New Lange 31 in Pink Gold
Lange is introducing a new pink gold version of the 31, the first mechanical watch to achieve a power reserve of 31 days. The movement is powered by two stacked mainspring barrels, each with a spring that is slightly more than 6 feet long. A constant-force escapement between the twin mainspring barrels and the going train assures that the balance receives an identical amount of energy every ten seconds, regardless of the state of wind of the springs. This much power takes up space, making the Lange 31 movement as large as some watches: 37.3 millimeters in diameter and 9.6 millimeters thick. This presented challenges to Lange’s designers. For example, on the dial alone, the designers considered more than 70 versions over 2 years. Tiny details, such as whether the hour markers should be a fraction of a millimeter longer or shorter, were considered. In the end, the designers achieved the classic, timeless Lange look.The Lange 31 in pink gold retails for $114,000. Look for it to begi

Xetum Tyndall Limited Edition Watch
Young San Francisco based watch brand Xetum now has their first limited edition piece - and it starts selling today (February 15th, 2011). Limited to 100 pieces, this is modified version of the Tyndall model watch. For the limited edition Xetum changed a few things, and the result is pretty nice - as you can tell from hands-on experience with the piece.Xetum didn't want to radically change the popular Tyndall model for this limited set. Aside from offering a limited number of pieces, Xetum wanted to offer a new flavor for the watch. The most noticeable element is the carbon fiber dial. Xetum opted for a slightly glossy sheet of carbon fiber that works well with the design of the hands and numerals. The limited edition model is actually more sporty and formal at the same time.The case is still 40mm wide in steel, but is reverse polished in comparison with the standard model. The case itself is all polished, while the two rings that go around the case are brushed. This look is quite hand

New watch accuraccy.
Just got a hardly used 2254.50 and did a 24 hour time check. Only lost 1 to 2 seconds. I'd say that is pretty good for an auto!!!

Refund after price increase?
Well, I didn't expect this. Was thrilled to pick up my 5960 from my AD less than 7 days ago and now it's worth $3,800 less. I jumped on board PP from Rolex about a year ago. I currently have two and two more on the way.I did the 'right' thing by Patek and bought from an AD. I've been walking on cloud nine since I bought it, but I'm sure you can appreciate my frustration - especially when you hear from ADs that the price will be going up due to the Swiss Franc, etc.By the incomings, I know there are others that are in this position. Have you done anything about it? Are you going to?Thanks for listening - this was therapeutic :)
