Lang & Heyne Augustus I Watch Remembers Your Special Dates
Lang & Heyne out of Dresden, Germany will release a very interesting new calendar watch for 2014, called the Augustus I, named after the 19th century king of Saxony, Frederick Augustus I. The point of the watch is very unique: to have a sort of computational calendar that tracks the dates and anniversaries of 12 custom events or people�C and all in symmetrically attractive dial.Each Augustus I watch will be made to order per the specific wishes of each customer.

Panerai Crown Unwound Suddenly?
Hi gurus of this forum.Would like to seek your kind advice. Was winding my Pam000 as usual today. Was midway winding it (not nearing the end), when suddenly the crown started to unwound itself and spun freely anti-clockwise. Tried winding it back again to the end, everything acted normally as it should.What is the hell is going on? I shook the watch but couldn't hear any loose parts i.e. just in case something broke.Any kind souls can advise me? Thanks in advance.

Time adjustment by drop kick
Had my DJ41 since June...it ran at -2 spd when I first got it....I’ve dropped it 2 times accidentally of course. First time 3 months ago and it started running at -2.5....then 2 weeks ago dropped it on my Wooden floor and kicked it as it landed, absolute panic that it would be knackered....not a mark on it and it now runs the best it’s ever been at -1 sec per day amazingly....any other folk with such experiences....I’ve been very lucky I’d say ��
