My Perrelet Semi-Skeletonized Split-Seconds Chronograph Watch Article On Haute Living
I wrote about the new series of Perrelet Semi-Skeletonized Split-Seconds Chronograph watches on Haute Living. The interesting like obvious is skeletonized and is a rattrapante (split seconds chronograph). In doing so, Perrelet has given the line a very unique style and high value for the originality. Prices are between about $13,000 - $25,000. Read the full article on Haute Living here.

Inside The Manufacture: With Jaeger-LeCoultre In Switzerland, Pt. 2: Secrets Of The Atmos Clock
The Atmos clock is one of the essential timepieces made by Jaeger-LeCoultre, and, at least among horological enthusiasts, it's also probably the single best-known clock in the world. The first prototype was built in 1928, by an engineer named Jean-Léon Reutter (a resident of Neûchatel). The Atmos was not the first clock to be wound by changes in the atmosphere around it; clocks powered by temperature or air pressure changes go back to the 17th century, when the very first known was invented by Cornelius Drebbel. (Drebbel, an impressive polymath, is remembered today for inventing the first navigable submarine, but he also invented an early working air conditioner, different types of thermometers, one of the first compound microscopes, and, of all things, a chicken egg incubator.) The oldest pre-Atmos clock still in existence is the so-called Beverly Clock, which has been running since 1864 more or less continuously without ever having been wound manually. 1 OF 6

Wow, marketing brilliance...
Yes, this is another BLRO thread...and yes I am a Rolex and TRF NEWB.I have to give credit where credit is due, and I give Rolex a ton of credit for releasing the BLRO in SS, even if it comes on a jubilee. In terms of consumer goods, this release is right up there with any marketing strategy in recent memory. Rolex took an iconic piece and poked the bear while only offering it in WG. Sure, those who could afford the WG BLRO were thrilled, however this decision had the masses in an uproar for 4 long years. Had many people begging for a BLRO in SS, and WHAM now we have one. We may never know if Rolex intended it this way before they released the WG BLRO 4 years ago, but the demand and buildup for the SS Pepsi was 4 years in the making. I believe Rolex knew what they were doing on this one, and imo this strategy will pay huge dividends for them.
