Scuderia Ferrari One Watch By Cabestan
The big news this week in the watch world was the big deal between Ferrari and high-end watch maker Cabestan along with its designer Jean-Francois Ruchonnet. Cabestan is to make a limited edition collection of very high-end Ferrari branded watches. I briefly discussed the Ferrari / Cabestan watch deal here on Luxist. This comes just a few months after Ferrari officially broke ties with Panerai, who was previously given a license to make Ferrari branded watches. I discussed the termination of the Panerai/Ferrari relationship here. Panerai was making watches priced comparable to other Panerai watches in the $10,000 range (give or take several thousand) for most of the Ferrari watches. The Panerai name wasn't even on the dial. The watches were a market failure - bigger than you'd think when it came to the popular Ferrari name. Now, after the ink is about dry on all the termination documents with Panerai, Ferrari has chosen a new partner with Swiss brand Cabestan. Seen here is an image of

Hands-On: The Montblanc 4810 Orbis Terrarum, A New Case Shape, Size, And Colourful Dial For The Mais
The newest version of the Montblanc "Orbis Terrarum" flew a little under the radar when it was introduced �C which happens when the timing coincides with a new Annual Calendar Chronograph with a list price of $10,450. But it's still odd given the reception its predecessor received when this model first launched at SIHH 2015. 1 OF 10 Montblanc's new world timer, the 4810 Orbis Terrarum. The original Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum was exactly the kind of watch we want to see more of �C a simple, yet elegant complication with an in-house module for under $7,000. So we were thrilled when Montblanc decided to show more of it, 12 months later, this time in the 4810 collection. 2 OF 10 Originally presented in a 41 mm stainless steel or red-gold case, the Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum is Montblanc's take on the classic world time function.

OEM Brown Alligator Strap
Does anyone know what the OEM brown alligator strap for a Speedy 3570.50 looks like? Does anyone have it. My AD referenced it today as a replacement for the black strap I have on it currently, but I didn't know anything about it. I am hoping Thetis something in medium brown with white or cream stitching.

In the wild...
I was really giddy walking around the streets and spotting pateks and rolex this weekend in Rome. Italians love their watches, and I'd never seen so many out in the wild.... Even 2 5711's.... Just strolling down the road!The first comment made to me by an Italian was of my milgauss as I was at the airport arranging a ride to the hotel.... The man just had admiration in his eyes and showed me his tag Monaco and started telling me about his rolex love...I saw a tourbillion rose gold royal oak in Venice last year... Its great! Who else has been pleasantly surprised to see a rare bear out and about?
