The Gagarin Tourbillon Watch
Ironically enough I was just thinking about BLU, and what ever happened to it? The cool high-end brand did some neat stuff with dials, but I haven't heard anything about them in at least a year or two. Well now I know. BLU's Bernhard Lederer is (BLU = Bernhard Lederer Universe) is on to other projects, and this is it - The Gagarin Tourbillon.To remind you, I last wrote about BLU here (about two years ago). Anyhow, on to The Gagarin Tourbillon. Yes, this watch is an homage to Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space. He was blasted into orbit via the Russian Vostok-1 rocket (Vostok is also the name of a watch brand but little coincidence!), and then orbited around a bit before coming back down. The Gagarin Tourbillon tries to memorialize this with a tourbillon that acts as a satellite around the dial of the watch. It travels over city names and places like the original satellite did.

Introducing: The Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater, The World's Thinnest (In Current Produc

For that reason, the most complex watches are made in ultra-thin variants by only a few companies, and as a rule, they're those firms with a very long technical history in such watchmaking – Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Audemars Piguet, Piaget. Bvlgari came late to the ultra-thin game but they're playing it like they mean it, with such watches as the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon (see our int

I regret have taken my Moonwatch...and now!

A real pilot wearing *the* GMT for pilots.
I do fly pretty regularly. Stayed on the plane during a short stop. Pilot came through the cabin to shoot the breeze. We chatted about his watch and his wife bought it for him waaaaay back in the day and he told me he almost told her to return it when he found out how much she spent.I wasn't changing time zones so I didn't have the BLNR on but he was super happy to hear about how much a totally original GMT is worth these days!
