10 Unique Watches Up for Auction at Only Watch 2015
As watch-industry followers are surely aware by now, this fall will mark the sixth edition of Only Watch, a charity auction of unique timepieces whose proceeds benefit the Monaco Association against Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. We’ve already shown you Tudor’s contribution to the biennial event; here are 10 more from 10 other participating watch brands.Blancpain has created a new version of its Traditional Chinese Calendar, with a 45-mm-diameter rose-gold case and a black grand feu enamel dial. The watch, which contains a Blancpain manufacture movement, combines aspects of both the Gregorian calendar and Chinese calendar; the latter includes leap months, signs of the Zodiac, symbols for the five elements and 10 celestial stems, and the 12 Zodiac animals that represent a 60-year cycle that is central to Chinese culture (for more detail on this ultra-complicated calendar watch, click here). Blancpain’s patented under-lug correctors are used to adjust all the indications.

RSW Moonflower Watch for Women 2009
Wow. Just check this out - the RSW Moonflower for Women.Powerful imagery to say the least. I love that this is a brand that is taking definite risks with a design like this - which has earned my respect, and I'm sure the respect of many more.Rama Swiss Watch, the geniuses behind the Moonflower, has grown out of need for truly unique, avant-garde pieces. Giving the manufacturing expertise of the founders, their success is sure to be guaranteed. Compare this with the fashion-forward designs and distributions, the RSW Moonflower stands alone.So, let's take the obvious. Moon. Flower. Can you see them both? Together? Not at firstbut, like those allusions, this watch offers so much more.And it's not a traditional look at all - period. For women's watches - this is a whole different game.It's definitely kind of ugly. The bumpy facade of the titanium dial is a little off-putting at first. It's a stretch for a moon - and a stretch for a flowerBut then - you gaze into the open face An

Introducing: The Patek Philippe 5327, A Brand New Perpetual Calendar Model In A New 39mm Case (Live Pics)
This year, Patek put the focus on higher end complications, not the least of which is the perpetual calendar. We have an entirely new reference in the 5327, which is very much the same in the grand scheme of things, thought very much different in the world of Patek Philippe. The watch replaces the 5140, though the 5140 will remain in production in a black tuxedo dial and a new grey dial, both in platinum for a limited time. The 5327's story is all about the case and dial, and in some way offers a lot of what modern Patek buyers might want �C a larger case and Breguet dial. 1 OF 3 The 5327 shares a similar case design to the Calatrava 5227. First, one must understand that the 5327 uses the very same movement that has existed with Patek perpetuals for 35+ years �C caliber 240Q. So that means, technically, you'll have roughly the same movement as you'll see in the 5140 and the 3940 before that. With that comes a great micro-rotor, self-winding caliber that is quite thin,

Special occasion...first PP
Just a quick and dirty pic of my recent purchase with which I am truly thrilled and still now cannot believe I own. It is such a beautiful and elegant piece, it's impact being felt so much more in the flesh than in pictures for which it still looks pretty good! I know there's been quite a lot discussion lately about the 5170G and comparison made with the 5070 (which I also considered), but for me this watch is the perfect size on the wrist, the 5070 being just a little too large imo, something potential buyers should really consider if you too like me might be considering both watches.I would like to thank our resident forum member Ken for some really good advice prior to purchase, cheers again![i78.photobucket/albums/j1...psevsj12gi.jpg
