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. By sounding distinct notes for the hours, quarter hours and minutes, they allowed the owner to hear the time in the absence of light. 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.

LEGO Launches Wrist Watch Collection For Adults
We are proud to be the first to announce a new collection of LEGO brand watches for adults. That's right, LEGO, which has had a large collection of kids watches for years, will soon launch a comprehensive collection of timepieces for men and women in November 2013.
