The Jaquet Droz Petite Heure Minute Paillonnee For The Only Watch Auction
Jaquet Droz has released their donation to the Only Watch auction coming up on November 7, 2015. The unique piece exemplifies what Jaquet Droz is best known for by using the historical technique of paillonné enameling. 1 OF 2 The 43 mm, 18k yellow gold case features a deep red pailloné enameled dial, a technique that was handed down from the goldsmiths of the Renaissance. The motif is created by carefully placing tiny pieces of gold leaf on the dial, followed by the red Grand Feu enamel, which creates the translucent sunburst pattern and intricate trellis-work. 2 OF 2 In addition to the unique dial, the movement features a new silicon spiral, a new material used in the movement of the Petite Heure Minute, and allows for better shock resistance and pressure variations. More information on Jaquet Droz can be found on their website. Additionally, for more information on the Only Watch auction, please click here.

No it's not the service time on a Patek watch I have a friend of mine, the only one really interested in watches, normal he sells them, who told me the other day that he has an order at a patek AD, didn't say which one, for a 5711 that he passed 3 years ago, he celebrated the birthday the other day by calling the AD who told him Jerome you're still on the list don't worry, you're arriving at the top soon, with Patek soon can mean 6, 12, 18 months, no one knows, Patek time is like another dimension, something unknown and impossible to understand to us simple mortals��That's really crazy, when I went to the Paris salon to pass an order for the 5712 they wouldn't even take it, said the waiting list was too huge, and not only on 5711/5711/5167, on all SS models, there is not one SS Nautilus or 5167 on which they take orders, except the 5164, which was basically the only one I was able to try but even if it's very nice it wouldn't be a keeper for me, the 5712 is and I hope the 5167R will b

Funny thing happened at dinner...
We've all seen those threads concerning comments about your Rolex. I've occasionally gotten some nice comments about my watches but rarely more than a terse compliment. Today was different. I was having dinner with the family at one of those local restaurants where the tables are pretty close to each other. Well I noticed that an attractive young couple next to us kept surreptitiously glancing over at me while whispering to each other.Finally, the lady leans over and says, pardon me sir but what kind of watch is that?This? It's an Italian brand called Panerai I replied.Thank you! I'm sorry for disturbing your dinner, but I've been looking for a watch for my fianc�� as a gift and we've been thinking of getting him a Rolex. But I much prefer how masculine and sexy your watch looks, she said.If you're interested in this model, you can order one at [local AD]. Ask for Josh, I suggested helpfully.Her fianc�� was grinning ear-to-ear... he's a very lucky man. Anyways, I just wanted to share and
