Jaquet Droz The Bird Repeater Watch + Video
I sat here pondering possible "bird" puns and idioms that might apply to an opening statement for discussing this extremely high-end and limited minute repeater automaton - and they all just felt really silly. No jokes need apply because this is a rather cool and serious timepiece by Jaquet Droz that allows you to use your imagination in making up your own nicknames for the Swiss brand's new "The Bird Repeater" timepiece.A couple of days ago we shared with you a?sneak, first-look at The Bird Repeater here.

There is a visceral hatred of this technology that was both so much more accurate and so much cheaper than mechanical movements.

Patek 5905P

For those who don't know it; it's an annual calendar and a 60 minutes chronograph in platinum:I think it's a beauty but then to acquire it I need to flip the 15407ST and the panda ROO as I've decided not to spend any cash on watches in 2017. Not sure what to do but Patek bug has bitten me. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that I'll regret the trade down the road. The 15407 is a beauty. Thoughts?
