Montres Journe Introduces Solid Gold Dials on 3 New F.P. Journe Watches
Francois-Paul Journe, the founder and namesake of the F.P. Journe watch brand, had long dreamed of making watches �� not just cases �� out of gold. In 2004 his watch company, Montres Journe, became the first to produce entire movements in 18k rose gold, and this year, Journe has added yet another component: gold dials for three of his brand’s watch models.The new dials �� which make their debut on new versions of the F.P. Journe Chronom��tre Souverain, Octa Automatique Reserve and Octa Automatique Lune �� are made from 18k gold and feature embossed, mirrored numbers integrated into them. The base of each dial is sanded to perfection before a layer of silver is applied in Journe’s own special process. The numbers are surfaced and given their mirror-polish by means of a diamond tool. The print transfer of the time indications and F.P. Journe logo is the final step in making the dials, with up to five successive layers of finishing for a perfect “bomb��” shape. Each dial

Discussing DLC: Linde Werdelin Talks About The Hard Black Elemental Watch And Diamond Like Carbon Coating In General
You've probably seen at least something about DLC. You might not know what it is though, and the three letter term might go right past you. That's OK, because DLC is a relatively new addition to a watch maker's arsenal. Speaking with the very knowledgeable people at Linde Werdelin, I? recently have a new understanding of DLC, and am excited about Linde Werdelin's future incorporating the special coating on select lines of watches. Be aware that while DLC has many industrial applications, finicky watch makers demand only the highest grade materials and processes.DLC stands for "Diamond Like Carbon." Which is a bit confusing, as so many things are made from carbon, including diamonds. The idea is simple, diamonds are extremely dense in terms of their carbonic make up, and so is DLC. However diamonds have a crystalline atomic make up, where as DLC is more hexagonal in shape and formation; think of something that look likes. DLC shares a lot of diamond properties, but is simply different i

Decided to wear black today.

INCOMING! Omega Seamaster PO Blue LiquidMetal on Blue strap
Hey all,I've been wanting something sporty but elegant for a while with a rubber strap. After looking at a few different time pieces, my mind kept going back to the Omega Seamaster PO Liquid Metal on rubber strap in blue. Yesterday, I decided to pull the trigger on one after I left the office. I went to Jared, and I had a great experience. I also received Jared pricing. I don't really know how that compares to other ADs that sell Omega, but it seemed to be a pretty good discount from the MSRP listed on the watch - nearly $1,000 off of the MSRP. Any way, to my little rant regarding the watch itself.... When I think rubber strap, I don't think of the one on this watch. The rubber strap on this watch is durable, but also has a leather likeness to it. Needless to say it is very soft! The dial and bezel are absolutely amazing! In some lighting the blue looks very dull, but in others the blue is very vibrant. I really like it, because it's different every where you go. I also like the style

Got me a new PAM 422
Hey Guys,So after going into an AD about a year and a half ago with my mind set on a complicated Pam in the form of the 270. I discovered it was discontinued and replaced with the 533. While I liked the 533. I didn't love it mainly due to the stealthed out black hands. Anyway I stumbled across the 372 and 422. The 372 while nice was far too simple for my liking. I know it's loved and adored by the paneristi and for good reason but just not for me. The 422 with running seconds and the power reserve is just perfect! I even got past the date and manual wind. Reason being the manual wind forces you to have the ritual of interacting with you timepiece which is quite lovely to experience the butter smooth winding action. Date. Well. How often do you check that and even keep it in sync :pAnyway. Got a great deal from my AD and although I missed out on tax free after trying my luck I am still over the moon with it. No buyers remorse here!Pic time....Now barring a pam689 being in a store I walk
