Haldimann H9 Reduction Watch
I thoroughly debated on whether or not I should even cover this "watch." It is from a brand called Haldimann - eponymously named after the watch maker Beat Haldimann, and I think the man is playing a rather cruel joke on watch lovers. One press release I saw on the watch wasn't a press release at all, but a rather diplomatic article written by a Swiss journalist based on his reaction to the watch. As a timepiece this item is utterly indefensible - but optimistically creative types will claim that it is some manner of art. This latter description is probably the kindest thing you can say about this horological insult.

Roger Dubuis EasyDiver Blackswan Watch
As a supplement to the new for 2010 EasyDiver collection (that I wrote about here), Roger Dubuis has released a limited edition EasyDiver Black Swan watch you see before you.

For instance, how many square ceramic cases have you seen? While I don't know the particular ins and outs of how the bezel was made, I would guess it is significantly more complex than just a ring-shaped ceramic bezel. The complexity comes in with the notches and the numerals done in reliefwatches-dealerpared to the watches from 2010 the Black Swan certain has more of a night look. I would go so far as to say "blac

Breitling Chronomat Automatic
Hey guys, I recently just purchased a Rolex DateJust and am trying to sell my Breitling.I know the resale value is not as good as Rolex but the best offer I have gotten was only $1,000. It's amazing how much resalers mark up watches. I have seen my exact watch for $2,500 with the same company who offered me $1,000. Does anyone know if this watch will sell for more or any dealer who will actaully pay a reasonable price? Here are some pictures. Thanks
