The F.P. Journe Tourbillon Souverain Bleu, A Unique Tantalum-Cased Watch, For Only Watch 2015
Hot on the heels of the Tudor and Patek Philippe, Phillips Watches has announced a new unique piece from F.P.Journe to be auction off at this year's Only Watch – the Tourbillon Souverain Bleu.This is the first time that F.P.Journe has participated in the Only Watch auction and they did not disappoint. Based on the Chronomètre Bleu, which we reviewed here last year, this is one of the few tourbillon wristwatches to be housed in a tantalum-case. This is not the first time that F.P. Journe has used tantalum, as it was used to case the Chronomètre Bleu Byblos Limited Edition. 1 OF 2 2 OF 2 The Tourbillon Souverain features a reflective chrome blue dial and has an 18k pink-gold, in-house movement, which is fitted with a remontoire. This watch will be auctioned off on November 7 to raise funds for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. For more information click here.

Hands-On: With The Blancpain Villeret Tourbillon Squelette 8-Day In Platinum (PLUS: You're Invit
While perusing the wares of the brand new Blancpain boutique on Fifth Avenue a few weeks back, I stumbled across this guy here. It's called the VIlleret Tourbillon Squelette 8-Day, and while it was announced at BaselWorld 2014, there wasn't a lot of attention given to it �C most was offered to the awesome new in-house chronograph movement seen in the Bathyscaphe Chronograph. But this new tourbillon has a lot going for it. 2 OF 3 First, it employs Blancpain's excellent in-house 8-day self-winding tourbillon caliber 25, which is quite thin at 4.85mm in thickness. That's not only thin for a tourbillon, it's also very thin for a tourbillon with an 8-day power reserve. Second, the case is an absolutely perfect 37.5mm in diameter. Yes, that's 37.5mm and nobody is calling it a lady's watch. This is the size a watch like this should be. Second, this tourbillon offers a date function, and power reserve on the semi-skeletonized dial. 3 OF 3 It is indeed the dial here t

Uses for a Chronograph
Timing boil-offs :) turns out a Daytona is the perfect brewers watch!Sorry, it's my first day of not working in a suit after almost 10years, so I'm pretty excited about it. First official day as a beer brewer, and already prepping for the largest beer day of the year!Anyone else have strange perfect uses for their chronograph?
