JEANRICHARD Nocturnal Adventures Watches For 2014
You have to hand it to JEANRICHARD. ?When most brands introduce a variant of existing models, there's not much to tell the models apart other than a suffix on the model reference number. ?With their three newest watches, they've come up with a name for the, well, sub-collection: ?Nocturnal Adventures.This new group of watches features two variants of their Terrascope, and one of the 1681. ?What makes these watches different from their predecessors is the fact that they are predominantly black - black dials, black cases, black straps. ?This is also, of course, where the first part of the name from the group comes from; the second part just being that JEANRICHARD intends their watches to be ready for sport adventures.We'll start with the Terrascope models, as these are likely the most familiar style from JR for many. ?These share the same 44mm case and overall styling that we've come to know and love from the Terrascope line. ?Where they branch off is with their finishing.The first one (

Found: A Patek Philippe Split-Seconds Chronograph Signed By Tiffany & Co. In Completely Original Condition
Every watch guy's dream is to go up into his grandparents' attic, open up a dust covered shoe box, and discover an unmolested horological masterpiece. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
