Going To JCK Jewelry & Watch Show In Las Vegas
I'd like to think that JCK is sort of like an American? Baselworld. It isn't, but it is a pretty good step in that direction. While combined with jewelry, JCK attracts a large number of watch brands and I will be attending it this year as a member of the press. This will be my first time going to such an event, so I will take my camera and trust me that I have some good meetings lined up. I might just possibly use up the full 12 gigs of memory card space I have on images over the next few days. There are two elements to the show. First are the expo halls where lots of the brands hang out showing of watches and talking about their products, and then there is all the private meetings and exhibits. Like I said, I have a fair number of appointments, so I should back with a nice haul full of juicy information images.You can visit the exhibitor directory at JCK's website. There are a lot of important brands, distributors, and watch brand group companies. If there are any specific brands you

Hublot Reaches Way, Way Back, Builds Antikythera Device For The Wrist
This week, Hublot revealed the movement that will power their much anticipated Antikythera watch, Caliber 2033-CH01. You're probably pretty familiar with Hublot, but this Antikythera device is another story that begins in the 1st Century with a ship wreck off the coast of Crete. What's an Antikythera device? That's a question no one has been able to answer accurately until the 21st century.?The Antikythera mechanism was first discovered in 1901, but remained largely misunderstood due to the technical limitations of those tasked with researching the find. It wasn't until relatively recently that scientists began to grasp the true complexity of the device. State of the art X-rays revealed a plethora of internal gear trains hidden within, along with Greek text on the outer case that is believed to be an instruction manual. Hublot likens the machine to a cosmograph, in that it describes the movement in the cosmos. However, the cycles that the ancient Greeks sought to measure are quite diff

No mama, No Papa Rolexes in Miami, etc.?
I read this article: https://.nytimes/2018/02/16/s...egistries.htmlAnd it mentions the phrase no mama, no papa which is supposedly used for the purpose of conveying that a watch has neither papers nor serial number.According to a Los Angeles based dealer mentioned in the article, no mama, no papa watches are very easy to trade. After all, a gold Submariner is a gold Submariner. I cannot imagine wanting a Rolex with no serial number. How can they possibly be easy to trade?I think it is against the law in some places to have an item with an altered serial number. Texas comes to mind.Are Rolexes without serial numbers really as common as the article tries to imply? I thought it was an interesting article, but maybe a bit of a shill for the watch registry services mentioned.
