Peter Roberts Concentrique Grand Complication 5 Watch
Here is a watch that we unfortunately didn't see at Baselworld this past April, the new Peter Roberts Grand Complication 5. "New" is used softly here as this watch is actually based on a design and concept from 1972. Peter Roberts is a renowned British watchmaker, lecturer and consultant that created a watch, called the "Concentrique," as his graduation project from the famous WOSTEP (Watches of Switzerland Technical and Educational Program) watchmaking school. It is a timepiece he still wears all the time, and has been asked for quite sometime to produce and sell.Forty years ago, the Concentrique was ground-breaking as it was the first wristwatch with five centrally mounted hands, offering the time, chronograph seconds, pointer date, and a GMT hand all spanning from the center of the dial.

Review: Citizen Nighthawk
The Citizen Nighthawk might be old news to a lot of watch people out there. It's been around for a few years and has gotten a decent amount of attention in its day. But despite that we felt that it had a place on worn&wound, because it's one of the best mass-market quartz offerings out there in terms of affordability, good design and value. ?For $237, the Nighthawk delivers in ways that many more expensive watches don't. It has useful complications and features, distinctive looks, solid build quality, good water resistance and a solar powered movement that lasts 180 days on a full charge and never requires a new battery. Forgetting that it is a cool looking watch for a second, between the GMT hand, the slide rule bezel and the solar movement, you have 3 outstanding features that can actually be useful on a daily basis. As James Enloe pointed out in his guide of GMT watches, being able to track a second time zone has very practical implications. Slide rule bezels can allow you to do

Special PP AD events
I know there are special events throughout the year sponsored by an AD or by Patek with Thierry Stern in attendance. Besides special exhibits like the Munich exhibition or the Grand Complications exhibition, etc, what are these events like? Is it just cocktail and dinner? I received an invite to an event next month which I am sure many members here in the US also received. I am trying to see if it is worth my time since they got buried with snow the past few days and who knows what it'll be like next month with the crazy winter weather.
