Truth In Watch Movement Advertising And Defining Watch Caliber Origins Once And For All
Rolex currently produces in-house made movements for their entire watch collection, but that wasn't always the case. A few small parts today may still come from niche third-party Swiss suppliers.The movement of a watch is the engine inside of it which "makes it work." I understand that novices to the world of watches may not even be aware of what "watch movement" means. Watch movements are generally classified as mechanical or quartz (electronic), and are, in many ways, what draw people to purchase or desire a particular timepiece. Drawing an analogy from the world of cars, you don't necessarily buy a new vehicle simply because of the engine inside of it and its claimed performance, but because of the complete design, driving experience, and mechanical performance put together. Like car engines, when it comes to watch movements, there is no lack of topics to discuss.Today, we will be discussing a very important matter concerning watch movements: who made them, and where they come from.

Casual Leather Strap Ideas
I just acquired a Speedmaster 9300 steel on steel. I have the black leather aligator strap too. Love the watch on its bracelet. I will be in Paris next month and wish to get a casual looking strap made at ABP. Any suggestions for what works? Pictures would be great. Seems the choices are overwhelming - it might help to have some pictures to point me in the right direction. Thanks.
