New From Vulcain: Cricket Anniversary Heart Calendar and Nautical Heritage LE
Vulcain is introducing two new watches: an 18k rose gold Cricket Anniversary Heart Automatic Calendar, and a Nautical Heritage Limited Edition that celebrates the 50th anniversary of a historical dive watch with mechanical alarm. Find details and prices inside. For 2011 Vulcain presents the Anniversary Heart Automatic Calendar in a 42mm 18k rose gold case. The anthracite metallic sapphire dial provides a view of the 257-part Cricket Calibre V-22 from the manufacture in Le Locle. A cut-out reveals the date at 6 o’clock. This latest version of the Cricket alarm movement is equipped with two barrels: one to powers the timekeeping functions, and the other the alarm, which rings for a full 15-20 seconds. The escapement ticks at a classic 18,000 vibrations per hour. The unidirectional oscillating weight is fitted with a ceramic ball bearing mechanism, and the movement is visible through a sapphire caseback.Additional information appears at the end of this article.The Anniversary Heart

N.O.A Watches At Baselworld 2010
An underdog watch brand that I really like is N.O.A. Funny how Americans says the letters out (as it is actually an acronym) for "none of the above," but in Europe they seem to say it like it is a word. I met with N.O.A ("NOA") in Baselworld to check out their pieces and was really impressed. The presence the watches have is really interesting, and they are very comfortable to wear. Some of them are going to be an acquired taste, but few can say that they aren't pretty pieces. I have been especially interested in some of their more sporty pieces such as the Scyllis diver, and the prototype of their new Skandar watch (seen at the bottom here). These are just a sampling of their new pieces.NOA watches are very bold but fresh feeling in their design. The men's and women's models have a grace to them that isn't common in many avant garde watches. Chalk it up to good design and an attention for detail and fine materials. At the top here are two of the brands new limited edition pieces. Firs

When was the platinum dial YM discountinued?
Just curious.....

Changing bezel.
Quick question, can I buy a different color bezel/ insert to put on my sd43? Just to spice it up with the seasons.Like green etc ..where can I purchase that? Does it have to be custom made or would the sub..insert work? Or is it a different diameter? All together. Just curious if it can be done.Thank you. Also would a jubilee bracelet of any kind fit the sd43? Exploring possibilities. Thanks.Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk
