Apple Watch Sales Begin In Switzerland, The Heart Of Luxury Watchmaking
On June 26, 2015, the Apple Watch has been made available in seven new markets including, you guessed it, watchmaking country, Switzerland. It is fresh news, but it also gives us a chance to discuss the interesting Swiss trademark issue that potentially related to the introduction of the?Apple Watch in Switzerland. There are conflicting reports about the precise nature of the issue but if some news reports were true then Apple has to deal with a potentially conflicting and per-existing "Apple Watch" trademark in Switzerland. Some guessed that this was expected to be a?considerable obstacle for Apple to overcome before a possible launch?of the Watch in the country. We also take a quick look?at?how the Apple Watch was?received in the home of horology, and the impact it has?already had?on it.The Apple Watch was first made available as much?as two months ago, on April 24th �C but, ironically, Switzerland was not?among the nine?countries that were given access to the first shipments.

Parmigiani Bugatti Tourbillon Watch + Bugatti Galibier 16C Car
It was years ago now - more than 10- when I first saw what was to become this Bugatti Galibier 16C Concept car. It was the Bugatti EB 218, a concept that shared the same fastback shape and uber luxury stance as this close to production Bugatti Galibier 16C automotive. Perhaps the EB 218 was a bit more attractive, but certainly not as advanced. Car lovers have known for a while now that Bugatti was to follow up its money losing 16/4 Veyron over a million dollar car, with other vehicles. Little is known about the details of this Bugatti Galibier but it will not be the significantly lower priced sports car we are looking forward to. It is an all new sedan, also with a 16 cylinder 8 liter engine and a two-stage supercharger. What is interesting about the engine is that it is made to be a Flex Fuel motor. Meaning it can accept standard gasoline as well as ethanol. No, it is not being marketed by GM. The car also features a substantial amount of carbon fiber as well as the large polished alu

To celebrate the mark's 140th anniversary, the Piaget has gone for the biggest record of all and released the Altiplano 900P, the world's thinnest mechanical watch. It has taken some serious technological breakthroughs to get to a staggering 3.65mm thin and the result is a surprisingly wearable watch. Here we have an exclusive first look at this amazing watch, complete with live photos and pricing.While Piaget holds many of the ultra-thin records, the overall thinnest mechanical watch title was previously held by Jaeger-LeCoultre for the Master Ultra-Thin Jubilee, which comes in at 4.05mm. But now, thinner by a full .4mm, the Altiplano 900P has climbed on top. Normally here we'd start talking about the thin movement and how i
