Basel Preview: Blancpain Half Time Zone Watch
Blancpain previews its first Villeret Demi-Fuseau Horaire: a travel watch that allows the second time zone to be set in half-hour increments. We are all familiar with the standard 24 time zones that differ by one hour, but many countries, including India, Australia and Canada also use half-hour or “offset” time zones.

No love for the 5726?
I very rarely see anybody with a 5726. I think the dial is more filled out and interesting than the 5711, which makes it more appealing to me. I would also find the extra complications very useful. Are there known problems with the 5726 movement that makes people stay away? Or is it simply that it's more expensive and therefore has a much smaller market?I've been considering some sort of Nautilus variation for some time, and I keep coming back to the 5726 as the one that I like the most.

Considering a 42mm Radiomir 1940
What are your thoughts on the 512 vs 620 vs 574? Pros & Cons of each? TIA!
