Peter Roberts Concentrique Grand Complication 5 Watch
Here is a watch that we unfortunately didn't see at Baselworld this past April, the new Peter Roberts Grand Complication 5. "New" is used softly here as this watch is actually based on a design and concept from 1972. Peter Roberts is a renowned British watchmaker, lecturer and consultant that created a watch, called the "Concentrique," as his graduation project from the famous WOSTEP (Watches of Switzerland Technical and Educational Program) watchmaking school. It is a timepiece he still wears all the time, and has been asked for quite sometime to produce and sell.Forty years ago, the Concentrique was ground-breaking as it was the first wristwatch with five centrally mounted hands, offering the time, chronograph seconds, pointer date, and a GMT hand all spanning from the center of the dial. Roberts was only 20 years old when he developed the mechanism that allowed for the Concentrique, and the watch was never commercially available or put into production, until now.Peter Roberts' perso

It's no surprise then that the beautiful cherry wood cabinets and wall panels are made by a craftsman from the same valley as where the watches are manufactured in Switzerland. 2 OF 47 The ground floor exhibits a vast range of watches. Here you can find fine haute horlogerie pieces alongside some of Blancpain's more modern diving watches. 3 OF 47 On your way up the stairs to the private lounge and bar, you find an impressi

Special PP AD events
I know there are special events throughout the year sponsored by an AD or by Patek with Thierry Stern in attendance. Besides special exhibits like the Munich exhibition or the Grand Complications exhibition, etc, what are these events like? Is it just cocktail and dinner? I received an invite to an event next month which I am sure many members here in the US also received. I am trying to see if it is worth my time since they got buried with snow the past few days and who knows what it'll be like next month with the crazy winter weather.
