Bell & Ross WW1 Collection Launch Party
Bell & Ross recently presented its new WW1 collection at the historic H?tel National des Invalides whose famed Eglise du Dome houses Emperor Napoleon I's tomb. This new collection, which includes a pocket watch (the PW1) as well as the WW1 wristwatch, traces the evolution of timepieces from the pocket to the wrist. Guests had the opportunity to visit the famous Mus��e de l'Arm��e and then gathered in a sumptuous ballroom to enjoy exquisite French cuisine and vintage Champagne. After admiring the watches, the guests could stroll along the walkways overlooking the square courtyard of the Invalides to soak up the historic atmosphere. The nearly 300 guests included media personalities, French military officers, political figures and watch aficionados.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Juan Pablo Montoya Watch Available On James List
Audemars Piguet is pissed. If you've been watching the brand for the last 10 years or so, you'd notice a lot of Formula 1 themed limited edition watches in the Royal Oak Offshore collection. Seeing them could easily lead you to believe that Audemars Piguet (AP) and F1 has some type of bond. And recently that relationship ended. Hublot - yet again- took out from under AP's noses, a valuable sponsorship including that with F1. Audemars Piguet is still pissed about it. While it will take a lot time before Hublot can match the movement quality and consumer perception of AP, they are quickly nabbing up partnerships that AP was one proud and secure in having.But let's not think about right now. Let's look back in the past a bit. Back to when AP was in solid ties with Formula 1, and the limited edition models as a consequence of that partnership poured like gasoline in those thirsty big engines. This is one of the children of that relationship. In the past I spoke about the Audemars Piguet Ro

(just curious - it's not as shiny shiny as my newer Sub C)

Another happy LAWW customer
Just received my watch back from LA Watch Works and am incredibly happy with my experience. Start to finish they were a class act. Great communication, on time turn around, and most importantly, incredible work. I sent them my 16570 after RSC completely ruined my case the the last time they service it - 2013. At least one of the worse jobs I've seen. Now I'm not one to baby my watches, especially this one, but it drove me bonkers every time I was reminded of their botched work (almost daily lol). Though, I held out from trying to getting it corrected as I figured Rolex would correct the geometry the next time it was sent in for a service. Fast forward till about a year ago, I started seeing LAWW work all over the forum and was impressed with their capabilities. Sent mine in for a spa treatment and very satisfied with the results. Below are some before and after shots:
