Doxa, the Swiss watch company that introduced the world to the first orange-dialed divers watch, is auctioning five limited-edition models of its Doxa Sub 1200T, each one personally worn by diving legend Jean-Michel Cousteau.

Introducing: The Montblanc Collection Villeret Tourbillon Cylindrique Pocket Watch 110 Years Edition, And Navigator Unique Piece Nautical Clock
The navigation theme has been a pretty prominent one in Montblanc’s recent production – probably most visibly, in the watches named for the famous Portuguese explorer, Vasco da Gama – but this year Montblanc’s pretty much pulled out all the stops in making something that speaks both to the history of marine chronometers, as well as showcasing the artisanal side of watchmaking in the Montblanc portfolio as it exists at the Minerva movement manufacture (the counterpart to the somewhat larger scale production facility that Montblanc maintains in Le Locle).  The Montblanc Collection Tourbillon Cylindrique Pocket Watch 110 Years Edition (with which Montblanc challenges Audemars Piguet for Brand That Gives The Longest Names To Its Watches) and the Montblanc Collection Tourbillon Cylindrique Pocket Watch 110 Years Edition Unique Piece (ditto) are triple time zone, world-time tourbillon pocket watches of really incredible beauty; the latter is paired with a pretty

New brand...
Today I visited my Rolex AD in Melbourne to check on a few possibilities for my collection... only to be told that the wait for a Daytona C was five years... and eighteen months for a DSSD Deep Blue... so I took a stroll to their sister shop down the road a little and after a lovely chat (and a glass of champagne) I purchased this... first of a new brand for me...

Just lost my 2nd Rolex
Thought I'd share the news...1st Rolex I lost was my BLNR to my first Daughter. And now I just lost my 114060 to the new addition. Welcoming our 2nd daughter to the family... It's been around the world with me, doing anything and everything, and just finished its most important task to date of timing contractions.
