Raymond Weil Unveils Special Edition Nabucco Inspired by Gibson Guitars
Earlier this year, Swiss watch manufacturer Raymond Weil and Gibson Brands, an American manufacturer of guitars and other instruments, announced their plans to work together to create a special Nabucco timepiece, specifically inspired by the famous self-tuning Gibson SG Standard guitar. Here’s a look at the watch that resulted.The special-edition Raymond Weil Nabucco timepiece has four key design elements that signify it as a Gibson Special Edition. First, the iconic Gibson logo is located just above the Raymond Weil plaque in the center of the dial, replacing the standard applied 12 o’clock hour marker. The second design element is the six grooves that encircle the edges of the black galvanic dial, symbolizing the strings of a Gibson SG Standard guitar. The third is the Gibson logo incorporated into the custom oscillating weight that is visible through the clear sapphire caseback.? Finally, there are the two prominent screws that attach the Raymond Weil logo, which are sim

In house or not?
Is a watch having in house movement a plus, a must or you don't care?Some of the most seemed and valuable watches don't have in house movements, most highly collectable Pams don't and just have ETA, the AP Jumbo has a JLC base movement, the Patek 5970 and 5070 have Lemania base movements, it doesn't mean that in house the movement will be better, some great watches have non in house movements.So for me if a watch's movement is not in house it's absolutely not a deal breaker, but I do prefer one which does have it as for me an in-house movement means that the manufacture has reached a certain level in the horological art and is capable of making their own watches from A to Z without any outside help.I know that usually when people start to be interested in watches if they go for pieces 5K and up it's obligatory to have the in house movement, but more experienced watch lovers understand that it's just a part of the process and that even if the brands get movements from other companies th

Was Jeremy Clarkson right?
Rolex has always been on the top of my list. I had a Panerai phase (still love them). I respect and hope to someday own one of the Haute Horlogerie brands; AP, PP, VC, Breguet, Blancain, Glashutte Original and the list goes on and on. However, Rolex has always been number one. Omega on the other hand wasn't even in my top ten list. I have previously owned a SMP 2254 and a Speedmaster Auto and had loved them, but Rolex to me was in another league. I have a trip coming up that is going to be filled with activities, from skiing to swimming (Dubai) and everything in between. Not wanting to take my Daytona and not being able to afford a Sub, I bought myself a black SMP 300 Quartz. Today, for the third time in a row, I wear my Daytona and take it off within an hour. I'm comparing a 94' rattly 16520 to a BNIB Omega but still, the Seamaster feels so much better. The bracelet puts Rolex to shame and the hards are amazing. I still love Rolex but I have grown a lot of respect towards Omega.
