Suave Looking Jaquet Droz Ceramic Power Reserve Watch
After the recent design success that Jaquet Droz had with its (silly named) Grande Second Sport Utility Watch, the company began to realize an emerging market for the brand that included a younger constituency. The next step it seems is a more toned down, but equally energetic watch which is the Ceramic Power Reserve.The case is entirely ceramic, which is of course one of the haute materials being used lately. Ceramic cases always have a sheen to them, but can vary in terms of gloss. I'd guess that this Jaquet Droz is somewhere in the middle. You'll probably agree judging from the pictures. The watch comes in either black, with a matching rubber strap. You can get a similar Jaquet Droz watch in white ceramic, but that model does not have a power reserve. I'd have to say that I am reminded of Bell & Ross with their latest BRS watches. Perhaps not the design, but more the overall feeling and tone of the watches. They seem to be aimed squarely at the same market.The dial shares the ty

Cambridge University Gets Masterful Corpus 'Chronophage' Clock From Inventor John C. Taylor: Reminds Students To Graduate On Time, Or Else!
I love this stuff. It seems as though most all inventors at one point in their life just have to create some method of displaying the time. They can't call them 'clocks' either, that would be too...routine. Here we have a fascinating clock that was donated to Cambridge University in England by successful inventor John C. Taylor, who himself attended Cambridge in the 1950s. He refers to it as a "Chronophage" (something that 'eats' time), and named it the "Corpus Clock." This is likely do to the fact that it will be placed at the Corpus Christi College at Cambridge.Taylor has had a privileged life no doubt aided by his inherent talent and skills. He gained his fortune improving of all things, thermostats. You can read more about him here. About seven years ago he began the development of this clock which he half paid for himself at a total cost of about one million English Pounds. Although this amount seems high, you have to take into consideration the budgets involved when Swiss watch m

Introducing The Harry Winston Histoire De Tourbillon 4
Today we've got the latest installment in Harry Winston's Histoire De Tourbillon series, a collection of watches meant to explore various directions in which the tourbillon can evolve. The Histoire De Tourbillon 4 features a unique triple-case tourbillon in an attempt to counteract the effects of gravity from all angles, as unlike the pocketwatches for which the tourbillon was invented, our wristwatches are constantly in motion. 2 OF 3 Triple Cage Tourbillon The tourbillon mechanism in this watch is one of the most complex out there. There are three concentric cages, each of which sits at a different angle in relation to the cage outside of it, and each of which rotates at a different speed. The outermost cage completes a revolution once every 300 seconds (5 minutes), the intermediate cage rotates once every 75 seconds, and the innermost cage spins once every 45 seconds.? 3 OF 3 Titanium Bridges and Plates As part of it's push for accuracy, the His
