In-Depth: Le Garde Temps �C Naissance D'Une Montre, Greubel Forsey's Mission To Protect Tradi
What would happen if traditional watchmaking techniques died out? For Stephen Forsey and Robert Greubel, this thought was anathema. Their namesake company, Gruebel Forsey, relies on these very techniques to produce timepieces that have become lore among modern collectors. If these techniques die out, then their future, and the future of other high-end independents dies out too. So, to prolong these traditions, they joined forces with Philippe Dufour to create an incubator program for fully hand-crafted watchmaking called Naissance d’une Montre. One watchmaker was selected to be the recipient of what is arguably the finest collective of horological knowledge in existence, endowing him with the skills needed to create a watch, by hand, completely from scratch. 2 OF 6 Stephen Forsey, one half of the duo behind Greubel Forsey, describes the importance of safeguarding traditional watchmaking skills: Earlier this year, I had the chance to speak with Stephen Forsey a

Patek is delivering the 5650G to ADs in the US... This one was delivered and sold.I'm amazed at the speed these watches have turned up at ADs. Anyone else seen this watch yet in the wild?

Watch Collection with 1 Picture Please
How about a picture of your watch collection in 1 picture with how you picked your collection. I will startPatek 5711 - For causal daily wear. The most comfortable watch I have ever worn. Never gets attention and does not look like an expensive watch to most, but amazing craftsmanship. You can wear this anywhere. Patek 5726 - For causal daily wear when I really need to know the date. The composite strap is my favorite. Can wear it out to any event or with a suit. The stitching on the composite strap makes it seem more formal. I don't think I would ever put this on a leather strap for very long.Patek 5125 - For formal wear with a classic look. I love the vintage classic look of this watch. The cream dial with rose gold and a hint of blue around the moon warms my heart. I feel very luck to own this piece Patek 5036 - Love the feel of a gold watch and bracelet but a bit blingy and old school. This always reminds me of my perception of an old mans watch and I love it. This is the w

A laugh today...
I was talking with a colleague at work and complimented him on a bright new rubber strap on his smart watch (cause most wrists are naked). He complained that it cost him a hundred bucks because the original broke. I said, Well that's less than this one! and flashed my BLNR. He replied, You should have seen my ex-girlfriend's watch. Her family are jewelers and she has a seven THOUSAND dollar ROLEX! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Townsend Bell��s 2014 Rolex 24 Daytona was stolen.
He posted on Twitter last night that someone broke into his house and stole his 2014 Daytona 24 winners watch and several Indy 500 rings while he was at the 24 Hours of Daytona race. I know these don't come up that often, especially the legit ones. So if anyone sees one on the market and it is a 2014 i am sure Townsend would like to know about it, just in case.
