When Nivrel And Benzinger Get Together: German Watch Making Harmony
My fondness for German watch Making is often clear as I make mention to watch makers and designers whose work produces beautiful or utilitarian timepieces. Here we have a rare combined effort of two of Germany's most exclusive had dedicated watch makers. Nivrel is known for their well-made classically simplistic timepieces which perform their functions in an uncluttered and simple execution. Benzinger, using their watch tools and machines from days of old, bring a rare attention to tiny aesthetic detail on each visible part of the watch and movement. This technique called "decorating" or "gilding" uses fine machines and tools to carve patterns on to the surfaces of a watch.Jochen Benzinger performs what is a lost art; the idea of taking the time to decorate the fruit of one's labor. In America especially, during the 19th and early 20th centuries, furniture makers would decorate their creations with patterns, carvings, and delicate attention to detail. Part of the idea was to differenti

Very cool and very tempting!
Notwithstanding the carbon case I love it! Very tempted! Only 50 pieces.

B-1 versus Airwolf for 2nd Watch
I am getting an itch to add a new piece to the collection. I currently own an early version B-1 (non-super quartz) with black dial. I am contemplating adding either another B-1 Superquartz or Airwolf with a blue dial (2009 model with stripe texture on dial, not the radial pattern). I think most people seem to prefer the B-1 over the Airwolf, but I like the Airwolf and think it would add something a little different to my collection since I already own a B-1. I am also possibly considering an Aerospace, but I think I like the chronograph buttons on the case of the B-1 and Airwolf. I also love the turbine case back on the B-1 and Airwolf. But, I don't own a titanium watch and the Aerospace is starting to grow on me. I am curious as to what the forum members would do in my situation. Thanks in advance for the contribution! Guy

Finally decided I want my first PP and need advice
Hi Gents, I want to get a Patek and I will be getting from my friend that buys, sells and trades watches for a living. He sometimes trades me a piece for a piece or more, and often times I need add cash. My dilemma is I'm desiring a trade of several watches that allow me to avoid adding cash. My pieces I have to give up are 16520 patrizzi daytona on its bracelet(serviced last month by Rikki), a well faded 16753 head, an original parts 105.012 1965 Speedmaster, a 1939 original, in collectible condition Stowa b-uhr 55 mm navigation watch serviced impeccably. I own some other unremarkable pieces and not adding one Rolex because if i did, I'd have no more Rolex (so pretend I never mentioned that) With my offer of those above pieces, am I able to get into my first Patek? Is there any chance I can get a PP by subtraction of any piece in the list?I truly want one Patek in my collection that I can keep, and my only option I have to get one is by the suggested trade pieces listed.I'd really
