Jaeger-LeCoultre: Making Timepieces In The Heart Of Watch Country
I am in Switzerland �C in the Jura mountains to be exact �C and it is snowing. As a California guy I don't see much snow. In fact, the only times I have really seen snow in my life has been in Europe. The place looks like something out of a Christmas card. There is white covering the ground and lining the trees while quaint little buildings spew puffs of smoke out of their chimneys. It is all very charming in a sort of storybook way. It is also the perfect setting for watch making, and the winter window views of the men and women who work at Jaeger-LeCoultre.I heard some interesting history which helps to explain at least part of why there are so many watch brands up here. The mostly agrarian culture (traditionally) didn't have much to do during the long winters. So an indoor activity would have made the most sense. This area also has relatively easy to mine metal ore deposits which the people here have been using for a long time to make metal tools and things like musical instruments. O

A cold snowing Boston...
Not sure if you guys are gamers or into gaming but I am currently at Boston exhibiting at a huge gaming event PAX East. People said I was crazy but I could not and have not taken my AP off so I took it along for the ride. For those who question if the AP could be daily wear, here's a proof!After setting up and 1 full day of the event still looking good...From 80 degree LA to cold, snow, and chilly BostonHad great dinner at Island Creek Oyster Bar This event is crazy, there were tons of people dressed in elaborate costumes of their favorite gaming characters. I don't know how and why...

389 Review
I only wear Rolex and Panerai and I flip quite often. Panerai ruined me with Rolex as now I can only wear the larger (42mm+) Rolex models as all of the others just look too small. I LOVE THE PAM 389!This watch is so good looking and really sings to me . The 47mm size makes it a real attention getter and the OEM weathered strap is second to none! Panerai has really stepped it up as of late on their OEM straps.
