Jaquet Droz The Charming Bird Automaton Watch Sings And Dances
Museum objects produced by Jaquet Droz and his contemporaries (seen here) in the 18th century often take the form of automaton birds geared to emulate in eerie detail actual birds complete with movement and sound. Bird songs were produced by moving a piston style tube in and out of a shaft rapidly. A small air hole would whistle, sounding remarkably like a real bird. The mechanical bird figurines were designed to often have moving heads, wings, and even beaks. These machines were often parts of ornate clocks.For the first time ever, Jaquet Droz has produced a miniature automaton bird small enough to put into a timepiece. The Charming Bird watch features a bubble in the sapphire crystal for the bird, and a mechanical bird call to reproduce the sounds of a bird song. The remarkable movement developed by Jaquet Droz is exactly what the brand should have been working on from day one. Jaquet Droz smartly designed The Charming Bird with an open movement architecture so that the entire mechan

Hands-On: The Cle De Cartier In Rose Gold And Steel
Last January at the 2015 edition of the SIHH, Cartier launched a major new family of wristwatches called the Clé De Cartier – named for the key-like, oblong winding and setting crown set into the flank of the case. We went hands on with the original launch models and we were very impressed by not only the visual, but also the tactile aspects of the design – the watch felt great in the hand and on the wrist, and the crown was just different enough to give a tingle of pleasure, but not so unusual as to become an obstacle to convenience. The Clé De Cartier family was also the launch platform for a new movement: the Cartier caliber 1847, which is the newest in-house general purpose Cartier movement, as well as its least expensive. The finish is not as elaborate as on, say, the 1904 MC (found in the Calibre de Cartier) but it comes in at a lower price as well, which puts the Clé De Cartier in a generally more affordable price bracket – the model we&rsq

Adjustable clasp for the moon watch?
As the subject mentions, does Omega make an option for my new Moon Watch (2017) model? Right now for my 6.5 inch wrist, the bracelet is either a tad too loose or a tad too tight. I have been wearing it on a nice rallye strap, but still, I'd love to be able to wear it on the bracelet too. Do I have any options?

It's Official: I'm a fanboy
The more I explore, the more I like Omega. I had no intention of buying anything today. I went in to pick up a strap. Got the strap for my AT. And it's awesome. Should not have tried these on. Got one for me, one for my wife. Going to sell off another to even things out, but such is life.
