Roger Dubuis Introduces Hommage Minute Repeater Tourbillon Automatic
The new Roger Dubuis Hommage Minute Repeater Tourbillon Automatic, unveiled at the Watches and Wonders Fair in Hong Kong, features a trio of technical attributes: a minute repeater with new gongs, a flying tourbillion with a new cage, and twin micro-rotors in hand-guilloch�� rose gold. Let's take a closer look.Minute repeaters originated long before either electric lighting, or luminous markings on dials and hands, were invented.

Today, this functionality is no longer required, but collectors appreciate fine minute repeater watches as paragons of the watchmaking art.The slide at 9 o'clock activates the minute repeater.The Roger Dubuis Hommage Minute Repeater Tourbillon Automatic showcases gongs designed to improve the quality of the chime thanks to a combination of a new shape �C square rather than the traditional round, and new materials.

The Trio
And then there were three... Have a great weekend!

15300 for everyday piece?
I've owned a blue 15300 for almost a year and have worn it sparingly. This beauty needs some wear! I have favored a few Rolex and IWC pieces for daily wear, but am thinking this should be put in the mix. If I was to knock it or scratch it, what's the worse that can happen? I'm not planning on wearing it like a g-shock, but am on the move constantly.

Omega question.......
As a Rolex owner I must profess to not knowing a lot about current Omegas, although I do own an oldish (80's) Seamaster.I am very attracted to the Constellation line but need a bit of info, which I can't seem to find on the Omega website.Can anyone explain the difference between a Double Eagle and an ordinary mechanical Omega chronometer?I can see myself with one on my wrist before much longer, but need some insight, to help me make the right choice.Thanks, from the dark side...........
