Montblanc Villeret Grand Chronographe Enamel Dial Watch
Most people haven't followed Montblanc's ascension to a high-end watch maker like I have. The path they made from even making timepieces in the first place to where they are now is interesting, and only took about 10 years. Villeret 1858 collection watches are among their highest-end pieces and rely on Montblanc Villeret - which was formerly Minerva.

The enamel dial (here in blue) is quite amazing, and at 47mm wide - this isn't your usual petite classy timepiece. Oh, and the movement decoration is really good.See my full article on the Montblanc Villeret Grand Chronographe Enamel Dial watch here.See Montblanc and Minerva watches on eBay here.See Montblanc items on Amazon here.

Introducing The Lange 1 Tourbillon Handwerkskunst, Celebrating Lange's 20th Anniversary
Twenty years ago today, A. Lange & S?hne made history for the second time. Almost a half-century after their appropriation, the Berlin Wall collapsed, and Walter Lange slowly began to turn the deserted halls of the Glash��tte manufacture into a hallmark of excellence and admiration. Actually, the word "slowly" does a disservice to this horological tour de force. It wasn't slow at all. It was fast. To borrow a few words from Walter Lange, "there is something one should expect not only of a watch, but also of oneself. Never stand still." That's excellence if you've ever heard it.As readers and fans, you know what we mean. We've rarely published a Lange release without praiseful commentary pouring in. Everything from "they've dropped the mic again" to "time to rethink the trinity." Who could argue with such ovation? Is there a more recognizable dial than the one with an outsized date? Find me a watch-lover whose pupils don't dilate at the sight of untreated German silver. And before in-hou

Basel World 2012: Introducing The Tissot Heritage PR 516
This is a great looking new introduction for BaselWorld 2012 from Tissot.? The Heritage PR516 is a throwback to the PR 516 from the 1960s and 70s, one of Tissot's most favored vintage pieces.? To be specific, the Heritage PR516 is actually an homage to the Tissot Seastar PR 516 GL - and this new piece retains the same dial markings as the original.Sized at 40mm with a sapphire caseback (notice the rotor?) the Heritage PR516 will be available in steel or PVD gold and on either a leather racing strap or a steel big-hole bracelet as seen in the picture.?We don't have word on pricing yet, but it will be between $500 and $1000. FYI: If you like the looks of this new Tissot but prefer something vintage, we found an original Tissot PR 516 in NOS condition right here (no affiliation with seller).

Patek 5980 any owners?
I was at an AD in Greenwich & had an oppertunity to try this watch on... any owners on here & opinions?

What kind of spread does our Rolex AD offer?
My AD offers k-cup beverages, water and soda with a plate of cookies. I appreciate the thought. But with discounts evaporating, part of me thinks they should be able to spring for a real expresso machine.Curious, what do your AD's offer while you consider paying more for a watch than many pay for a car?
