Inside The Manufacture: With Jaeger-LeCoultre In Switzerland, Pt. 1: The Very First Tourbillons Of JLC
The tourbillon hasn't exactly become ubiquitous, but there's an argument to be made that it may be, just a bit, a victim of its own success. To put it more exactly, the tourbillon may be a victim of the success of modern precision manufacturing methods, which have made it possible to produce tourbillon wristwatches that can be priced almost unbelievably inexpensively, relative to the prices the complication used to command. However, if there is one almost universally valid truism in mechanical horology nowadays, it's that it's not so much what you do as how you do it, and how Jaeger-LeCoultre did tourbillons – and continues to do them – is a microcosm of the evolution of the tourbillon, and the hopes we might have for its future.

In house ROC movement...
Would the price for a SS ROC with an in house AP movement go into the $30's? Where does everyone think the price point would be?

Vintage Omega pieces?
Hi,I'm looking to purchase my father, whom was born in 1963, an automatic watch from 1963. I don't want to spend more than $500, if possible. Have any of you seen anything out there for sale lately? If no Omega, any other popular manufacturers during that era? Thanks in advance!-Wes

I am done!
I have worked hard for this moment and I have to say that I am now done with buying watches. This is it!!!!!
