Junghans Meister Kalendar Watch
If you need just one reason to love Germans today let it be this watch by German watch maker Junghans. The Meister Kalendar is one of their more retro-looking pieces embodying the spirit of Bauhaus design's beautiful functionality and the graceful lines of a dress watch. Masterfully composed, the Meister Kalendar hides a few design secrets that make it so lovely to look at. It isn't terribly expensive either, and this is a brand that you'll be happy to check out - though it isn't without its quirks.Pretty much all good German stuff has quirks right? Well, that probably goes for all things. As an avid driver of German cars and wearer of German underpants (joke! only if...) I find an endearing quality to Germanic design. The Mesiter Kalendar watch isn't over-designed, which is good. Germans are excellent at minimalist design when they wish to be. Though as a brand Junghans has taken the production of retro-themed timepieces quite seriously. They want this and other Meister collection wat

Inside The Manufacture: A Visit To, And Detailed Look At, Laurent Ferrier
I always like to begin my stories about Laurent Ferrier with the same fact. This man, who now makes some of the finest watches around, who also spent four decades of service at a little company called Patek Philippe, ultimately achieving the position of technical and product director, not only raced at 24 hours of LeMans in 1979, but actually podiumed, coming in third place. Who came in second? The team featuring one Mr. Paul Newman. So, no matter what you think of Mr. Ferrier's watches, he is, was, and always will be, incredibly cool. 2 OF 47 And about those watches. We've given you a diatribe or two on why we love Laurent Ferrier so much – see here for a look at the micro-rotor, here for a look at the new and improved tourbillon double spiral, and here for the just announced and about to be delivered dual time-zone Traveller. But just this week, while spending some time sitting in a Geneva hotel room, I decided to shoot LF a note and see if I could swing b

Nice way to start the day!
So I go to adjust the time on my 8500 PO, but when I unscrew the crown it starts to make this clicking sound and then comes loose in my fingers... the stem broke in the middle and is still in the tube.Watch is under warranty and I'm taking it to the boutique to send it for service. Hope it's covered. ..After it's fixed I think I'll sell it the day I get it back. It's a pretty watch, but I don't want this headache and bill when the warranty is over.Attachment 496449Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

Anyone know dial options for a DJ36?
Now that I just purchased a BLNR, I am ready to send in my 1986 16013 Datejust for refurbishment. Thought I'd also get the dial changed from black to ?? while it's in the shop. Leaning towards blue, but wonder what other options are available besides champagne or white. Not looking for bling, just something classy and perhaps slightly unique.

Tudor Heritage Chrono on Everest Band
Picked up an Everest Band for my THC, I'm thrilled with it. Crappy cell phone pictures don't do it justice.
