TimeFactors Speedbird III (PRS-22) Hands-On
Sit back, pour yourself a drop of your favourite and have a think…If someone told you that you could get a proper Flieger from a boutique maker, numbered case and dial, in-house design, screwed-in crown tube (none of this pressed-in stuff), 80,000 A/m soft-iron inner case and a top-grade ETA 2824-2 movement, what would you guess the price tag would read? ?��3,000? ?Maybe a snip at ��2,000?Now we've started, a couple more questions…Where would you expect this paragon of low-volume horology to come from? ?La Locle? ?Geneva? ?La Chaux-de-Fonds? Glash��tte?And what would the logo on the dial read? ?Omega, possibly. ?IWC, perhaps. ?Breitling or Bremont, maybe?I'll bet you a pint in my village local (should you be lucky enough to find yourself in Bampton's splendid Morris Clown) that your answers are not, respectively, ��470, Sheffield and Timefactors.From South Yorkshire, Eddie Platts, Timefactors' owner, has been shooting across the bows of the branded Swiss watch industry since 19

Introducing: The Grand Seiko Spring Drive 8 Day Power Reserve, A Rare Example Of Japanese Haute Horology From The Famed Micro Artist Studio
I think every hardcore watch nerd dreams of owning a piece hand-crafted by Seiko's Micro Artist Studio in Shiojiri, located in Japan's central Nagano region. The Micro Artist Studio is a tiny subset of the Seiko manufacture that is the absolute elite unit, responsible for hand-crafting not only the incredible Eichi II, but also the Credor Minute Repeater and Sonnerie. Today, for the first time, we saw a Grand Seiko that was given the Micro Artist treatment, and it did not disappoint. 1 OF 3 First, one must understand that the craftsman in the Micro Artist Studio are top, top tier. They are the group that visits no one short of Mr. Philippe Dufour with some regularity, and the group that Mr. Dufour to this day holds in extremely high regard. This is true high-end finishing of the highest order, an until now, this has been reserved for Credor product. I'd always wondered why we never saw an insanely high-end Grand Seiko, and now we have. 2 OF 3 Eve

126600 production stopped until March
I was told yesterday that Rolex have stopped production of the 126600 Sea Dweller until March. It wasn't a sales ploy either as I already have mine, I was lucky enough to get one of the first ones back in June. Could this be the removal of the red writing with a dial change ready for Basel World in March ???
