In-Depth: Introducing The Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic 1958 (Live Photos, Full Specs, Official Pricing & Availability)
I get a lot of joy out of writing about new releases, but only those that I think are really well done. Frankly, it’s not often I can say that a brand new watch is offering you ( / me / us) a whole lot, but today, with this new Jaeger-LeCoultre, I can it say it and mean it. You’re looking at the new JLC Geophysic 1958 family. This 38.5mm watch will be available in stainless steel, rose gold, and platinum (all in limited numbers), features a heaping dose of vintage inspiration, and offers a lot of technology we want in a cutting edge piece of modern horology. Allow me to go into great detail on this one, because I think it’s worth it.

Introducing: Roger Dubuis Announces The Hommage Millesime Pocket Watches, A Series Of One Of A Kind
Roger Dubuis has just shared with us the beginning of a most interesting project and one that will undoubtedly attract a good deal of attention, as well as, perhaps, a bit of controversy. This is the Hommage Millésime project. The name means, approximately, Vintage Homage, and the idea is to take very high grade and complicated movement ébauches – generally from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when classical watch construction and finishing techniques really reached their pinnacle before beginning to be supplanted by machine and automated manufacturing and finishing tools – and to use them as the basis for making watches that reflect both the heritage of Roger Dubuis and the personal history of Mr. Roger Dubuis. 1 OF 4 Roger Dubuis himself is a watchmaker who began his professional life working in the restoration of rare and often very complicated vintage clocks and watches, and restoration remains a key aspect of his overall views on the

Navitimer 01 43mm / New leather strap
Hi guys I own a beautiful Navitimer 41mm with the calf leather band. It even enjoys as much, if not more, wrist time as my Rolex GMT2 Unfortunately the leather is wearing out and is starting to look a bit shabby. The leather strap with the folding clasp costs AUD$590 in Australia Any suggestions where to get a new original one at a good price? Or maybe a different brand but I'd prefer it to be as good or better quality as the original ones? Cheers from Down under! Ken

Funny Omega stories?
Ok, this started out as a question: Which Omega to wear on your motorcycle? I notice there seem to be, from the looks of the avitars, a number of riders (er, motorcyclists) out there. I would be worried about losing my baby if I were to wear any of my meager collection (2!). Any war stories about how your favorite sidekick holds up to The Ride? Any war stories about travels with your sidekick? *love 'em all, but Ducati and Triumph are my favs-Motorcyclist, hopefully returning to the fold soon
