J-B Viot "In Paris" Watch
Real watch maker (who epitomizes watch makers), makes real independent hand-made watch (that epitomizes indy hand-made watches). That is Jean-Baptiste Viot and his "Paris" (In Paris) watch. It is a pretty fantastic creation and I would first like to thank Francois-Xavier Overstake of the French watch blog Equation du Temps for permission to show you these images of the J-B Viot In Paris watch that he took. Aside from the highest image, all photography credit goes to him for the below images. Lucky him to be in France to get a hold of all that he does.The pictured watch from 2008 is a prototype. I believe that by now J-B Viot offers a retail version of the In Paris watch, of course all made by him and highly limited. He has a few interesting philosophies as a watch maker that make him a very practical person. Although his designs are pretty avant garde, he reject use of experimental materials and techniques that can leave watches fragile or unfixable by other watch makers.This all makes

After Market Straps and Buckles?
My Panerai will be the first watch where I would switch out the strap. After seeing so many photos with different style straps, I have to admit I want to have a varied collection for different looks. I'll have 2 or 3 genuine Panerai straps, but looking to supplement them with the many after market straps I see online and on Ebay. I also don't want to pay regular prices for a deployment clasp, so looking to get an after market version of that as well. What do you guys think about after market straps and buckles?
