Ulysse Nardin Hourstriker “Horse” Limited Edition
Ulysse Nardin is one of the few high-watchmaking maisons in the modern era to produce watches with jaquemarts �� tiny automatons mounted on a watch dial that strike the hours on a bell. The brand’s latest, debuting at Baselworld 2016, is the Ulysse Nardin Hourstriker “Horse,” a limited edition of 28 pieces paying tribute to one of the most majestic of animals.The watch �� which follows up other notable jaquemart timepieces from UN, such as 2013’s Carnival of Venice and last year’s Hannibal Minute Repeater �� has a genuine black onyx dial and is available in either an 18k rose gold or platinum case, each measuring 43 mm in diameter. Positioned between 10 and 12 o’clock, and 1 and 3 o’clock, are two hand-carved, equine jaquemarts, which move together in synchronicity with the sounding of the watch’s chimes, activated by a hammer striking a gong. The Hourstriker “Horse” is a sonnerie en passant, which chimes every hour and half-hour

Dievas Vortex Professional Watch
Dievas is following up the original Vortex with this Vortex Professional. I always liked the original Vortex. It more or less combined the best features of a dive watch with the best features of an aviator watch. For many people, this is the ultimate "mission" timepiece.Two years after the original Vortex was released the Professional seeks to improve upon the tool-like nature and legibility of the watch. I think that for many people the original Vortex is going to be more of a "style" watch, but the Professional is just that - for more serious situations where durability and legibility are essential.The Professional has a 44mm wide grade 5 titanium case coated in black DLC - which is very scratch resistant. It still has the rotating diver's style bezel and the good-looking case design. The watch is water resistant to 500 meters with a sapphire crystal. It also has an automatic helium escape valve. The dial is now all lume with the numerals and hands being in black. For style the trian

Perrelet Double Rotor Turbine Watch Collection
One of Perrelet's signature complications is offering various watches with two rotors - one on the back of the watch, and one on the front. After years of simply having the cool looking rotor oscillating on the face of watches, they started to get a bit more creative. The most recent iteration for a men's watch is this Turbine collection. Designed after the turbine on a jet engine, moving the watch around has the turbine vanes spinning as though the watch was about to take off.Other companies and played with this concept as a propeller, but Perrelet is taking it to the next level with the jet engine look. Cleverly hidden in the rear of the vanes are weights that help the assembly spin, but to the wearer's eye, everything look symmetrical. The turbine is crafted from 12 blades of titanium. Hidden between the spinning blades are luminous hour markers. To enhance legibility, the chapter ring of the dial includes minute markers and further hour indicators. The look is really sensational.

5960 vs 5170
Paid my AD a visit today and spent sometime comparing various 5960s and the 5170.I must say, at least today the 5960 won out. They had three 5960's there today. The 5960R-011, 5960P-015, and the 5960P-001. For my money the 5960P-015 wins hands down in my book. The grey dial is handsome for sure, but something about the blue dial is just simply gorgeous.
