The name of the Yacht Club is actually used to stand on its own for IWC and the other which was a success. Introduced in the early 1970s, the Yacht Club was part of a series of watches sold under the family name "SL" and drawn by none other than Gerald Genta. Genta, of course, is one of the most legendary watch designers, whose distinctive style has been found in many 1970s Swiss watches and in many respects, is emblematic of the time. As Pininfarina, coachmaker, who designed the swooping bodies so classic Ferrari and Alfa Romeo, Genta is a pen has hired, commissioned for a ultimate beautiful cases on movements of different companies.

Inside The Manufacture: Moritz Grossmann, A High-End Manufacture And Ambassador Of Glash��tte's Horological Talent
For Christine Hutter, founder and CEO of high-end independent watchmaker Moritz Grossmann, the desire to open a manufacture was innate, stemming from her personal and professional interests as a watchmaker. The fact that Hutter is possibly the only woman in history to create and lead an independent watchmaker is but just one factor of what makes this Glashütte-based brand one worth watching. The other factors – the development and production of in-house calibers, attractive teutonic aesthetics, and the use of novel materials in movement construction (like human hair and self-lubricating guaiacum wood) – makes us wonder whether the glut of good watches coming out of this region is a coincidence, or if there is truly something special in the water in Glashütte.

Royal Oak case back numbers
I just received yesterday Royal Oak (15400) with a black dial, purchased from an Audemars Piguet AD. On the case back there is only one number, the case number, starting with letter J. I thought that Royal Oaks have another number (watch number) engraved on the case back. The warranty certificate also has only case number and a movement number. Both numbers correspond to the numbers on the watch. Does anyone know if they sometimes don't put the second number (No xxxx) or if they stopped doing it with the latest J series. Thank you.

Does it piss anyone else off that DavidSW has BNIB 5711a purchased in March for sale?
5 year waiting lists or closed waiting list for those who really want one, but either he back-doors his way into one or someone else buys one and flips it immediately. Disgusting!

Sell PAM 111 and upgrade to PAM 1312?
As the title says, would you?I have a PAM 111 series R (2015) so one of the last few batches produced.I love how it looks and sits on my wrist and looks great always with my various Paci straps.However, despite having this for almost 20 months and using it almost as my daily beater, I still cannot get used to:1) No date - i still always flick my wrist2) Forgetting to wind itI have a Sub Date that I use when not on the PAM and purely from a functional perspective, Auto and Date rocks.Hence the 1312. I like the 312 more aesthetically, but the case size would just not work for me. That said, I also really like how the 1312 looks.Anyone gone through something similar as the subject line says?Cheers!
