Hublot Limited Edition Supports Medical Research
Hublot has teamed with the oldest automobile club in the world – the Automobile Club de France (ACF) – to create a limited edition timepiece to benefit the Fondation ICM (Institute for Cerebral and Medullary Disorders). This is the first partnership with a major brand for the ACF, which was founded in 1895. One of the founding members of the Fondation ICM is Jean Todt – a name well known to auto racing enthusiasts. Mr. Todt is the president of the FIA (F��d��ration Internationale de l'Automobile) – the governing body for Formula 1. The FIA is headquartered at the Automobile Club de France. Together, Hublot and the ACF developed the Aero Bang Drive ACF, a black chronograph with the ACF’s colors. A black ceramic case and bezel surround a skeleton dial, through which one can glimpse the movement beneath. A contribution from each watch sold will be donated to the fundamental and clinical research carried out by the ICM. The edition is limited to 250 pieces.Techn

10 Things You Should Know About Wrist Watch Auctions
Watch auctions and dedicated timepiece auction houses are more popular now than ever before, and we'd like to try to explain what you need to know before becoming a potential auction bidder. Without a doubt, it is an exciting time to be a watch lover, because the world is talking about timepieces more than ever. On the one hand, you have the gradual emergence of the smartwatch industry that, despite concerns from some low-end brands, will likely have the outcome of making people notice wrist watches more than the general public has in the last 20 years. On the other hand, you have a new form of financial investment mentality surrounding the exciting world of high-end luxury watch auctions and the rising ceiling of potential values, as well as the apparent expanding pool of potential watch buyers. The result isn't just an increasing frequency of watch-themed auctions, but also entire new businesses dedicated to bringing more watches to auction for more people.I would go so far as to say

APSC Clearwater Service
On January 18th, my CE44 crown fell out while trying to adjust the time. I called APSC Clearwater right away. I explained to Stacy that I was leaving out of the country and needed to get the watch to them before I left.She got me a return package to me the next business day. I shipped the watch out on January 22nd and was off to Europe. I got an email on January 31st letting know that the watch would be repaired under warranty and could take 4 weeks to complete.I figured that is pretty standard and went about my vacation. To my surprise, I get an email from APSC on Feb 8th letting my me know the repair was finished. I arranged for shipping for this coming Tuesday.I was pretty impressed at how quickly they turned around the repair. Kudos to Stacy and the APSC team!

Not happy!
I have just bought a new speedy in Miami at an AD and when I got home, I have noticed a stain on the edge of the dial. I am totally disappointed. Would like to hear opinions on my options. Is it too much of a long shot to demand a new one. Going back to Miami is not possible. I attach pics. Thank you for any input.

Wow not many watches make an AP look small.
I've been wanting a Panerai for the last few months so my dealer got this in for me to try. At 47mm it's a very big watch but sadly I think it's just too big, my AP feels small in comparison. Anyway the fun in choosing a new watch is always narrowing down the search to the perfect watch and finding the one.I'd welcome any advice from the experts!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
