Hublot Antikythera Calibre 2033-CH01 Watch Is A Re-Imagined Greek Masterpiece
One of the things I really appreciate about Hublot is that they don't do everything directly to sell watches. A lot of their events and projects are for charity or to further development in the horological world. Yes, of course, there is a branding element to each of these projects and it gets people write about the brand that might not otherwise cover a wrist watch story, but in the end it makes for a very dynamic Hublot.I recently joined Hublot for the official unveiling of the Antikythera movement that Mathias Buttet worked on making for the last several years. In French they call it the Anticyth��re, and the movement reference is the Calibre 2033-CH01. Lets start with some history, both recent and ancient.Before being at Hublot Mathias Buttet ran BNB Concept. When the economic crisis hit and BNB Concept went out of business, Hublot (a large customer of theirs) bought up much of their resources and hired Mathias. While still at BNB he was working on the replication (not exact in term

RO Rose Gold With Black Strap
As many of you know I have just taken delivery of a 39mm RG Skeleton with standard brown croc strap. Does anyone have any photos of it, or indeed other RG Royal Oaks, with a black strap please?

Platinum Rolex/18206 and "hollow links"
Hi everyone - longtime reader, have never registered/posted until now.I own a Rolex 18206, all platinum case/President bracelet/bezel, and have been reading about the solid vs hollow links on here for awhile now.Convinced that the 40mm newer platinum Day Dates would be significantly heavier than mine, I recently visited a Rolex AD and asked to see one - and was stunned when it weighed about the same as my pre-2000 36mm.Most of the posts on here refer to the weight difference in steel and gold bracelets for pre/post 2000 watches but I assume the hollow links issue also applies to the platinum models. I assume the minimal-seeming weight difference is simply because platinum is generally heavier/denser?Lastly, my watch is almost 30 years old and the bracelet will eventually need a tune-up - can anyone speak to Michael Young's experience working on platinum President/other platinum bracelets?Thanks much.

Coke Ceramic Opinions
Would you prefer a coke with SS or BCLs, a coke with PCLs, or a coke in precious metal? What do you think the kind of coke will come out amongst the above? As far as coming out, I don't think it's going to be Basel 2018. I know a lot of people would like that, but I don't foresee that happening. I think Rolex is focusing on other timepiece changes and of course a new movement. Your thoughts?

Watch box starts the collection
Hi all I've been jealous of your collection displays for a while. Today for my 2 year anniversary I received a box for mine. Clearly not as impressive as some but I like them. The small Rolex is my wife's, both that and the 30 year old Cyma were given to us by her HK grandfather. Room for one more. My grail is the blue red GMT but as it's made of gold I can't afford it...yet. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
