Breitling for Bentley Masterpiece: A Tribute to “W.O.”
Each year, Breitling creates a unique piece named Bentley Masterpiece: a mechanical magnum opus combining tradition, performances and the finest craftsmanship. This year at Baselworld, Breitling will unveil its new, one-of-a-kind Grande Complication pocket watch dedicated to the Bentley’s founder. The 2010 Masterpiece combines two sophisticated complications: a perpetual calendar displaying the date, day, month, leap years and moon phases, and a minute repeater. The movement, based on a late 19th century blank of which Breitling found just a few examples in its workshops, comprises almost 700 parts. The refined finishing �C hand polishing, chamfering, and C?tes de Gen��ve �C is visible through a transparent caseback. In tribute to Walter Owen Bentley, the cover of the 18-carat yellow gold case is adorned with an engraving depicting him at the wheel of one of his racing models. This portrait is accompanied by the famous W.O. initials by which the engineers and craftsmen of the Brit

Pierre DeRoche Split Rock Dare Watch Collection
This watch is a self-admitted combination of luxury watch making and the "art" of graffiti from watch maker Pierre DeRoche. What is charming is that the Swiss watch maker sought out a Swiss based graffiti artist - who'd a thought right? The artist they worked with is Sigi Dare von Koeding, who takes graffiti art and makes it into fine art. I like his work, but think that it might be hard for lots of people to take it too seriously depending on the role that graffiti has played in their life. I for one being born and raised in Los Angeles have a perception that while graffiti is a cool art form, it has a strong association with vandalism - which is true when you think about how it all started. You should check out the link to his site (click his name above) for views of his work.If you look below, you'll notice one of his paintings called "Dare." It takes the word "Dare" and writes it many times in graffiti text. The same term is applied to these three limited edition Pierre DeRoche S

Incoming: Speedmaster 9300 Titanium Blue
Hi all. I am very happy to be joining the Omega family with my Speedmaster Titanium Blue (what I like to call the Blue Side Of The Moon).The journey to this one was a little bit circuitous. I was ready ready for a new pick-up to mark an achievement, and started by looking at the Rolex Bluesy Submariner and the PAM00512. Both very different, I know. Tried on a Bluesy and just didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Liked the PAM00512 alot (and still do) but just wasn't sure.At the same time, I had really liked the DSOTM, pretty much since it first came out. Huge amount of respect for the 9300 movement, loved the two sub-dial layout and of course the all ceramic set-up was intriguing. So I went to the Omega boutique to try it on and loved it. But I tried on the Ti Blue as well, and really, really loved that one. The color is a wonderful, understated blue that works perfectly with the muted look of the titanium metal. And the titanium is great because it makes what is a re
