Earlier this week, Apple finally released details regarding the pricing and launch dates of its eagerly anticipated Apple Watch. As Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed earlier, the watch will go on sale in April, so no surprises there. What's surprising, however, is the price of the Apple Watch. Without revealing too much at this point, the prices of some variants of the Apple Watch are a tad on the high side. If you want to find out more, be sure to read our article below which summarizes everything you need to know about the Apple Watch.Apple Watch aside, we also got the chance to finally see Patek Philippe's epic Grandmaster Chime watch in the flesh. Questionable styling aside, this is Patek Philippe's most complicated watch ever, so does it live up to expectations? Apart?from the Grand Master Chime, we also had a closer look at some other very exquisite high-end pieces including Greubel Forsey's new Tourbillon 24 Seconds Vision and F.P. Journe's Quanti��me Perp��tuel watch. Finally, we also

Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon Technique Black
If there is anything that this industry has done to me, it is to give me an incredibly skewed perception of wealth. I've lately realized that I have a very poor notion of "affordable" and "normal." When you notice that an entry level mechanical timepiece that you'd hesitantly give to your father hoping he wouldn't think it is too simple can cost $2,000, you probably know what I am talking about. In the scheme of buying products, $2,000 is expensive, and this version of the Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon is so many more times that in price.Greubel Forsey produces many watches that are a close neighbor to $1 million, proving themselves to be harsh mistresses. As unattainable as she is in this shiny black dress, this black titanium piece of horologia did steal my heart when spending just a few romantic moments together at SIHH 2013. Is it but a mere horological flirt? Perhaps my tastebuds should have never been exposed to this type of rich flavor? Am I doomed forever to see anything but

Swiss Watch Magazine 'Montres Passion' Crowns Two Piaget Watches As Watches Of the Year
It is nice to have your tastes validated, especially by people with such legendary priss a Swiss watch magazines. The magazine Montres Passion once again released the results of their annual Watch of the Year Award (2008) giving actual trophy awards to several watches in a few categories. However, the title of "watch of the year" and "best ladies' watch" were both awarded to Piaget watches. Both watches that I like a lot; the Piaget Altiplano Petit Seconds (aka the Piaget Altiplano Eccentric Small Seconds), and the ladies' Piaget Magic Hours.The criteria for the two watches was very different. Men's watches are judged based on style, mechanics, and practicality. While ladies' watches are judged based on use of materials, beauty, and uniqueness. For example, I don't think that any man's watch with a quartz movement would make it anywhere near "watch of the year" but that is ok for a ladies' watch.I wrote about the Piaget Altiplano Petit Seconds watch when it first came out a while ago.
