Frederique Constant Takes on the High-End with Their New In-House Perpetual Calendar
Perpetual calendars are one of the darlings of complicated mechanical watches. Traditionally, they display the time, day of the week, date (day and month), and moonphase, all while keeping track of how many days are in a specific month and accounting for that extra leap day every four years. That means that once you set the watch to the right time and date, it will know that September only has 30 days and every fourth February has 29, staying correct for a very, very long time. To do all that mechanically is a feat of design and engineering, a feat which usually carries a very big price tag.When you're talking about mechanical perpetual calendar watches, you're usually talking five figures��to start.? Prices can easily reach 20��50��100 thousand dollars for an automatic perpetual calendar from a famous brand. That's why what Frederique Constant have done here is relatively amazing: an in-house automatic perpetual calendar starting at $8,795.The Frederique Constant Manufacture Perpetual Ca

Omega Boutique services?
So I started my Speedmaster journey a couple of months ago by looking at one at the Omega Boutique in my city. Ended up buying last week from a trusted seller (too good to pass up) and had a local jeweler size the bracelet for me. Like I've seen others mention before, the bracelet doesn't fit me as well as I'd like it too. I have one more thing to try before considering the adjustable clasp addition I've seen here.My question is, will the Boutique greet me with open arms, fiddle with mt adjustments, and offer to order parts if needed? Or will I be given the cold shoulder since I bought it elsewhere. Thanks for any advice/experiences.

I just received my first strap from Hodinkee. Beautiful quality, I went with the marbled calfskin in navy. Nice box and packaging as well. If anyone else has purchased one, show us what you have!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
