VicenTerra Luna Watch
Are you ready to support the semi-crowdsourced VicenTerra Luna watch? The last time I heard from the very-boutique Swiss watchmaker VicenTerra was when the watchmaker in charge was thanking me for writing about his first watch, the GMT-3 back in 2010. Back then their first watch could be had for an incredible deal (comparatively speaking) if you were one of the first to order it. Regular price was 15,000 Swiss Francs but if you were one of the first, the price of the VicenTerra GMT-3 was only 5,000 Swiss Francs. That of course was assuming they had a minimum order requirement - and apparently they did. Now, almost four years later, VicenTerra released word of their second watch, and it will be similarly based on a pre-order model.The deal isn't as sweet as before, but the watch is arguably more elegant and beautiful, even though the theme is the same. The watchmaker behind the GMT-3 and now the Luna is Mr. Vincent Plomb. In addition to being a rather impressive watchmaker, Vincent is a
Creating The Horological Machine: An Interview With MB&F Founder Max B��sser Part 2
Contributed by David BredanRead part 1 of the interview here.MB&F has been playing a major role on the stage of high-end watch making for several years now. However, just like with every blockbuster's premier, the public's keen attention?is there, but the limelight only shows the final production; and who wouldn't ever wonder just what's going on behind the scenes? In the first segment of this three-part interview, Maximilan B��sser told us about exactly that! We found out how he got involved?in the seemingly sleepy world of watch making, and we gained a unique?insight into just how difficult it is to get a main character's position.Now, in Part 2 we get to see how he managed to continue after all the massive early challenges, what are his fundamental (and as we will see, very unique to the watch making world) values and motives behind every new act of MB&F, the obstacles these create, how and why in his opinion the public's perception has changed about their work, and we receiv

AP RO 'Jumbo'Movement Differences?
Folks, i've recently become interested in picking up a Jumbo and a quick google has revealed that the 15202 comes as a variant with either the fabled 2121 movement or the newer in house 3120 movement.Question to those in the know, how can one tell cosmetically which movement is which? Are there any obvious cosmetic differences between the two? Is it obvious which movement is which?
Anyone Had PO Polished/Repaired?
Any PO owner experience a accidental drop incident and then had the victimized watch repaired by an authorized Omega service center? Had my mishap when a wasp gave me a painful sting on the palm of my left hand -- whipped my arm about in response to the sting and the watch went flying. Abraded scratches on the metal band and screw-down crown. There not bad and should polish out. I'd love to see some examples of re-polishing and repair. Please make me feel better. Thanks, Scott
