Look out for our coverage at #DubaiWatchWeek.Dubai has a reputation as being a city of massive wealth with rapid economic growth after the oil boom. The fact that there hasn't been a major watch event of this scope in the city is actually somewhat surprising given the region's reputation for big spending and a love of all things flashy. Spending on luxury goods is increasing in the Middle East, and it will be interesting to see if the

De Bethune DB29 Maxichrono Tourbillon Watch With Central Chronograph
Since its establishment in 2002, the Swiss independent?De Bethune?has aspired to set itself?apart from the rest by masterfully balancing on the verge of traditional watchmaking and innovative design and engineering. That is something beautifully proven by their DB25LT Tourbillon or the DB28 Digitale?and so it is of little surprise that their latest model which they just announced at Baselworld 2014 is another bridge between the two controversial sides of watchmaking: traditional design elements and high-tech features. The DB29 Maxichrono Tourbillon combines both, but how it achieves that becomes obvious only after a closer look under its hood�C or dial, rather.Its name gives no room for misunderstandings: the DB29 Maxichrono Tourbillon packs an in-house chronograph movement and couples it with one of the most high-tech tourbillons that we have seen in a while.

1969 Speedy - Opinions Please
Whilst my Grail watch would be a 1967 Speedy, I'm also looking for a 1969 and yesterday came across this one and wanted your opinions please.It's post moon, just and hence has what is apparently a rarer case back as I've pictured below. The dealer tells me it's totally original and I have to say that under a loupe it does look very convincing although I've a feeling the hands may have been relumed or changed but a long time ago.I'm also confused as to whether or not it should have the dot above to 90 or not? Am I right in thinking that this was a transitional year for that?I'd really appreciate your thoughts, criticisms and observations before I go and spend $6,000.Thanks.2016-01-26 16.11.28 (2).jpgP1020028.jpg
