CEO & President of Zenith Watch Company Theirry Nataf: Striking Resemblence To Other 'Precious' Lover
Zenith watches is precious. Owned by LVMH who also controls Louis Vuitton and Tag Heuer, the phenomenal watch maker is a jewel of the luxury conglomerate. The combination of the El Primero movement history (contained in many Rolex watches) as well at the bold styling of the Zenith Defy Extreme make for a very strong true watch manufacture.Nataf has been highly successful revitalizing Zenith. Taking risks is something he used to. The Defy Extreme series of watches was very risky Zenith. An unusual design, and relatively expensive, they incorporate the modern trend of material mosaic watches. Each Defy Extreme watch has a combination of steel, titanium, kevlar, and carbon fiber. Some models have more element sandwiched in the mix. Zenith Defy watches are undoubtedly cool, perhaps too much for most individuals that cannot afford them. Truly a watch to lust after tantamount to love for an exotic sports car. Like many other watch brands, there was a time when Zenith's future was questionabl

Pre-Baselworld 2014: Introducing The Hublot Big Bang Unico Bi-Retrograde Chrono, The Official Watch
In the 1970s there were special chronographs called "Soccer Timers" with markings on the registers for counting the 45 minute halves of a match. Hublot has taken things much further here with the Big Bang Unico Bi-Retrograde Chrono, building a mechanism from the ground up that is optimized for this function. The two retrograde hands clock the seconds and minutes on a specially designed scale and a window at the center of the dial shows which half is being timed. The main timekeeping is separated in a smaller dial at 6 o'clock, so you can wear the watch off the pitch.??The foundation of the?Big Bang Unico Bi-Retrograde Chrono is the new in-house movement. The caliber HUB1260 was built using the same dual-coupling column-wheel technology as the UNICO caliber, but with the marked difference of having two center-mounted retrograde hands for the chronograph mechanism. This 385-part movement is the first bi-retrograde caliber from Hublot and is patent-pending. 2 OF 3 You're pro

AP polished for the first time by APSC.
My AP Elephant is polished for the first time by the Audemars Piguet Service Center combined with a full service and eh.. I don't like it. The matt grey texture on the back of the case and the backside of the pinbuckle is gone. Also, the AP logo on the pinbuckle normally had some kind of contrast to the metal around it and now it doesn't. The bezel was ruined and had a hole but is done very well but that was also the reason that I decided to do a polish.Overall, the watch feels kind of strange and the screws in the lugholes seem like they are very close to the outside. I don't know what to think about it. I'll post some pics later on.

My AP ROO Diver "mini review" !
Hello all !Having been absent here for quite a while I would like to give a mini review of my newly acquired Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver. It��s a watch that I have been secretly dreaming of for a long time, but I have always thought that it would be outside my reach.But looking at my collection of watches recently I arrived at the conclusion that it would indeed now be possible - only hurdle was that it required sacrificing a couple of watches that I was very fond of. However having given it a little more thought I realized that none of the watches in question would be impossible for me to reacquire.So off to one of the many danish good guy used watch dealers I went - swapped my Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra, my Rolex Sea Dweller triple 6 and an Omega Constellation Pie Pan and returned home a happy camper wearing the AP ROO Diver on a bracelet on my wrist :-)At this time I have had the watch for a couple of weeks and would like to share my first impressions of it with you.Weig
