How To Mix And Match Colors With Your Watch, Like A Man
There is a kind of watch owner out there commonly referred to as the ��One watch guy'. Whether due to sentimental attachment, thrift or a single-minded love of a specific reference, they strap on the same timepiece day after day regardless of the rest of their attire or the social situations the day will bring.I have deep admiration for the ��One Watch Guy' to doggedly ignore or remain oblivious to the ocean of horological possibilities is darn difficult - though it does simplify the morning routine - but I will never be him, I love watches too much, my tastes are too wide, the acquisitive urge too strong and maybe I am just too indecisive.That said, being the ��Way Too Many Watches Guy' allows their owner to play a different game, that of using your watch purely as an accessory to the rest of your outfit. At first I wondered if this might be just a personal weakness but a steady trickle of images from Twitter and Instagram lead me to suspect I am not alone.What follows are not a set of r

A. Lange & Sohne Langematik Perpetual Watch Available On James List
The perpetual calendar complication has been a fascinating and useful feature on high-end watches for quite sometime. Calendar functions directly related to keeping the time, and offer a variety of information related to the 24 hour cycle. Most watches have just the date, and the more complex you get, the more calendar functions you can record. Annual calendars measure the day, date, and month - often the phase of the moon as well. The benefit for those is being able to avoid adjusting your watch each month that does not have a 31 day cycle. Though there is still the matter of dealing with a 29 day February.Perpetual calendars step it up a notch by taking into consideration leap years, which occur each four years and affect the length of February. Perpetual calendars are named as such because they don't need to be adjusted very often. The next time any perpetual calendar watch needs to be adjusted (by one day) will be the year 2100. This sounds sexy even though none of us will be alive

Question on hornback strap
Hi all,I just took delivery of a 26170 Navy and it wears a little loose on my small wrist. I was wondering if punching an extra hole into the hornback strap would not damage anything. Also, I was wondering if it is possible to swap out the deployment clasp and fit in a tang buckle instead. Here's a quick photo:Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

The pilot has landed!
So I picked up the pilot 5524g yesterday after a wait of about 6 months. I wasn't expecting it until the end of this year, so was a nice surprise to get the call early. I think there have been quite a few deliveries in Q1, and I'm guessing this is due to production now switching to the 5524r for at least the next few months. As we all know the 5524 was a controversial piece when it launched in 2015. I certainly didn't like it from the first photos released by Patek. Seeing live photos and trying it on totally changed my opinion and I knew this was a watch that would end up in my collection. Having now had the watch for a day I thought I'd share my early thoughts:- I love the case dimensions. Something I really like is a flat case back, with a thicker middle case and the 5524 suits my taste perfectly here. - It's quite a thick watch, but because of the above it feels perfectly balanced and in proportion. Coupled with the weight of white gold it feels very nice. - It's got a vibe differe

My new free Patek 5712
And the VERY expensive tie (and loupe) I had to buy to get it. Thanks for everyone's help and advice over the past 6 months or so. This beauty was the eventual winner over a number of contenders from Rolex, AP, and Patek. A gift to myself for my 40th. Patek just seemed appropriate!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
