Hublot Is Official Watch Maker & Timekeeper Of Ferrari
Hublot announced today that they have partnered with Ferrari to become (among other things) their official watch maker and official time keeper. This means that during their agreement only Hublot can produce Ferrari branded timepieces. Hublot will also be a branded partner during Ferrari events (and likely the Ferrari name will be displayed at many Hublot events). They refer to this as a "comprehensive agreement covering all the activities of Ferrari and Hublot..." I know, a bit vague, but I think we get the idea.Ferrari has had an interesting history with watches. For a long time there were a range of lower-priced quartz watches. Then they worked with high-end brand Girard-Perregaux for some nice watches. After that they entered into what most people generally agree was a failed relationship with Panerai. After that Cabestan produced some very interesting highly limited Ferrari timepieces. There might be even more history that I am not considering. Starting today it is all about Ferra

RO - bracelet cleaning and maintenance
i note from some forums that dirt etc can be a key contributor to bracelet loosening over time rather than any tensile loads.that said i note that on the RO bracelet, the gaps between then links gather dust relatively easily.what do people find works well to get between the grooves?is pressurised air in a can spray safe? or a very light brush like the ones to apply shaving foam! a microfibre cloth doesnt really get in between properlyor are there proper watch cleaning kits i shd consider?i saw some ultrasonic cleaners (for bracelet only, not the head), but probably will stick to something simpler for now.thx againian

Vintage Omega Chrono - Time loss when running the chrono function
An old hand wound watch of mine, made in the late 1960's keeps great time (within 30 seconds per day) when being worn without the chrono being run, but according to it's new owner can lose a minute or more per hour when the chrono is being run constantly.Can I ask:-Is this to be expected? - I would never run a chronograph all the time, so haven't experienced this.Could running the chrono permanently be considered normal useCould the time loss be countered by frequent winding?Has the watch been damaged by running the chrono permanently?Thanks in advance.
