Romain Jerome Limited Editions Mark 100-Year Anniversary of the Titanic
One hundred years ago this month, the RMS Titanic set off on its legendary, ill-fated voyage across the Atlantic. And while moviegoers across the world file into theaters this week to view the 3-D re-release of James Cameron’s 1997 smash-hit film Titanic, which dramatically portrays the events on that legendary vessel in April 1912, Swiss watchmaker Romain Jerome offers timepiece aficionados an opportunity to make a more personal connection with one of the 20th Century’s greatest milestones, with two limited-edition anniversary wristwatches commemorating it.The two new models, each limited to 100 pieces, are the Steampunk Auto 100th Anniversary and Steampunk Chrono 100th Anniversary. Each is housed in a 50-mm-diameter case featuring the distinctively rough, raw finishes that are a hallmark of the brand’s very first collection, also inspired by the Titanic, called Titanic-DNA.Both of the Steampunk models feature a bezel of oxidized and stabilized steel, created by a fu

Event Recap: Blancpain Watches At Tourbillon Store In San Francisco
The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is an iconic watch. Don't believe me? Well, do a little research on Google and you should quickly find three key attributes justifying the icon status: 1) it's one of the original dive watches that one could take 100s of meters under water without fear of damage; 2) it's the first watch to include a unidirectional rotating bezel that allows quick timing of your dive; and 3) it's one of the first watches to include enough luminescent material on its dial and bezel to make it readable at diving depths or in murky waters.It is therefore not surprising that Blancpain owns some of the original patents around diving watches, and famous pioneer divers, such as Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his team, wore Blancpain when they helped popularize the sport in the ?early 1950's.However, while innovation alone would assure Blancpain its place in the annals of watchmaking, after all, dive watches are some of the most popular models (even today, when most dive watches hardly se

AP extra 3 year question
Hi gents,Just a quick queation with regards to the Extra 3 year guarantee that you get upon registering your watch on AP website.Does anyone know exactly how this system works? - when is the 3 year warranty effective from? Say, you've purchased your watch today 6th september 2013. The standard guarantee covers it until 6th september 2014. So if you register for your 3 year warranty when your standard warranty runs out, will your extra warranty cover you until 6th september 2017? So my real question is, does it matter when you register your watch? What happens if you register after your standard warranty runs out?Also any cons for opting in for extra 3 year warranty? (I.e when reselling etc)Regards
