The central retrograde minute display may grab your attention, but it is only the appetizer. The unique jump hour display consists of a 12-link chain that looks like a tank track, powered by its own barrel. As they say on the late night commercials… but wait, there’s more. The movement of the jump-hour chain causes the entire escapement assembly to rotate 60o four times each day. With each new hour, the escapement assumes a new position. When it is time for the hour to change, the new digit takes four seconds to move into place. The designers purposely selected a “slow-motion” change, because an instantaneous change could generate shocks that might negatively affect the movement.The retail price is $200,000 in rose gold, and $219,000 in white gold.

Do all APs wind the same?
Ok...dumb question I know.Watches with the 3120 movement are set by turning the crown counter clockwise...I.e. opposite to most modern day men's Rolex but wound clockwise...Takes a bit of getting used to.Is the setting / winding convention the same for other AP movements?

Omega Green Seamaster DE VILLE 1342
Couldn't resist this green gold filled 'redial'. Perfectly restored. Fun to wear. But not a collector's item.

Just received my first Panerai
I just traded for and received my first ever Panerai that my son is now wearing. A Luminox Daylight Pam 00356 Chronograph. It got my attention as probably, to me, the nicest Panerai I had seen yet. The strap quick change and date quick change really do work nice. Excellent watch.
