Richard Mille’s New Tourbillon and Automatic
You may want to head back to school for a Ph.D in material science before reading any further. Describing his new Aerodyne Tourbillon, Richard Mille says “Orthorhombic titanium aluminides are new group of alloys, developed from the main class of titanium aluminides, which possess a specific crystalline molecular structure ordered on the orthorhombic phase of Ti2AlNb. Its use within a honeycombed geometrical pattern was originally the subject of research by NASA for application as a core material of supersonic aircraft wings, where resistance to extremely high temperatures and torsion is paramount…”Mille continues “The alloy in this honeycombed form has unparalleled stiffness, a low thermal expansion coefficient and exceptional torsion resistance. The actual shape of the baseplate itself as seen from the dial side resembles the trench-like V-shaped profile of a flying wing aircraft where the wing tips are positioned higher than the central body of the aircraft it

Sinn Chronograph Tachymeter Limited Edition Watch
German Sinn timepieces are really hard for us tool watch lovers to resist. Often stalwart in their new products, over the last few years they have been a bit more trendy and playful.

Trying on GMT
Yesterday I tried on a GMT for the first time. I am actually interested in a Sub date, but I understood the case of the GMT is the same, so at least I got an idea of the feel of the watch. I notice the lug to lug measure might be a bit too long for me. Or will it be fine once the strap is adjusted to my wrist?Verzonden vanaf mijn iPad met Tapatalk

Rolex hard at work!
I'm very torn for my next upcoming purchase, hoping my fellow Rolex fans can help me out! I work in real estate development and although I'm in more of a managerial position these days there's nothing like jumping in the hole yourself and getting your hands dirty Aesthetically I definitely prefer a GMT of some sort but I have become enamoured with the ruggedness of the Explorer II. I worry that the GMT isn't made for those environments, I would love to see your Rolex in the craziest situations you have put them through, let's see those pics!!!
