Interview: A Conversation On Provocation And Design Polarization With Roger Dubuis CEO Jean-Marc Pon
There are two main similarities between a Lamborghini Veneno Roadster and?the watches of Roger Dubuis.?Both take an extreme approach to design relative to their respective industries. And inside of both are skillfully crafted engines, the former automotive and the latter horological. This is not so much of a paradox for the Veneno, but more so for modern Roger Dubuis watches?because (to wristwatch purists)?they?flout most of the classical design concepts generally associated?with?beautifully-made?in-house movements. In a conversation with Roger Dubuis CEO Jean-Marc Pontroue,?he explained how the perceived incongruence between polarizing designs?and technical merit can actually work in a company's favor.HODINKEE: Why does Roger Dubuis place such a great emphasis?on producing in-house movements?when the designs are so extravagant? There are a number of brands that get away with focusing almost solely on external aesthetics, without paying very much attention to the movement.Jean-Marc Pon

First time AP owner with some questions.
I picked up a 15400 about 2 weeks ago off of a member here and and it's an amazing watch but i can't find an answer to two questions i have about noises it making. 1. When moved around it sounds like it is making a noise as if it is winding, I figured that was normal as you can see inside the caseback but have never noticed it on any of my rolex watches. 2. When moved around with a little more force as if jogging or reaching fast for something it makes a different noise as if something is loose and shaking around. It also runs about +5-+6 seconds fast a day but that is not a problem for me. I'm hoping they are just normal sounds as i do not want to send it in to get warranty work already. Thanks for any advice.

The DeepSea...Is anyone else surprised...???
Now please don't get me wrong...I LOVE the DeepSea...It's the only Rolex I now own and I wear it all day, everyday with more pleasure then I probably deserve...But it will be 10 years this spring since the model was released and I am shocked that Rolex has let the run go on so long...I mean let's face it, there are a great many people who dislike the 116660...It's too thick, too heavy, too much writing, etc, etc,etc... And I have yet to see a watch that tends to polarize people more...In the end Rolex must be making their monies worth on the watch or they would have pulled it from production years ago...Right...Or does Rolex leave it in their line because of it's technological advancements...I guess we'll never know...
