Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair 2012: We'll Be There
One of the most interesting watch fairs in the world is the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair?(put on by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council). Celebrating its 31st year, the 2012 fair will run from September 5 - 9 at the Hong Kong Convention Centre. This year aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer will be there, checking out the "world's biggest timepiece event." Is it bigger than BaselWorld? I will let you know. BaselWorld is rather massive and I've never actually been able to see it all. I am calling for recruits to help me divvy up next year's event. Serious horological explorers can contact me.Hong Kong is really one of the major centers of the watch world, for a number of important reasons. China is the largest manufacturer of watches and watch components. Most people know that many Swiss brands rely on Chinese suppliers for everything from cases and straps to boxes and presentation displays. Hong Kong is also one of the world's most active watch buying centers. The Hong Kong Watch & Cl

Ulysse Nardin Moonstruck Watch
This is the newest celestial watch from Ulysse Nardin. Announced about a year ago, I wanted to wait until closer to when you might be able to get one before discussing it. I believe that it is the most polished and refined of their celestial watches yet - even though it is not the most ambitious in terms of the information it displays. You can read about at least two other Ulysse Nardin celestial information watches I discussed here, and here. A celestial watch in short is a timepiece that provides information about something happening off of Earth. This usually involves something about the placement of the sun, moon, or planets in the solar system. Once in a while you get other information that is related such as equinoxes and other such periods.I've had trouble reading more celestial watches because A) I am not used to reading information like that, and B) because I am not an astronomer.

Question for you Speedmaster experts...
I have a vintage Speedmaster. I'm not sure exactly how old, because I long ago misplaced the serial number, but it's got to be 30 years old if it's a day. Anyhow, it needs a complete overhaul. Also, when running the chronograph function, one press of the top pusher actuates the stopwatch function, and a second press resets the second needle to 12:00. The bottom pusher essentially does nothing. This is no doubt a result of it being dropped by a family member some years ago.My questions--What is a reasonable fee for the overhaul?-What is wrong with the movement, and can it be easily repaired?Thanks for your help!
