Fonderie 47 Inversion Principle Tourbillon Watch In Red Gold
Fonderie 47, the company whose premise it was to use luxury product dollars to help clear Africa of AK-47 assault rifles released their first luxury watch, the Inversion Principle Tourbillon, in 2013. The mega-challenging timepiece was designed by Switzerland-based watch creator Adrian Glessing and produced by David Candaux, and focused on the idea of putting a series of retrograde indicators around a centrally-mounted tourbillon. The company began with a series of luxury jewelry products, but the ultimate goal was to have a watch collection to act as the face of the Fonderie 47 brand's products - at least for men.For 2014, Fonderie 47 returns with an 18k rose gold version of the Fonderie 47 Inversion Principle Tourbillon after the initial limited edition of just 20 pieces. To chat about the Fonderie 47 Inversion Principle Tourbillon and the brand overall, I caught up with Fonderie 47 co-founder Peter Thum, who was wearing a prototype of the 18k red gold Fonderie 47 Inversion Principle

AP collector in Dubai?
I would want to know if someone with a serious AP collection in Dubai would like to meet up. I will be travelling to that part of the world for holidays soon and would like to meet up with someone who is an avid collector with an avant garde AP line up. It always good to see various models in the flesh for future acquisitions.Thank youRegards Urooj

Patek is so boring
I have been waiting for them to come up with something interesting for years now. I love the minute repeaters but they are out of my budget. Other than that? I dont know.I LOVE the 5159 retrograde perpetual calender. That watch is a piece of art. Its so romantic. So yellow gold. I love it. Is it boring? Kind of. It lacks something. I dont know. But I adore that model. It will be my first PP unless Patek comes up with something new. I am in Geneva now.You guys need to visit this place. Watches and history everywhere. Expensive tho yet the CHF is cheaper than tbe EUR.Nautilus. That rounded octagon shape that still has corners? So not exactly rounded? I find it hideous. Thabk god because they are impossible to get.No one does minute repeaters, yellow gold and perpetual calenders (except for FPJ) better than PP.If Basel doesnt bring anything interesting I will own a Patek (5159J) but just because I dont like anything else. This is my personal preferance. Dont get offended by it. What are y

My Panerai 233 and Toshi straps
I bought a 233 a couple of months ago and then found Traveller's thread and a photo of his 233 on a storm grey Toshi strap - so I had to have one, ordered it along with a burgundy strap - then last week ordered two more! storm blue and heritage. Thought you might like the photos I took the other day...
