Kamawatch 'Hypercolor' Fashion Timepieces Change Color With Temperature
Okay, so this is fun. Do you remember those color changing shirts from the 1980s? Now they have watch versions of that by Kamawatch. I know that the watch industry is slow to respond, but did it really require 30 years for this relatively basic chromatic pigment technology to find its way into fashion watches? I suppose so. There was once the Generra Hypercolor shirts and other apparel, and now we have the Kamawatch fashion timepieces available in a range of colors which change their hue at 31 degrees Celsius.Let's be clear that Kamawatches are not luxury products. These are simply plastic quartz fashion watches. Kamawatch doesn't even go so far as to offer technical specs on their website - but we asked, and the watches are 40mm wide, produced from polycarbonate with thermic technology paint.

This week will be dedicated to watches with complications. We start big with the Patek Philippe reference 1526, the first perpetual calendar produced in series, mostly during the 1940s.

Finally, we've got a couple of examples of everyone's favorit complication, the chronograph, from a Heuer Carrera to a blue Hamilton Chrono-Matic. This is your Bring A Loupe for April 8, 2016. A Patek Philippe Reference 1526 �C A Legendary Perpetual Calendar With Moon Phase 1 OF 9 The 1526 is one of Patek Philippe's most mythical references – it's the first perpetual calendar wristwatch ever produced in series, from 1941 to 1952. Throughout those 11 years, only 210 examples were produced and most had yellow-gold cases. So finding a rose-gold example is always pretty exciting, especially one in this condition. From the hallmark's depth on the c

5127 Dial Question
Did the 5127 come in only one dial color?I see references to silver/ivory/opaline, yet the pictures are all similar. I did find a comment online that there was, in fact, only one dial color, however, I can't confirm this. Any help would be appreciated. I'm shopping for a 5127J and want to ensure I'm asking the right questions and don't want to be surprised with the dial color. Thanks. LS

Patek Philippe at Tiffany & Co.
I visited the opening of the Patek Philippe Salon and Museum show at Tiffany & Co. in New York yesterday. I highly recommend a visit if you are in the NY area as the museum is only there through Saturday, it will also be show in Beverly Hills in May. Many beautiful and historic pieces as well as the new Patek Philippe watches announced at Basel 2008 were all there..pbase/treacle/pp_tiffany
