Tim's Horology At Halftime: The Best Of 2015 To Date
Welcome to the 2015 Horology Halftime Show, presented by hindsight. The official arrival of summer means that Baby New Year clich��s are as dead as your old Synchronar 2100, and in our era of instant analysis, it's high-time for a look back at a few?of high horology's best moments so far. Sit back, read on, and celebrate the finest plays of 2015's first two quarters.Boldest Move: Patek Philippe Calatrava 5524G.While the speculative impact of the Apple Watch has inspired the largest volume of controversy during the year to date, the most intense debate raged around Patek Philippe's first take on the evergreen pseudo-vintage pilot's watch genre. The Patek Philippe Calatrava Travel Time 5524G left some very self-important folks tying themselves in knots and exchanging CAPS-LOCK carbine rounds in online fora. For that entertainment value alone, the more jocular members of the enthusiast fraternity collectively owe Thierry Stern a free round at his favorite watering hole in Plan-les-Ouates

Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Tourbillon Watch
This isn't the first tourbillon watch by Jaquet Droz, though it is the most elegant. A simple concept, this Grande Seconde Tourbillon takes the standard figure 8 dial design and inserts a classy looking tourbillon into the seconds dial. The resulting look is gorgeous and the tourbillon has a neat secret, but can you detect the amusing irony of the watch name?The original Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde watch was named as such because the seconds dial was placed in the larger part of the figure 8 style stacked dials. That is why it was called the "big seconds," because that dial was larger than the dial for the hour and minutes.

Omega Seamaster 2254.50 [REAL] or [FAKE]?
Hey guys,Long story short, I'm working with these two pictures in order to identify if this 2254.50 is real or fake.

Would you expect the prices of BLNR to drop?
So considering there is SS Pepsi GMT now available. Can we expect the price of BLNR to drop in the second hand market?I feel like people who were saving up for the BLNR would move to get the Pepsi, causing the demand of BLNR to lower (specially in the secondary market)I know it all speculation, in fact there is another thread going on here saying BLNR might be discontinued. If it were to be, ofcourse the prices of BLNR would go up in prices. But I feel like this is speculation as well. But if BLNR continues to stay in production, I expect the value of it to lower in the second hand market.I am curious to hear other peoples opinions on here.

Thanks to Santa...
I now need 3 more watches!
