Citizen Campanola Tonneau Perpetual Calendar On eBay: Ends Nov-18-07 19:00:00 PST
It is easy to love and admire Citizen watch company for all their other ventures, but the Campanola line is really the top of Citizen's game. A watch that combines the best computerized quartz movement Citizen can offer (hand assembled by the way), with highest level of watch craftsmanship available in Japan, results in a line of watches each stunning in their own way. None of the Campanola watches resemble anything out there, and Citizen has achieved the rare feat of being able to produce something unique yet classic looking at the same time.Here we have a Citizen Campanola Perpetual Calendar with the tonneau-shaped case. The tonneau shape is common among high luxury watches for the presence it makes along with the surface area within the case to house extra complications. Looking inside the face of this watch you see a dazzling array of dials and hands, each perfectly polished. I have mentioned in other articles and the review of the Citizen Campanola Grand Complication that I own, t

Inside The Manufacture: With Jaeger-LeCoultre In Switzerland, Pt. 2: Secrets Of The Atmos Clock
The Atmos clock is one of the essential timepieces made by Jaeger-LeCoultre, and, at least among horological enthusiasts, it's also probably the single best-known clock in the world. The first prototype was built in 1928, by an engineer named Jean-Léon Reutter (a resident of Neûchatel). The Atmos was not the first clock to be wound by changes in the atmosphere around it; clocks powered by temperature or air pressure changes go back to the 17th century, when the very first known was invented by Cornelius Drebbel. (Drebbel, an impressive polymath, is remembered today for inventing the first navigable submarine, but he also invented an early working air conditioner, different types of thermometers, one of the first compound microscopes, and, of all things, a chicken egg incubator.) The oldest pre-Atmos clock still in existence is the so-called Beverly Clock, which has been running since 1864 more or less continuously without ever having been wound manually. 1 OF 6

Omega Movements
Hey all,I just wanted to do a comparison of bph from different Omega Cal.'s and Rolex Cal.'s to cost (purchase and maintenance) over time. When I've gone to Omega's web page, I've seen movements other than the 2500 and 8500, that I'm not familiar with. Omega didn't list each movement's bph that I saw either. Is there a reference that anyone knows of that lists Omega Cal.'s and their respective bph's, service intervals, service costs? TIA

Bronzo question
Hey guys,New collector here. My buddy is offering me his PAM382 for $19k without box and papers. It also has an aftermarket strap.I am 100% sure it is real. My friend lost the box, papers, and OEM strap in a recent cross-country move (he is very unhappy about it!), and is now looking to downsize his collection. Would any of you take the deal?

Triplock water resistance question.....
Hello everyone here at TRF! I had a Rolex water resistance question I wanted to get your thoughts on.I have always been believed that models with the Triplock crown system were water resistant to a minimum of 300m (i.e. submariner, SeaDweller, etc). Conversely, those with a Twinlock come with 100m water resistance (DateJust, Oyster, Milgauss, etc)Assuming that is true (and that may be an erroneous assumption on my part), why does the Yacht-Master....which has a TripLock crown come with only 100m of water resistance?Anyway, just curious. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
