Interview: The Shockingly Thin Piaget Altiplano Chronograph Explained By Piaget CEO Philippe Leopold
The chronograph is a decidedly difficult complication to produce – that much we know. After all, up until about 15 years ago there were less than a handful of manually wound chronographs in existence. Another great tenet of watchmaking is that of the ultra-thin movement, a specialty practically owned these days but nobody but Piaget. It was last December that we caught a glimpse of a truly extraordinary timepiece – the Piaget Alitplano Chronograph – a manually wound, in-house chronograph with fly-back mechanism and GMT function that was only 8.24 mm thick. As of today, this incredible watch is in stores, and we thought it was worth revisiting this incredible piece by allowing Philippe Leopold-Metzger, Piaget's global CEO, to explain it to you. 1 OF 3 2 OF 33 OF 3 The Piaget Altiplano Chronograph is currently in stores (as of this week) for $28,600. You can see more on this watch here, and stay tuned in the upcoming weeks for a detailed review

Breitling Smartwatch - B55
Has anyone seen Breitlings B55 Smartwatch?Looks their is very limited functionality. Connection to the smartphone enables receipt of notifications in the event of an email (with the time of receipt), a message (SMS, WhatsApp, with the time of receipt) or a telephone call (with the time of the call and if available, the name and telephone number of the caller). It is also possible to display the day's next appointment in hours and minutes. The watch memorizes 20 notifications with the time they took place.

60's Speedmaster Mark II
I just discovered my father has one of these laying around the house not being used... Just wondering what the value of something like this would be, If any at all. Also I heard this was the watch worn to go to the moon... very cool! Is there anything more I should know about these watches? I know the current Seamasters are great timepieces, Have they evolved much?Looks like this model (not my pic)

Current WG Pepsi BLRO owners should not be upset
I'm not sure why current BLRO Pepsi WG users would be upset over this years release of a SS Jubilee Pepsi. You have a Pepsi bezel with oyster, which seems to be favored over Jubilee (I prefer latter). This is the ONLY way to have a Pepsi with an oyster and will likely remain this way.You have the black dial, which in my opinion looks better than the new blue dial, I have yet to see a side by side but I always like the way the black contrasted with the bezel.With one of the shortest runs , 3 years I believe, and not really a hot seller, this is one is destined to be a collectors item and maintain its value. It's not a common watch.I'm not sure about this last item, but the BLRO bezel seems to be more detailed with the transition of colors, in the renderings it looks like the new SS just cuts off from one color to the other with no transition. If true I think the WG bezel is superior, this point is null if they are using the exact same bezel.The BLRO was a niche watch for someone who kno

Strap ideas for the BLNR
Hi all,I've been told I can expect my BLNR to come in within the next few months. I also had an AD place an order for a jubilee for me a few months back. Now that AD has said RUSA is pushing back on selling them a jubilee without a broken one needing replacement or sending in a head that would have had one (possibly wanting to service it too). While I haven't given up hope on getting the jubilee, I am looking at other options.First thing I did was purchase some custom end links to fill the gap between case and strap - those arrived yesterday. With the recent Jomashop Hadley Roma strap sale, I also bought a shiny black alligator strap with black stitching and a matte navy blue alligator with off white stitching. Those are pretty generic options that would work fine, but not really add much flare. I did see a picture of one on a mesh similar to the one I own already and though it looked great - but another watch friend hated it; just goes to show different strokes for different folks
