Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight Extraordinary Series Watches For 2010
One can always expect beautiful artistic watch creations from Van Cleef & Arpels each year at SIHH. Not that any of the watches are affordable to the lay person. For examples these models are all in platinum. They are highly primed for visual appreciation. Of the 2010's new collections from Van Cleef & Arpels is the Midnight Extraordinary Series. I don't know exactly how models there are. but here are three from the main California Landscapes collection, and two below from the Midnight Extraordinary Japanese Lacquer series.I am most interested in the California Landscapes series, likely because I live in California. It is true that not all the scenes are at night (in contrast tot he "midnight" part of the name), but each are interesting feats of talent.

Tudor Black Bay Black 79220N Advice
I've been kicking around the idea of a new everyday watch which would fly under the radar at work. After watching the forums for the past few weeks I've been drawn more and more to the Black Bay Black ETA. I don't buy my watches as investments as I tend to enjoy all of them upon purchase.
