Christophe & Co. Armill Is $150,000 Self-Powering Smart Bracelet Designed By Pininfarina With Upgradeable Tech
The smart watch and wearables segment is evolving quickly and has us extremely curious to know how the luxury industry will find a space within an area they historically have very little experience - digital technology. New brand Christophe & Co. began with a very simple premise - to create an ultra high-end wearable that incorporated elements of high tech while focusing on exclusivity as a jewelry product for men. The Christophe & Co. Armill is not a watch - which leaves timepiece lovers free to wear their timepieces along side their often one-of-a-kind Christophe & Co. smart bracelet. The debut Christophe & Co. Armill models will be the "entry-level" Virtus, then Orion, and topped off with the ultra ritzy Apollo.I'll get to the technology part in a moment, but I do want to say that Christophe & Co. designed these wearables to incorporate small rotors that charge their batteries like automatic or auto-quartz watches generate power via the motion of one's wrist.

Charlie Sheen & Father Debut In Patek Philippe Watch Ad
April 1st, 2011 Switzerland. Historic and prestigious Swiss watch brand Patek Philippe has just unveiled a new member of their popular "father and son" watch ads. The advertising campaign that seeks to promote the values parents bestow upon their children and the longevity of Patek Philippe timepieces makes a bold new statement on a previously unexplored area of the brand's personality. The new ad features father Martin Sheen with son Charlie Sheen - both known watch lovers. It has further come to my attention that Charlie Sheen has prominently displayed in the media as of late.I am here with Patek Philippe President Thierry Stern to discuss this interesting new branding direction for Patek Philippe.Ariel Adams: Mr. Stern, thank you so much for talking with me today about this new ad. It represents a very different approach for the brand. What is the intent behind it?Thierry Stern: Your questions are appreciated. Patek Philippe has traditionally been a brand with an excellent reputatio

Question about RO Dual Time/Regular
Hi Everyone!So I've been researching and am set on adding a RO to my collection, but in hunting for the right one, I've ended up with a few questions that I haven't been able to find the answers for.While I know RO dual time models retail for 22,000, I was initially shocked to find that ones in excellent used condition sell here (and elsewhere) for anywhere between 11.5-13k (even found one at 9000, which may have been too good to be true) while I've seen regular RO (3120 Calibers) sell for 12,000 around the forum as well. Is there a reason for this other than the fact that the Dual Time uses a JLC movement and a different caseback while 15450/15400 are fully in-house? I was a bit surprised to find that the more complicated pre-loved Dual Times sold around the same price as 15400/15450s
