Celebrating Connoisseurship With A. Lange & Sohne Watches
Back in early 2009 I visited A. Lange & Sohne's manufacture in Glashutte. It was actually the first watch manufacture I visited, and now almost three years later I have much to compare it to. It is actually a shame that I saw Lange's manufacture so early in my career because I did not properly know how to appreciate it at the time. Don't get me wrong, I was thoroughly impressed during my visit, but I would have been much more impressed had I seen other places first that don't necessarily deliver the same experience and level of product. Even on a larger scale, Lange is the type of brand you can only really appreciate after getting to know many other watches first. I think that by definition that makes it a connoisseur's brand.This idea gets me thinking about what it means to be a connoisseur and how watches fit into the overall world of connoisseurship. Here with A. Lange & Sohne in the Napa Valley testing and learning about wine and watchmaking is probably a good place to pond

Breitling Superocean Heritage 46... Black or Blue?
I found a great price on both models. It is just so hard to choose!!!Both will be on the rubber strap.

Rolex ain��t kidding when they claim...
tighter spec than COSC with -2/+2. For my past watches with 31XX generation movement, timekeeping over certain days deviate average of 0-2 seconds which is superb compared to rest of the brand but daily deviation around 3-4 seconds sometimes depending on rest position and power reserve.The newer movement (at least for the Sky D), is consistently 0 Sec deviation EVERY day for past 2 months, regardless of resting position. What sorcery is this??
