If you watched this year’s Triple Crown horse races and witnessed American Pharoah’s thrilling, historic victory, you may have been wondering which wristwatch was presented to the winning jockey by official timekeeper Longines. If so, wonder no more: it was the Longines Conquest Classic Moonphase, which debuted at Baselworld 2015 and added a new complication to the Longines Classic Conquest collection.

Watch Wallpaper: 5 Amazing Views Inside the A. Lange & S?hne Cabaret Tourbillon
In the photo essay “Through the Looking Glass” in WatchTime’s December 2008 issue, we took readers inside the micro-mechanical wonderland of A. Lange & S?hne’s Cabaret Tourbillon. Now these exclusive images by photographer Jorg Wischmann are available as downloadable wallpaper for your computer’s desktop.Click on each image for the larger version. Explanations of the technological detail in each photo are in the captions.Like little arrows, these golden screws point toward the balance spring inside the balance. The screws are used to finely adjust the mechanism. If the duration of each oscillation of the balance needs to be shortened, milling miniscule amounts of metal from the screws' heads can reduce their weight. The opposite result can be achieved by inserting tiny washers. Lange manufactures these tiny screws to a tolerance of two micrometers and then plates them with gold.This blued steel screw keeps the intermediate-gear cock in its proper place

Any other?
OK, Basel is here (well just about!). And now that it is... A thought just crossed my mind? What other industry/company (it's not just Rolex) are able to enjoy a ten year+ product life cycle? And, the product (I'm sensing that the Coke GMT on a jubilee is the most anticipated) that is getting the most people excited is a decade plus old model being reunited with a part from the seventies!!!We all know the other ultra hot non Rolex models AP5202, PP 5711, both models 40 years old. What other luxury product that contains mechanical and aesthetical components can endure this lifecycle?Are we all mad?

New font on Submariner dial?
Hello guys.I need you guys opinion. I am not a Rolex expert so I am still confusing about this matter.I just got a new Sub no-date from my local Rolex AD today. What I found is the difference of dial fonts. I compared it with the picture of my old Sub no-date (early 2017).The letters in ROLEX and SUBMARINER on the new one become bold and different font as you can see the two pics as below. And f in the ft letter and = mark is different. This is the old one I had.This is the new one I got.What I am concerning is if my watch is not 2018 one. Or all 2018 Subs have the same dial font with mine? The AD said the watch is 2018 brand new one and they just received it from Rolex. But I have no idea any dial font changes in recent Subs.Any advice will be truly appreciated. Thank you for taking your time to read my post.
