My First Grail Watch: Kari Voutilainen
Welcome back to an original watches-dealer feature, "My First Grail Watch." In this series, we ask prominent people in the watch industry about the first timepiece that they lusted after. Today, we're speaking with Kari Voutilainen, a watchmaker who owns his exclusive brand, Kari Voutilainen.watches-dealer (ABTW): Who are you, and what is your relationship to the watch industry?Kari Voutilainen: I am first and foremost a watchmaker. I also have a watch company in which we are making our own in-house movements, as well as dials and hands. My production is extremely exclusive and I will keep it this way. My relation is good with watch industry - actually we are part of it - but we are very independent. This is because we don't have suppliers - we do everything by ourselves.ABTW: When did your fascination with watches start?Kari Voutilainen: When I was a child, we had a family friend who had a watch shop, and was also a watchmaker.ABTW: A great way to be introduced to a wide variety of wa

Introducing: The A. Lange & S?hne 1815 Anniversary Of F.A. Lange In Honey Gold
In February of this year, Lange revealed a limited edition 1815 in honor of the brand's founder. It was made of solid platinum with a black dial, and was made in only 200 pieces. That seems to have been a big hit, so another limited edition in honor of F.A. Lange has been revealed, now with a silver dial – but in Lange's proprietary honey gold. 1 OF 2 This limited edition piece will be very much the same as the platinum F.A. Lange 1815 – a 40 mm case and the beautiful manually wound caliber L051.1 with a power reserve of 55 hours. Each of the 200 watches will be engraved with a serial number xxx/200. This special edition will retail for $33,500 and while very similar to the platinum watch, there is something special about a honey gold Lange. For those who own the existing honey gold pieces, it's a must buy. For those who wanted one and missed out, here is a great way to own a special watch that is purely Lange.More here. 2 OF 2

Panerai Used Values
I'm hoping to pull the trigger very soon; I'm torn between the 533 and 359, but that's another story. I'm buying to enjoy a watch that's completely differently what I already have, not as an investment or anything like that. Does anyone have any idea of how used values of Panerai stack up, or are likely to go, over the coming years?

Can I pull this off? (Pam372) - opinions please
Hi allI visited the panerai ad last weekend to try the 372...I love the look of the watch but of course was concerned about it's size. if the 390 were still available I'd probably go for that, since the 44mm luminor case is a good fit for me... so anyway:Here are a few pics I snapped off the watch on my wrist. Do you guys think I can pull it off? The lugs I think overhang slightly over the edges of my wrist. I'm 6' tall with thin lanky build...Thx for your opinions!!Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
