Tutima M2 Pioneer Review
Tutima is a brand we've talked a little about here at worn&wound. We looked at the history of the brand here, and pined over the Grand Classic Chronograph UTC here. We've always liked the tool watch aspect of the line. While the brand is remaking itself and offering some more refined models in conjunction with their move back to their historic home of Glash��tte in 2011, they haven't forgotten their military roots.The venerable German brand can trace those roots to 1927. During World War II, the brand made something of a name for itself when it was one of a handful of companies making flieger watches for the German Luftwaffe. Post-WW II, Tutima was subsumed into the Eastern Bloc's watchmaking industry. However, the founder, Ernst Kurtz, had escaped to the west and started over in Saxony. Dieter Delecate, a former associate of Kurtz's, eventually took over and led Tutima into the modern era, traversing the mine field of the quartz crisis as he did so.Part of the secret to Tutima's su

Introducing: The Grand Seiko Spring Drive 8 Day Power Reserve, A Rare Example Of Japanese Haute Horo
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

AP boutique visit
Thanks to an appointment being unexpectedly cancelled, I found myself with some time to swing by the AP boutique in Central. The staff there were marvellous and happy to indulge me as I tried on a few pieces. While the yellow gold ROO didn't entirely do it for me, the dial is awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Antiquorum Dec Omega selection sparse
Just looked through what they have to offer and it looks to be limited this time. Anyone else planning on checkin out the rest of the collection on preview day?

Personal request - anyone own an 116610LV and a 116655?
I have a 116610LVc and plan to add a 116655 to complete my two Rolex collection. I've searched and searched the web for a photo of the two together, such as in a watch winder or storage box, but haven't been able to find such. I've seen the two together in a larger collection of watches, but not just a photo of the two by themselves.Does anyone here own the two? Can you post some photos? I would would much obliged to you.
