Wednesday in Givrins, Switzerland at the Corinna Schumacher CS Ranch, Audemars Piguet unveiled its latest concept watch: the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Laptimer Michael Schumacher. Scroll down to learn more.In late 2010, F1 legend and Audemars Piguet ambassador Michael Schumacher posed an apparently simple question to the engineers at Audemars Piguet: would it be possible to create a mechanical wristwatch that would?make it possible to measure?consecutive lap times?This would be the first time a “brand ambassador” influenced the creation of a brand’s grand complication model and the creation of a?completely?new movement, at least for Audemars Piguet. The?Concept watch took?five years from conception to the final prototype, which is the world's first luxury watch to feature two angular indexing systems on a single chronograph, each with an independent “memory.”Unlike a split-seconds chronograph, in which both seconds hands run?simultaneously?until th

Introducing The Baume & Mercier Clifton Chronograph (Details & Pricing)
At the?Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in January, Baume & Mercier will introduce three new watches as part of its Clifton collection. All three are automatic chronographs, based on the very practical Valjoux 7750 movement. Mid-century design?paired with a modern case size of 43mm make these?an attractive proposition at an approachable price point, building on the same strengths as the rest of the Clifton watches. 2 OF 4 Baume & Mercier Clifton Chronograph The Clifton collection, first introduced earlier this year,?takes design cues?from vintage watches of the 1950s.?Though these chronographs are vintage-inspired, the contemporary Valjoux movement uses a coulisse-lever design rather than the more traditional column wheel mechanism as a way to make production more economical and the overall size and finish are definitely modern. 3 OF 4 A Closer Look At The Legible, Vintage-Inspired Dial The Clifton Chronograph?features a stainl

Introducing The Hublot King Power Unico GMT
You're looking at the most interesting Hublot in a good while.? The King Power Unico GMT is a little bit Girard-Perregaux ww.tc and a little bit Urwerk 103.? The watch uses rotating satellites to display several timezones at once, though the indication is made via small red lines on the outer dial.? The movement itself is pretty impressive, if not a little confusing, but then again, most world-timers are a little tricky to read.?The Hublot King Power Unico GMT will be available in black ceramic or 18K rose gold, both sized at 48mm.? These will hit the market sometime in early 2012.?(via Perpetuelle)

1966 14k solid gold seamaster value
Just curious what the going rate for a 1966 solid 14k gold seamaster is. Has a 14 gold filled original omega band with some wear to the plating and some stretch. Few scratches to the clasp. The dial is in great shape with only a few small spots. I have the original papers and box in great shape. It was my grandfather's watch since new and I'm wondering if I should be wearing it on a regular basis. If the value is too high I might go easy on it. The picture is not all that great but you can see the dial fairly well. Thanks!

Price of Seamaster Professional 2254.50 going up??
I have one I love but it is not gettng any wrist time so I listedet it for sale but have withdrawn it from the classifieds and it is out to Omega for a complete service.In watching the few that come up here and other sites for sale, it seems that the price for a 2254.50 in the secondary market is drifting upward a bit I think. Anyone else share this opinion?The 2254.50 does not seem to be nearly as commonly available for sale as it once was. I see far more Rolex Subs on the market.
