Cyrus Klepcys Watch
Newer brand, new watch. Cyrus debuted late last year but I never got a chance to really check them out as their timepieces reminded me of wrist-mounted doomsday devices. Their flagship watch is Klepcys (still trying to properly pronounce that one) and it is a formidable piece of unique horology. The master behind the mechanism is Jean-Francois Mojon. One of today's better watch makers who is known for (among other things), the Harry Winston Opus X.In addition to the standard Klepcys watch, Cyrus will be donating a special one to the Only Watch 2011 auction. Images of both are seen here, whereas the piece unique model for the action is in white gold with a red "11." The high-end piece is another attempt on "doing it differently." While I respect the mechanism and concept for some reason the design leaves me a inert. I feel as though I need more time with the watch to appreciate it fully. It does however move me much more than the brand's other watch called the Kuros. We will see what ha

Patek Steel quality, Website and Brand direction
I recently purchased a sub after being torn between the no date and Aquanaut (for those interested look for my thread titled Aquanaut vs Sub ) but had a few questions regarding Patek steel quality, website and where the brand is headed1. The Rolex just had more of a shine to it than the Patek. I am guessing this has something to do with 904L Steel that they use? Does Patek use 316L? Anyone know anything about Patek's steel quality?2. Also does anyone else think Patek's website is a little bit too 'clunky'? For a brand this big shouldn't they invest in a better website? Brands like Rolex, VC, ALS and AP have great websites I am surprised Patek dosen't3 And lastly, does anyone think we will see bolder, younger models from Patek? A lot of people can't afford PP Complications and Super complications- when their existing customer base for those watches eventually dies out how will they attract the younger smartwatch wearer to the brand? I think they need to be looking into more entry level

Hi,I live in Israel, there's no patek lab over here ( the only option its to send the piece to Swiss), what do you think for replacing gasket, may I do it with my watchmaker, or to send it to the official lab?Thanks for your thoughts EmanuelP.sThe watch was services at official lab in the last 5 years.I'm talking only about replacing gaskets for water resistance.
