Dior Christal Myst��rieuse Watch: Art & Horology
Dior Horlogerie. You may have a preconceived notion of what to expect, just based on the brand association at play. It is Dior, after all. Having such a solid foundation in fashion and haute couture, you can guarantee a beautiful facade. But is that all there is?Absolutely not.This is a true piece of art.Although it's initial designs were just ok - Dior Horlogerie is now successfully asserting itself as a daring brand to watch. Many watch critics like to argue the credibility of watches associated with jewelry and fashion houses, and try to downplay their value. But with designers such as Victoire de Castellane, Kris van Assche, and, of course, John Galliano, you cannot simply write-off Dior as just a pretty watch.Pushing aside all inevitably comparisons to Chanel, it is exciting to see Dior step out on their own and reinvent their brand aesthetic for Dior Horlogerie - that is completely theirs.

Any recommendations for Edinburgh please?
I will be visiting Edinburgh soon and would like to ask for some recommendations of places to check out AP, PP, Rolex and possible shops selling pre-owned and other interesting watches.Thanks

Thanks guys, 27days and counting at + or - 0 zero seconds
I have been keeping track of my new Planet Oceans accuracy with a detailed log of its accuracy. On the wrist and off of the wrist resting positions have been noted. So far I am still at + or - 0 (Zero) seconds in 26 days and countingI This accuracy in unprecedented with any automatics I have ever owned or come across. My PO has beaten my Tag Heuer quartz 3 times now. (Tag seems to gain .50 seconds in 7 days) I have been tracking it with the official time sites noted at the bottom. From what I have noted so far. My watch gains about 1/8th to 1/4 a second all day on my wrist. It loses the same with a face-up resting position at night. When I bought the my new Planet Ocean I would have been happy with + or - 3 seconds in 24hrs. I would have been ecstatic with + or - 1.5-2.0 seconds in 24hrs. At this point I am giddy beyond belief.tycho.usno.navy.mil/simpletime.htmlandtime.gov/timezone.cgi?Eastern/d/-5/java
