Junghans Max Bill Watch Range Updated For 2015
The Max Bill by Junghans?range does something strange to my brain. When you encounter a Junghans Max Bill watch for the first time, you might not know what to say. But why? They are not bizarre like an MB&F, Panda-piloted twin-turbine; they don't perform?an optical illusion a la Ressence Type 3; they're not?even made of an unusual material like a Richard Mille or a Schofield Blacklamp. No, it's because it?feels like you've seen them?a hundred times before, only you're not quite sure. They are almost a blueprint - a model of restraint. It's so easy to "get it" immediately. This is because the Junghans Max Bill is, in my opinion, an example of excellent design.This year, Uhrenfabrik Junghans has released eight new configurations for the Junghans Max Bill range. There are two ladies watches in bright, bold colors (blue and red) as favored by the late Swiss Maestro after whom the range is named, and a third ladies watch with a black dial and leather-backed felt strap. There is a new ge

Behind The Curtain At watches-dealer: What A Watch Blogger Really Does
Ever wondered what it is like to work with Ariel Adams?I certainly did, and in the last four months, I have been treated to a spectacle beyond my comprehension, leading to a vague understanding that perhaps I have stumbled into a place that I was meant to be.Now, if you are a regular follower of watches-dealer (ABTW), I will not presume to know who you are. However, I can certainly say that you are most likely a watch lover of some kind. And if you have been a follower for a reasonable amount of time, then I can say that you are most likely aware of the current industry trends, and the latest watches that have been around.If what I have just said describes you, then let me tell you that this was the state I was in only four months ago. For more than two years prior, I had been an avid reader and follower of ABTW. I made it a point to log on to the website every day as part of my ritual, and the articles within have even prompted some satisfying watch purchases that would not have been

Speedy Pro in the 1969 movie Marooned
Hello fellow Speedy Lovers. I am currently watching the 1969 space flick, Marooned. I first saw it at a drive-in back in Dec '69 when I was six. I loved it then and still do. I found it recently on DVD. I love this screenshot towards the beginning of the movie when Astronaut Buzz Lloyd played by Gene Hackman begins his EVA and starts the chronograph on his Speedy. In the research I've done I believe it to be, as do others that it is a 145.012-67SP that in fact came from Omega in that configuration.

quite some Patek related threads going on
therefore this one :-)This is imo the most beautifull watch they made the last decade(s)It is just perfect. If you love chonographs this is the Holy Grail. Superb case, amazing dial, 42 mm so imo a great size. Not too small like most PP but than again not a silly 50 mm. Big or small wrist, 42 mm can be worn by anybody. And ofcourse let's not forget the wonderfull finished movement.So, to answer a question from another thread 'why does somebody buy a patek ? well, imo it it THE brand to get.15 or 20 years ago I started with 1 Rolex. The SS submariner. I saved a lot for that submariner because I still went to school, so I earned it with some jobs i did after school and during weekends.I think I saved almost 1 year LOLAnyway, years later i bought more watches , mostly sportswatches.I went to AD who sold Patek because I worshipped Patek but didn't feel old enough to buy one yet (I was around 25 years)I had the feeling a Patek was like a Jaguar, great but not when you're 25 :-)If I had t

Edmonton..coming for a visit, AD recommendation.
Hi..can anyone recommend places to check out Rolex's in Edmonton. I will be in Edmonton next weekend and since provincial sales tax are basically half of my provincial sales tax, I may just pull the trigger, as that equates to an instant 8% discount. I am looking for a Sub, Tudor BB, or potentially a Explorer! Thanks in advance for your replies.
