Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Rising Hours Watch
SIHH 2013 will see the release of a brand new version of the now well-known Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec watch. I find it rather interesting to see how Montblanc continues to explore and expand this collection that started the in-house made Montblanc movement watch collection. Made in Le Locle, timepieces like the Nicolas Rieussec collection represent the in-house made mid-range of watches in the Montblanc collection. Above them are the Minerva Villeret produced Montblanc watches.The Nicolas Rieussec Rising Hours evolves the design of the dial to play around with the complications once again. Gone is the second time zone, but added in is a day of the week indicator opposite the date. The off-centered time display is where the real difference can be found. Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec watches typically have day/night (AM/PM) indicators, but this model offers this function in a much more beautiful way.

Is the new ROO 44mm Chrono White Ceramic Boutique Only???
I tried on this new beauty recently in a Europe AP boutique and haven't quite been able to get it out of my mind. Pictures don't come close to doing it justice.

Seamaster Planet Ocean Ladies Chronograph
Now I think there was a topic on this a while back here but not sure how much info / pictures were attached. A great new ladies watch from Omega on the way. Pictures of this watch came about during Basel 2009. There is a write up on the new Planet Ocean Chronograph in Omega Lifetime (4th issue seen below):From - omegawatchesAll of the issues can be seen here:.omegawatches/index.php?id=1113Omega is yet to updated their model listings on the site, and the magazine article does not list a model number. It is known for sure though that this watch is a 37.5mm Planet Ocean Chronograph for the Ladies. This watch has the same Co-Axial caliber 3313 movement from their larger models. As of this moment I do not know the MSRP, but expecting it to cost less than the bigger, mens models. Same depth rating as the other versions, 600M. Also herd that it will be just like those bigger models and offer both Chronograph (seen below) and non Chronograph. In my opinion think it is one heck of a watch for t

Panerai Service Contact information
I have a Panerai 275 that has been in for service for 3 months. I amlooking for some contact information for upper management. Maybe thismight help. Maybe a brand manager. I found the name Hans Dekkers.I am not sure if he is in the US or not. Here is a copy of the last emailI sent:Here is a copy of the last email I sent on Nov 19, with no response:Kristie,I am completely frustrated by the way the service of this watch has been handled. I hadanother Panerai in my collection serviced last year with excellent results (service reference no 10886419/1).The watch was delivered as promised and looked new.The purchase and subsequent warranty work has been a fiasco. This watch is a premium luxury item witha retail price of $18900.00. I used the watch sparingly and only had used it for three month before it had tobe sent to be serviced. I sent the watch to Fort Worth Service Center where it sat for 3 weeks. I finallycontacted the Service Center and spoke with Tremain. He initially could not lo
