Romain Jerome Steampunk Watch
Romain Jerome (RJ) isn't beating around the bush with this one. They call it what it is. This is the new RJ Steampunk - and is a follow-up timepieces to the limited edition Romain Jerome Titanic-DNA Tourbillon Steampunk (hold on, let me take a breath) A la Grande watch from a few years ago. There are some differences in style, but the main change (aside from the dial design) is the lack of "Titanic DNA" part of the name and this time RJ uses a movement without a tourbillon -which will certainly help with affordability.The Steampunk is large at 50mm wide and the bezel is oxidized metal (going with the Titanic DNA theme). The "X" motif of the bezel claws are continued with screws that go deep into the dial. These screws are also meant to resemble steam engine pistons. The large Roman numeral hour markers for 12 and 6 are large and purposes done in a scratched-up texture. We have seen these hands before - and they are meant to evoke the Titanic's anchor. It is pretty neat and still feels

Mir�� Watches Hands-On
Simple is harder to achieve in design. When something lacks bells and whistles it is more vulnerable, easier to pick apart and scrutinize. As such, it is a risk for a brand to pursue something simple and clean. But, when simplicity is achieved, there is an unmistakable beauty that comes along with it. This leads me to the actual topic of this article, a relatively new brand of watches from Sweden, called Mir��.?Mir�� didn't set out to do something terribly new or innovative, they didn't use fancy materials or shocking colors, they just made a pure expression of a 3-hand watch that lacks pretention. With a dial design that is sparse, but well balanced, a calf-leather strap that is refined, but basic and hands that add just the slightest bit of contrast, the Mir�� watches are more about style than substance. One look at their very well directed photography will confirm this. They set out to make a watch that can be worn by anyone and in any situation, and I think stylistically, they succeed

Can you repair a spring bar of a 16628?
I was changing straps on a 1999 (i think) 16628, and then the spring bar came apart. I was observing how it worked, and it seems theres a small slit in between the barrel of the spring bar, and I guess it widened a little to push 1 end of the spring bar out. Is this repairable? if not, how much is a replacement spring bar. I am not sure, but I think they're solid gold as well.
