Concord presented another technological innovation
Amid the 500 speaker surround-sound system, 100 screens and impressive intelligent mirrors of their new Regent Street store in London on Tuesday night, Concord presented another technological innovation: The Britain, their first automatic watch. As with any event thrown by the label, they managed to not only attract a stellar crowd (Roo Panes, Gabriella Wilde, Victoria Pendleton), but also entertain them with an acoustic soundtrack, including a live set from Ren Harvieu, one of the latest inductees into the Concord Acoustic pantheon.

Hands-On with the Melbourne Portsea Heritage
Almost one year ago I had the pleasure of reviewing the Melbourne Watch Company's Portsea models. A play on Marine chronometers, these nautically themed watches had great style, unique elements, a cool movement with calendar complications and a great price. They were, and still are, one of my favorite casual watches under $1,000. By taking a classic style and adding some modern elements, namely a layered dial that utilizes ceramic discs, they created something very successful and very wearable.To follow up the first series, Melbourne has taken the interesting approach of making a more stripped down and therein more affordable version with the Portsea Heritage.

Patek and LE Coultre "Barn Finds"

My uncle just purchased a home. He had a ton of trouble dealing with the seller, but they finally made a deal.When my uncle went to the house after the owner vacated, there was a hole in the ground in the backyard that was definitely not there before. In the hole was a large open safe with its contents emptied except for another medium sized safe which he left (I am guessing intentionally, as it is impossible to miss a medium safe inside a large safe). My uncle had the safe opened, and in addition to some silver coins from the 1800s and gold rings, there were 2 watches. One Is a Patek, the other a LeCoultre Mystery dial. I was wondering if anybody can tell me the reference number of the Patek. It looks a lot like the 2552, but seems to be smaller than 36mm and the indicies are different from the 255

New Prices List?
