Cadillac Points To Luxury Watches Industry As Inspiration For 2013 XTS Car Design
[youtube youtubewatches-dealer/watch?v=RxrKyRarm4s]Much ink has been spilled when it comes to comparing wristwatches and cars, and it's an analogy I myself have drawn in articles. Most times, though, that comparison has been in one direction. ??A video we found from Cadillac shows us the comparison can actually be a two-way street.The video is really a PR bit for the design influences for Cadillac's new XTS model. While they call out other industries, it was very intriguing to hear them deliberately reference the watch industry - specifically, the luxury end of the market. Frankly, it's not a big leap to make, in either direction. Though it is interesting because historically (and still today) the watch industry very much borrows from automotive design when dreaming up new models. It is interesting to hear how the automotive industry is now in turn, looking to the watch industry.When it comes to a high-end car, we look for many of the same things we expect from a high-end watch. We exp

Hands-On: The New Patek Philippe Nautilus In Rose Gold Reference 5711R (Live Pics, Pricing, Availability)
Patek Philippe's showing at Baselworld 2015 was, in my belief, its strongest in years. We saw them show absolutely stunning updates to the 5170G (black dial, oversized breguet, leaf hands make a world of difference) and 5270 (now available in rose, and no more chin on existing g models). We also saw perhaps the best watch Patek has made since the 5970P in the 5370P – a platinum split seconds chronograph with a black enamel dial. OK, they also brought out the least Patek watch they've ever made in the 5524G but we've already covered that craziness here. One piece from Basel that we haven't talked about yet and is just now hitting authorized dealers is the new Nautilus 5711 in rose gold. 1 OF 6 The 5711 in solid rose gold is a watch that I bet many of you probably thought already existed – and it did, just without a gold bracelet. And if you know anything about Genta designs, these watches are simply incomplete if not on a bracelet. So, a 5711 in

Omega TV Seamaster: Before & After
As promised here is the latest on my Omega TV Dial Seamaster c.1979 21J Auto Cal 1022 project watch.Crystal, crown, datewheel and gaskets were replaced with Omega OEM parts. Deep service. Runs within one or two seconds a day using Emerald Time as my standard. It's actually running more accurate then my Sea Dweller :D

5712 moon phase changes at 10:00pm?
As many of you know, I recently bought a 5712A. I just noticed tonight that the moon phase actually changes around 10:00pm, rather than during the day. Is this true for all 5712s/240 movements?Interesting that the 324 movement definitely changes during mid-morning (approx. 11:00am) but the 240 changes in the evening. Has anyone else noticed this? For those that have, do you prefer it changing during the night, which technically isn't accurate for a few hours after the change (I think), or during the day?

Great pics of the 5711/1R
Looks stunning with a lovely chocolate dial, really want to try this one on.monochrome-watches/patek-...h-live-photos/
