M��hle Terranaut I Trail Review
M��hle Glash��tte is no stranger to making tough and unique dive watches, as we saw in our review of the S.A.R. Rescue Timer. Their interests, however, go beyond the depths of the sea and into land and air too. While pilot watches are a very common thing (surprisingly common when you think of how many people are actually pilots��), watches that are designed for land sports, by which I mean biking, hiking, etc�� are oddly less common. With their Terranaut Trail line, M��hle has set out to make watches for this very purpose.With designs inspired by pilot's watches, the Terranaut's have a restrained and attractive look with an emphasis on legibility. Big hands and markers, all in khaki, are the signature of the line adding an earthiness to the palette that speaks to their purpose. Inside, the watches all feature M��hle standard over the top movement modification, making these a pretty unique offering. Of the three watches currently available, the Terranaut I Trail stands out a bit, as it has a
Introducing The Urwerk EMC: The First Mechanical Watch With Artifical Intelligence, Capable of Being
In Urwerk's never-ending mission to produce some of the most interesting and genre-bending mechanical watches on the planet, we now present you with the EMC, or Electro Mechanical Control.? We showed you the movement to the EMC here back at Basel, but now the watch has been unveiled, and it's a doozy.? The EMC is "the world's first precision mechanical watch in which the timing can be monitored and adjusted by the user, on the fly - essentially? It's interactive. 2 OF 6 So what does this mean specifically? Well the watchmaker's best friend is a device called a Witschi, which listens to the rhythm of the balance and displays the performance of the movement, how much a movement gains or loses in 24 hours.? The EMC essentially has a Witschi built into it (electronic, though manually wound!) so that the wearer sees how his was his running.? And, the EMC offers the wearer to adjust the watch on the fly to keep chronometric performance at its peak. 3 OF 6 EMC feat

Is Patek going away from deployant clasps on some complicatd watches?
I know people have commented on the fact that when Patek introduced the 5905 they removed the deployant claps in favor of the tang buckle (compared to the 5960P).However I recently saw a photo of the 5327 in the Revolution magazine and noticed it has a tang buckle, whereas the 5140 had a deployant clasp. Has any forum member seen the 5327 in person and can you verify that they indeed released the 5327 with a tang buckle?I wonder if this will be a trend or a cost saving measure. Personally I don't know if the 5327 with the thin 240 movement needs a deployant clasp, but it was nice to have one on the 5140.
Rolex Rotor Click
I have a Rolex Explorer 1 and I have noticed that when gently shaking watch near my ear winding it with the automatic rotor I hear a click that sounds similar to the click when manually winding via the crown. Is this normal?It only clicks every few seconds and clicks faster if I shake or move it faster and it clicks no matter how slowly I rotate the watch so I think it's just the mansping being wound but am worried it could be the rotor being lose or some cog clicking that should be lubricated.Anyone else have the same noise or something similar? I have very sensible hearing so maybe it's me being crazy!
