Baselworld 2015: Breguet Tradition Automatique Seconde R��trograde 7097
Among Breguet’s new releases at Baselworld 2015 is the Tradition Automatique Seconde R��trograde 7097, which makes use of the open design of the Tradition collection and includes a new retrograde seconds hand.In accordance with its name, the Tradition collection calls upon the heritage of the brand’s namesake, Abraham-Louis Breguet, the inventor of the tourbillon and the forefather of modern watchmaking. The first Tradition models were introduced in 2005. The key characteristic of the collection is that the workings of the mechanism are visible above the baseplate, without a full dial to obstruct the wearer’s view.The 7097 has a symmetrical layout, making it easy not only to read the time but also to observe the watch’s workings.

Looking Time in the Eye: Two New HYT Skull Watches
Skulls are a popular motif in luxury watches lately �� check out our list of some of the most notable ones �� and now HYT, one of the most unconventional watchmakers out there, gets in on the act in its own unique “hydromechanical horology” style with the release of the HYT Skull, available in two colorful versions.To create the new HYT Skull Green Eye and Red Eye models, HYT CEO Vincent Perriard gave his watchmakers a simple but challenging goal: make a timepiece that has a totally original look but still maintains the HYT watch brand’s signature style. “Simply taking an existing movement, giving it a vague skull shape and presenting it as an entirely new piece is not really our style,” Perriard says.?The watches, like previous HYT models, use a colored fluid �� flowing through a thin capillary and controlled by the expansion and contraction of two vertical bellows in the movement �� to keep track of the hours with the aid of a numbered scale around the dial.
Not only, IWC, but many others seem to embrace sustainable entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility.
The process of generation of the watchmaker to Schaffhausen, is something to be proud of. Not only, IWC, but many others seem to embrace sustainable entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility.

Taken a big plunge.
I promised myself when I went on the factory tour. No watches. Period.My collection was complete. Even did a thread on it.Hmm.Then I saw the 5159 in the room with the Grand Complications.Still, I am not getting another watch. Or trading any.Back home went to the AD to drop a bottle of wine off as a thank you...There in a display case, for the first time in my AD was the 5159. In white gold.So after much deliberation the Nautilus has gone in today as deposit against the 5159.Then I actually think the collection of pateks is as good as I can get it...5527: Yellow Gold. Simple watch and Pateks signature piece.5070: Rose Gold. Complicated watch.5159: white Gold. Grand complication.Just got to figure out where to the get the remaining money from now..
