Uniform Wares M40 Brushed Review
Over the last several years, Uniform Wares has made waves, becoming a trendsetter in the industry. Since their first series came out, countless brands have come on the scene trying to copy their aesthetic. Lugless cases, sterile dials and generally clean and minimal designs all around, are hallmarks of the British brand. And as they've continued to grown and refine their style, they have also have refined their manufacturing, now entirely done in Switzerland.I had the chance of meeting with them a few months ago to see their new watches, and the build quality was immediately apparent in everything. Remarkably sharp edges, tight tolerances and clean finishing all around. But one model stood out the most, the M40 Brushed Steel. Part of their modern case line (hence "M"), this watch struck me with its all metal dial. Using laser cutting and precise finishing, it's striking and beautiful. The M40 features a Swiss-made ETA F05.111 movement and comes in at $610 with either Italian calf or ru

Hands-On: With The Red Gold Piaget Altiplano 900P, The Thinnest Mechanical Watch In The World (Live
Back in December we gave you the very first live photos of the Piaget 38mm Altiplano 900P, the thinnest mechanical watch in the world. The 900P celebrates Piaget's 140th anniversary and continues the manufacture's long tradition of pushing the limits of ultra-thin watches. At SIHH we got our hands on the red gold version of this watch and were just as impressed with it as we were with the white gold version. Here's a recap of what makes the 900P so special and a detailed look at the rose gold presentation. Enjoy. 2 OF 13 The Piaget 38mm Altiplano 900P had to take an entirely new approach to construction in order to achieve its amazing 3.65mm profile. Most significantly, the case is directly integrated into the movement instead of there being a discrete movement placed inside a separate case. The back of the case also serves as the baseplate for the movement. Additionally, the bridges make up most of the dial, with the actual "dial" sitting in the to

NYC or MIA boutique for best experience?
I'm going to be on the market for a 2 AP's in the near future, one will be a Lady Oak 67650ST for my soon to be fianc��, and the second for myself being the 15202ST Jumbo. The Lady Oak will come first as she will be graduating from law school and I want to mark that moment in time with something special she can remember everyday as she starts her day. My RO will be for our wedding, which I know because of its limited production and wait list adds a layer of complexity to it all. I'm planning on putting down the deposit at the same time of her purchase. I know the most cost protective route is through a trusted forums seller. However, I've been reading previous post on buying directly from AP and the experience/perks that come with it. Also, the 5 year American Boutique purchase warranty is another added bonus to buying direct.These are forever home pieces, and not something we are going to trading out so the cost difference is real but I don't see it become a realized loss if that mak
