SIHH Preview: Piaget Unveils its First Minute Repeater
Piaget has announced the launch of its first minute repeater timepiece, set to debut at next month’s SIHH watch fair in Geneva. In the brand’s tradition of historically thin watches and mechanical movements, the new watch sets another record for slenderness in its category: only 4.8 mm thick for the caliber and only 9.4 mm for the case.The Emperador Coussin Automatic Minute Repeater was crafted entirely in-house, with the movement, Caliber 1290P,?developed, produced, decorated and assembled at the Piaget manufacture La C?te-aux-F��es and the case made at the brand’s facility in Plan-les-Ouates. This minute repeater movement represents the fourth major complication developed by Piaget, which over the past 14 years has created 35 in-house movements, including 11 comprising major complications. Some of these include notable calibers like the 600P (the world's thinnest hand-wound shaped tourbillon), 880P (ultra-thin automatic chronograph), 855P (ultra-thin automatic perpet

Orient M-Force Beast Review
With the exception of their $2,500 Pro Saturation model, the M-Force Beast is Orient's most serious dive watch option, boasting a more sophisticated in house movement than the one found in their very popular Mako and Ray models, as well as ISO 6425 divers watch certification, for what it’s worth. In short, the M-Force Beast is designed to be Orient's version of the diver's dive watch. Now we're not not divers here at worn&wound, so we can't speak to how it performs in the water, but having spent some time with the M-Force Beast, we're prepared to see if it lives up to its roughly $550 price tag.Case: Stainless Steel (brushed and polished)Movement: ORIENT caliber 40N5A movementDial: BlackLume: YesLens: SapphireStrap: Stainless Steel braceletWater Res.: 200mDimensions: 47 x 53mmThickness: 14mmLug Width: 24 mmCrown: screw down – 8mm x 5mmWeight: approx. 220 gramsWarranty: 1 yearPrice: $795 ($550 with Orient Watch USA online discount – use code “wornandwoundR

What may this be ?
Sorry nothing other than this image, looks sixties to me but the semi concealed crown tells me nothing???

I think I found the only new blue 5711 in the country!
Forgive the length of my first (!) post, it's been a long time in the making:After years and years of wandering through the hinterland of watch collecting, I have finally decided to jump into the deep end of the pool. I, like many here on this forum, have been through more watches than I care to count, yet few have held my interest for long. My biggest issue has been comfort -- I cannot wear a watch, no matter how iconic or desirable, that doesn't feel like it disappears on my wrist. I bought a SubC, sold it in a few months. I'e been through the big watch phase of Bell&Ross and Panerai, only to be disappointed. I found an AP 15300, but the bracelet, although beautiful, just didn't work for me and it, too, was sold. On a whim, I tried on a white 5711 at my local AD (more than I thought I'd ever actually spend, but we know how that goes��) and was struck by the slinky bracelet and lightness of the watch, which fit like a glove. But I really wanted the blue. Thus began the infuri

Black dial Dj41 vs. Dj2
Hello has anyone noticed a difference in the shade of black between these two models? Got all excited and went to AD last week to get a datejust 41 but the picture online did not match the picture in the store. It was more of a chocolate color and I'm definitely wanting more of a jet black color like a sub. Have yet to see a dat just 2 with the same specifications does anyone know if those are a true black?
