Ulysse Nardin and Visconti Create Unique Fountain Pen
For more than 165 years, Ulysse Nardin has created exclusive timepieces. Now the manufacture from Le Locle has teamed up with writing instrument specialist Visconti to present a classic communication tool the reflects the finest traditions of passion and craftsmanship. The fountain pen is hewn from a block of deep Ulysse Nardin blue resin. More than 20 steps are required to produce the resin sections alone. The metal parts, made of 18k gold or .925 sterling silver, are produced in Florence at the Visconti headquarters. The pen’s patented mechanical parts offer many attractive features, such as the bayonet closure system with safety mechanism whereby the cap can be locked shut with just a quarter turn. The filling system provides maximum writing autonomy – equivalent to about 10 ink cartridges. Another system prevents ink spillage during flights. The famous Visconti triple-channel ink feed, unique in the world, is the same color as the resin and allows for optimal ink flow t

JAQUET DROZ Grande Seconde Decentree Onyx
“Black is the one colour that contains and consumes all others,” said French painter and sculptor Henri Matisse (1869-1954). The intense shiny black jade dial on the Grande Seconde D��centr��e Onyx plays with the light bouncing off two white gold rings that come together to form a curvy figure of 8, a signature of Jaquet Droz. The smaller one unveils the hours and minutes tracked by two rhodium-plated spear-shape hands at 2 o' clock. The larger and more eye-catching ring takes over the black dial between 5 and 9 whilst a slim hand twirls over the seconds brought to life by the JD 2663A.P calibre. Gaze at the mechanical movement through the 43mm steel case's sapphire back as it provides a 68-hour power reserve. The steel watch is also available with a silver dial. Price: 10,200 CHF.

3712/1A or 5712/1A-001?
Hi everyone, I wanted to know what you think about these 2 watches? I understand it's the same except the 3712/1A were the first Nautilus with the moon phase, but don't see any other difference, are there any?I read that the 3712 were produced at 1000 pieces, anyone know if that's the right number and also how many 5712 were produced up until today?I found a 3712 from 2006, a little more expensive than the 5712, around 3000 euros more, is it worth the difference collector wise to get the 3712, or better save those extra 3000 and get the 5712?Thinking about getting one but have to say never saw one in real, just love the style, Genta did a great one as well as the Royal Oak, but what I especially love on the 2 models, 3712 and 5712 is the movement with the micro rotor, plus of course the style of the case, kind of 70's but a classic that will never go out of fashion IMO, a little like the RO, have a few watches, 3 Panerai, 233K, 82 and 28, 3 Rolex, sub c LN, BLNR, Daytona 116515, and ju

RG 40mm DD vs 36 platinum
I've been reading so many great opinions on the new 40mm DD. Have my heart set on preowned platinum 36, can't afford 40 even preowned, but RG 40 with chocolate dial is fantastic which I could buy new. Opinions? Just purchased my wife a midsize datejust 178341 and chocolate dial with RG is incredible.
