First Look: Emporio Armani’s New Mechanical Watch, the Armani Meccanico (Video)
Following in the footsteps of brands like Herm��s, Gucci, Chanel, and others, Emporio Armani has joined the growing club of fashion houses that are producing high-end watches with mechanical movements. Click here to find information on, and watch an official brand video for, the new Emporio Armani Meccanico collection, debuting this fall.Here’s what Emporio Armani has released on the new watch thus far: it will contain an automatic mechanical movement that undergoes a “wear-in process” in which it runs for 1,000 hours before completing quality control.

Stowa Takes to the Sea and Sky at Baselworld 2016
Regular readers of worn&wound know that we have a lot of love for Stowa. The popular German brand just gets it; clean design, superb construction and finishing, and a palatable price point make for a wholly appealing package. It's by no means a complex formula, but it's one that seems to elude some of the bigger firms. At Baselworld, we took the opportunity to meet with the man behind the brand, Mr. J?rg Schauer, to check out Stowa's novelties. If what we saw was any indication, 2016 will be a strong year for this German favorite.Flieger ProfessionalFirst up is the Flieger Professional. Designed by Hartmut Esslinger��who previously collaborated with Stowa on the Rana and the b2b series��the Flieger Professional is Stowa's latest pilot's watch and addition to its family of robust technical timepieces.Building on the the TO1 platform, Esslinger took a "retro-future" approach to the design to develop a unique visual take on a classic style.

omega deployant option - watch obsession version?

PO Chrono or Omega Broad Arrow
I have the opportunity to buy either a Planet Ocean Chrono or an Omega Broad Arrow at 40% off MSRP. This is because this AD is going out of business. Before tax, the PO would be $3540 and the Broad Arrow would be $4200. My questions to you are:1) Is 40% a deal to jump on considering it is from an AD2) Given the choice, which watch is the better buy?Thanks in advance for your help.[IMG][/IMG]
