its a Nautilus with a complication).What's everyone opinion on whether this watch will hold its value/aura over time? It may be a sought-after piece now, but I'm thinking 10-15 years ahead.Any input on this will be much appreciated.

Incoming & A Serious First World Problem
Okay, so the Rolex that first brought me to the brand was not the first Rolex that I ended up buying. I was seeking a Sub ND but found and very much liked a BLNR. Like many a first-time buyer, I allowed myself to get distracted. Long story short, the BLNR did not suit me well (the PCLs scratched easily and the extra pop worked better as an idea in the showroom than as a daily wearer in my everyday casual life) and I sold it a few months after buying it.I was going to have that Sub ND! But I couldn't find one easily, so I decided to wait for my AD to get one while biding my time by buying what I at first considered to be a cheaper alternative. Damn, that cheaper alternative ended up suiting me so very well that when I finally did get the Sub ND (today!!) and returned home, I found myself realizing just how much I LOVE this damned cheaper alternative...this Pelagos in-house...Of course, I will be taking those stickers and bezel protector off soon, I just know it. But this Pelagos ended
