New for 2013: Richard Mille RM 036 Tourbillon G-Sensor Jean Todt
Auto racing enthusiast Richard Mille has long been inspired by cars and motorsports in the designs for his eponymous watch brand, but the new RM 036 Tourbillon G-Sensor Jean Todt, which makes its official debut at next month’s SIHH watch fair in Geneva, is the first to include a complication dedicated to road safety.Following in the footsteps �� or the tire treads, if you will �� of previous racing-inspired pieces like the Felipe Massa and Le Mans limited editions, the new watch features a tourbillon movement, made entirely of grade-5 titanium and ARCAP on a carbon nanofiber baseplate, inside an ergonomically crafted tonneau case made of titanium. The movement, Caliber RM 036, is manually wound and has a power reserve of 70 hours. Like other Richard Mille movements, it has a a free-sprung balance with variable inertia; a fast-rotating barrel; and a “function selector” reminiscent of a car’s gearbox to select the hand-setting mode with the push of a button in the c

Photo Report: Inside Panerai's Flagship Boutique In Florence
There are a few stores around the world that any watch lover must make a point of visiting – Panerai's flagship in Florence is certainly one of them.

Going to the grey side...
I've been thinking about getting a grey side of the moon I've tried it at AD once and fits well despite the 44+ mm size. Like to ask anyone here that owns one? No any thoughts or opinion about it? Much appreciate it. Thanks.

My College Graduation Present
...after 20 years! I guess it is never too late. I have had a couple of modern iterations of this iconic model (SUBC and LV); but the first one I ever saw in the metal, and that introduced me to the world of Rolex was the 16610, in the mid 90s. Well, as a college student I heard stories of kids getting their nice timepieces as graduation presents, and I couldn't help but to think that I might, just might, be one of those lucky ones; however, my parents are from a different train of thought; and I actually admire and respect that. They worked very hard, saved and accomplished all they ever dreamed for their family...so, the graduation date came, and as I was getting ready for the ceremony, both of them came into my room and handed me a little box. Inside there was a very discreet, yet elegant, gold chain, with a plaque. On the back of this plaque there was a writing that said A Day To Remember. Well, indeed it was! Completely forgot about that Rolex Sub that I was desperate to have.
