Breaking the Mold: 5 Offbeat Watches from Baselworld
Contrary to popular belief, Baselworld is not just a steady stream of tourbillons, chronographs, and watches that are mostly black. The show does play host to some individualists who create watches that are outside the mainstream. Some are newcomers, and some return year after year, reliably delighting us with their unique vision. We take a look at a few of their creations.One of our favorite newcomers this year is Breva. The brand's watch is the G��nie 01, a stylish and original mechanical mini-weather station for the wrist.Breva was founded by a young entrepreneur named Vincent Dupontreu��. Born near Paris in 1977, at age 11 he was selling bracelets at the beach, and at 13, skateboard ramps. At 22, he launched an eponymous fashion brand which he sold seven years later. After he earned an MBA in Switzerland and ran an art gallery, his desire to own a unique timepiece, and his inability to find just the right one, led him to launch his own watch brand. The brand's name was inspired by a

Omega Service Question
I just purchased a new PO from an AD. The watch is running +4.5sec /day which as you all know is within COSC specs. If I have my local watch maker regulate it, the warranty will be voided. I contacted my local Omega AD about getting it regulated and their reply was : As an Authorized Dealer of Omega, we can send your Planet Ocean in to Omega for a service under warranty. Omega does not authorize any in-house watch makers for warranty service. There will be no charge, I will however need the warranty card and it will take 6-8 weeks to complete. The Planet Ocean is Chronometer Certified and this means that the time keeping needs to fall within a specific daily rate. That rate is -4 seconds to +6 seconds a day. This means that your timepiece is working within the Chronometer Certified range so I cannot guarantee that sending it in to Omega for regulation will change your daily rate significantly.Does anyone here have experience sending a watch to Omega for regulating? I know the 850

Thread: I tried on the Blue Ti PO three hander today...
It was the first one ever that the Omega boutique in Crown Casino have got in. it was the one with the Ti bracelet.some observations:1. size perception - this watch looks bigger than the 45.5mm in black ceramic, must be due to the black/dark grey, makes it look visually smaller. but both look much better than the 42mm versions - they look and wear really small compared to the 2500 42's2. thickness - quite thick, but not massively so. i expect the Chrono to be much thicker, which could be an issue for me potentially. i feel the thickness of this three-hander is about as thick as most people would want/accept as a balance on the wrist3. the watch is incredibly light. i was surprised just how light it is. it's so light that some might think its too light, almost toy-like.. but on the other hand its a key unique feature for those that like larger watches but not the added weight as its non-Ti 45.5mm siblings are quite hefty4. the Titanium colour - is superb, as reported looks just like sta

Osaka Recommendation?
Will be going to Osaka in the next few weeks, and obviously, some time will have to be spent on watch hunting. Does anyone know any good shops for Patek and AP? Any info would be appreciated.Thanks
