Introducing The Rotonde de Cartier Earth And Moon, A Tourbillon With On-Demand Moonphase Display (Li
Over the last few years, Cartier's Fine Watchmaking department has been consistently pushing out some of the most creative and technically impressive haute horology around. Just a few weeks ago we showed you the new Astrocalendaire and today we've got another stunner for you. The Rotonde de Cartier Earth and Moon uses its tourbillon and a moving Lapis Lazuli disc to display the phase of the moon on demand and there is a second timezone display as well. The Earth and Moon is as much a mechanical sculpture as it is a timekeeper and here we've got all the details.The Earth and Moon is not a subtle watch – far from it. The platinum case comes in at 47mm across and 16.65mm thick, with robust arching lugs. The dial is bright blue lapis lazuli with a white gold Roman numeral grid over the top that also features a map of the earth at the center.

AP - Singapore- PICS
Had some fun trying on a few pieces at the AP Boutique Singapore on a pass through....I have been wearing my Diver for the last month so it's mine in the pics.... The best footballer in the world....

Servicing a Speedmaster (reduced) very little used
I have a Speedmaster (reduced) Schumacher yellow dial which I bought about 15 years ago. I use it very little, perhaps 3 months if that during the 15 years. Essentially when my Rolex was being serviced and a few other opportunities. It works very well although it has never been serviced.Question: does usage influence the needs of servicing? Or is it essentially related to time?I do not really want to spend any money on that watch, on the other hand I want to keep it working.Thanks for your advice.

Walking on the Moon!
Well, maybe not the Moon but certainly on air!Here's my new baby, the Speedy Pro.Lovely 'wear-anywhere' watch, no airs about the watch (and it's owner!); must admit the Hesalite crystal had me stumped for some time as I didn't want a watch I had to be really careful about as I HATE scratches.However only the Hesalite watch has the steel back (glass backs do nothing for me) so the original Moon-watch it had to be!And very glad that I made the right choice; something really historic about this watch.Very legible too- that's a major point for me as I drive in a country full of maniacs when it comes to road etiquette and taking your eyes off the road= heading fast for a better world.And yes, I have removed the plastic stickers now.

Newcomer Advice Needed: 116613LB
Greetings from Georgia, USA.I am awaiting delivery on my 1st Rolex from my local AD due to additional links needed for my 9 inch wrists.Heretofore, I have worn nexpensive watches 24/7. I was smitten by the imposing presence of the Bluesy, but am concerned about preserving its good looks.How can I minimize the damage associated with constant wear?
