Debuting at Couture 2015: Porsche Design Chronotimer Series 1
Sports watches with titanium cases are now de rigeur for many luxury brands, but few may realize how revolutionary such a watch seemed back in 1980, when Porsche Design launched the very first such timepiece, the Titanium Chronograph. The new Porsche Design watch collection, called Chronotimer Series 1, which debuts at this week’s Couture watch and jewelry show in Las Vegas, hearkens back to that groundbreaking watch as well as the very first Porsche Design watch, 1972’s Chronograph I.The Porsche Design Chronotimer Series 1 represents a significant step for the brand, which was founded by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche (1935-2012), grandson of the car company founder and designer of the legendary Porsche 911. It is the first complete watch collection independently developed and manufactured by Porsche Design Timepieces AG, based in Solothurn, Switzerland.

Hublot Big Bang Atomic D-38 Watch Proves Your Manliness With Radioactive Uranium
Celebrating A Decade Of Big BangTen years ago in 2004, Hublot first released the Big Bang: a timepiece that would forever change the brand and would help put then owner (now Chairman) Jean-Claude Biver on the minds of the general public as well as arguably make him the most important person in the modern watch industry. Under Jean-Claude Biver, the design philosophy at Hublot has been "fusion," or rather the combination of a range of materials in their ever expanding catalog of watches.Over the years, Hublot has produced timepieces that have featured an array of rare or unique materials not often seen in watch making, such as tungsten or magnesium, and developed their own materials and alloys such as King Gold and Magic Gold. The pursuit of new and unique materials for horology is really the search for emotion and exclusivity. As one of the ultimate lifestyle brands, Hublot wanted to do something special and very difficult for the 10th anniversary of the Big Bang.Uranium As An Exclusiv

A plain brown box
That s the way as PP ships its products no matter if new or usedI ve experienced some very slight accuracy problems in case of dial up(couple of seconds nothing major)and had a minor issue with the security clasp so i ve dropped my watch at my AD on the 2nd of February(this year🤓).I ve received a mail early this week that my watch ready for collection ,I ve picked up yesterday.Actually i ve expected a simple regulation not more specially knowing the extended service time customers experienced recently.Instead of a regulation PP did a full service on the watch and their jewellers strenghten the clasp closing mechanism.Please note the red mark on the crown -any idea what s that?All in all I m satisfied with the result and considering the full overhaul I find the return time very reasonable,some clients are complaining here since issues and service time i think it s fair to add the favourable experiences also.Enjoy your Sunday!

Does rolex let me keep my old bezel?
Hi guys, im new at this forum and this will be my first post :) I have a question regarding rolex service and replacement. I have two rolex daytonas (116505 & 116503), both picked up at official rolex Butique. My solid rose gold 116505 i bought 6 years ago and i feel like now is the time to service the puppy. Im thinking to replace the bezel since i read rolex wont polish it. Now I'm wondering if rolex will let me keep my old bezel after they replace it. It is after all GOLD and I've read about rolex not returning old parts back after service. But whats the case if it is GOLD we are talking about? Ive seen second hand gold bezels go for at least 1800 dollars online so it doesn't make sense for me if they wont return it to me after replacing it. Thanks!
