SIHH: Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 XXL
The Vintage 1945 collection is a modern reinterpretation of the spirit of an Art Deco-inspired model with a rectangular case. At 35.25 x 36.20mm, the generous dimensions give it a strong presence on the wrist. Like the original model, its dial features Arabic numerals, “railway” minute track and subtly concave small seconds display at 6 o’clock. This symmetry, the guiding principle of Art Deco, gives the design perfect balance.The Vintage 1945 XXL is also distinguished by its self-winding mechanism. The manufacture caliber GP3300 can be appreciated through the watch’s crystal case-back, and sports traditional decorative finishes: C?tes de Gen��ve, circular graining and blued steel screws.The Vintage 1945 XXL is also available in steel.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Pink gold caseDimensions: 35.25 x 36.20 mmAntireflective sapphire crystalSapphire case-back fastened with 4 screwsWater resistance: 30 metres (3 ATM)Girard-Perregaux GP3300Mechanical self-winding movementCal

Introducing: The MB&F Arachnophobia, A Clock That Will Give 3.5 To 6.1 Percent Of You The Major
MB&F is nothing if not iconoclastic in its approach to everything fromwell, to everything, and this time they've come up with a clock that is guaranteed to not be bought by a sizeable fraction of the general population (that's right, adjusted for where you live, 3.1 to 6.5 percent of the general population suffers from flat out arachnophobia – irrational fear of spiders – and while a lot of the rest of us don't, we still prefer as a rule to keep our distance). It's the Arachnophobia, which is – well, there's no way to sugarcoat it, this is a clock in the shape of a giant spider. A giant spider with long, spiky legs. A clock, we repeat, in the shape of a monstrous arachnid that bears more than a little resemblance to the final form of the Other Mother in Coraline. (Seriously, though, don't click on the link if you don't like monstrous demonic soul-eaters in the shape of spiders. Did you click on the link? Now see, that's why we told

Patek Geneva
A few of us from this forum are off to Geneva next week for 5 days at Patek. 15 North American collectors were invited by Patek, Henry Stern Agency, and the best damn AD in the US to do this trip. We were very blessed and fortunate to be among the 15. We will do our best to document everything we are allowed to. VC is going to give me some do’s and don'ts over the weekend. Frem is also going to give me tutoring on how to photo document a trip. In no way should anyone think we will live up to Frem, but we will do our best. I have been looking forward to this for a long time. It is a bit of a pilgrimage for me.
