Omega Museum Launches New Website
In May, 2010, Omega reopened its museum in Biel, Switzerland following several months of renovations. The Museum, located just opposite Omega’s headquarters, originally opened in January of 1984, and it is the oldest museum dedicated to a single watch brand. Now, the museum has a new, dedicated website. Find a link inside. Speaking of the museum’s renovation period, Omega president Stephen Urquhart likened it to an anthropological dig. Not only did we renovate the whole Museum but we also restored many of the period features of this listed building. We discovered things hidden in the archives which we didn't even know we had and when the Museum reopened, some of these objects were presented to the public for the first time. Extending the opening hours to Saturday will allow even more people to enjoy what is on display. The museum features items representing the brand's entire history, from the watchmaker's bench used by Louis Brandt when he began to make watches more than

Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon Watch
For 2014, Jacob & Co. returns with a rather amazing watch creation sure to impress everyone from traditional watch lovers to the public at large. Watch the video below of the new Astronomia Tourbillon and it is easy understand why "wow" is a typical response to this complex and very interesting horological creation. When and whether the Astronomia will actually be produced is another question, but even if the timepiece remains a digital video I would be happy at the creation of the mere concept.Jacob & Co. was one of the first watch makers to understand the power of "insane watch," that being a mechanical watch of epic complication meant solely to wow and impress in a manner akin to the tone and content of many rap music videos. These are designed to be "ultra-luxury lifestyle" watches for people who buy new yachts when they are bored and surfing eBay on their phone while waiting for their personal bankers to exit the toilet of the yacht they are currently sitting in.

5167 - second hand
Whilst setting the time on my Aquanaut this morning I noticed the following:-a) The watch does not have a hacking second hand - I assume that this is standard for the majority of Pateks?b) When adjusting the time If I adjust the time anti-clockwise (I realise that in hindsight this is probably a major no no) the second hand seems to jerk a few seconds backwards and then resumes its regular movement.Are the above observations pretty standard - for a second I though that there was a problem with the hacking function?Do people have a problem calibrating their watches without such a hacking function and is there reason that Patek choose not to include this?

Will the new Deep-Sea make a difference to you?
Will the new wider bracelet and case shape of the Deep-Sea make a difference to your decision to buy?I've never been able to even consider the Deep-Sea due to its relative size to my wrist and so it has never been on my radar.However, now with the new bracelet size, new case contour and not the least the new movement (Cal. 3235), it is something that I would now entertain the possibility of owning.What say you??????
