Parmigiani 114 Watch Features Telescopic Hands In Homage To Antique Timepiece
I presume the above watch (update: called the Parmigiani Ovale I believe) will be officially released very soon (SIHH 2012 at the latest). It will actually be unveiled (not sure in its complete form) at a special "Mechanical Wonders" exhibition Parmigiani is involved in held in New York City from around October 26 - November 26 2011 (at the La Vieille Russie) . As you can see, the special novelty is a modern recreation of a complication that is over 200 years old - and the original solution to the short hands problem!I believe that I have actually seen the antique pocket watch below at some exhibit in Europe. Signed by Vardon & Stedmann, the beautiful piece is in an oblong gold and decorated case with an enamel dial. The real fun is in the hands. The watch makers created two telescopic hands that automatically get longer or shorter depending on where they are pointing to on the dial. Even back then there were people like me who hated short hands, and didn't want to limit themselves

Azimuth Xtreme-1 Collection Watches
I really like a lot of what Azimuth does (even though some of it is really weird), and their functional pieces are pretty great as well - including these watches here. But most of the new Xtreme-1 collection watch have the name of "Sea Hum." Who OKed that name? It sounds like a bad sailor's song. "Not again with the bloody sea hum Morris!" I met with Azimuth and checked out then neat watches.The Xtreme-1 collection includes three new Azimuth watch models. This includes the SEA-HUM 3TZ (three time zones), the SEA-HUM GMT, and the Xtreme Deep Diver (with the latter being the best or worst watch depending on how you see it).The collection is done in honor of a Mexican explorer Fernando Lozano. I am not sure who he really is or what he does, but he climbs real high, and dives real low. Maybe if I was a Latin spelunker I would know who he was a bit better. He says that he needs a watch like this, does that mean you need one as well? Probably.SEA-HUM 3TZ and GMT are basically the same watch

Mis-Aligned Markers
I just purchased this 2508 and after getting home with the watch I noticed the markers aren't perfectly lined up with their corresponding dots. They're slightly offset to the left. I notice it most at the 11 o'clock markerI've been looking at a bunch of other 570's and 2508's and it looks like this isn't extremely uncommon. Is this mis-alignment evidence of a dial restoration? Are there original dials that left the Patek factory like this? I bought this piece from a very reputable vintage Patek dealer who believes the dial to be original but would really appreciate some other opinions. Thanks in advance! https://imgur/a/HbFuk
