Looking At Liquid Metal Watches With Omega
The modern arms race with watches isn't about gears and pinions, but rather materials. It may appear that brands are hot on beating each others' movements but they know that such a war would be a joke. The race for the most accurate movement slowed to almost a halt when quartz watches hit the scene, and there are almost no new viable complications to be invented. The secrecy and excitement in the world of high-end watches is all in discovering, creating, and exploiting the hottest new materials.We've seen this over the last 10 years more than ever. Ceramic, titanium, carbon fiber, silicium, and other new or previously under-utilized materials are more than common now.

It Was All A Dream! - Jay-Z Royal Oak (Decisions)
Those that are into haute horogerie know that this game is very small so it is critical to always remain humble. One way or another the top guys are connected and they talk, a lot of these folks even lurk this very site and community we call TRF! Today I was presented with the opportunity to purchase the Jay-Z Royal Oak in SS which is limited to 50 pieces. There are four known pieces I am aware of... One is in Dubai, another is in Argentina, one is in Africa, and the other one is here in NY. I cannot discuss who opened their vault to me, however, what I saw today would make any AP collectors head spin. Truly a humbling experience! I will leave you with these pics while I ponder on my decision...

Brietling for Bentley Tourbillon
Saw the Brietling for Bentley Tourbillon Friday at Goveberg in Philly. Beautiful watch. I guess in the tourbillon world at $85k it's on the cheaper end. I loved it. They had an amazing Brietling selection. I've always loved their models and think they are under rated as a quality watch.
