Wyler GMT – The First Carbon Neutral Watch
Wyler Geneve touts its new GMT as the world’s first and only watch to be certified CarbonNeutral? by the CarbonNeutral? Company. The certification means that all production elements and stages have been analyzed and their carbon emissions calculated, including all energy used, all waste generated, and all transportation required to bring the watches to the company's headquarters. The resulting emissions are then offset through projects managed by the CarbonNeutral? Company. Wyler Geneve has also rendered all operations from its Geneva headquarters CarbonNeutral?.

Doomsday Coming For Wrist Watch Retailers?
Watch brands are systematically killing off their network of authorized dealers that historically have helped them so much. One by one, retailers get ominous letters in the mail informing them that a long-term partner will no longer be sending them inventory. Why are the major watch brands doing this? And what does this mean for the future? Read on...After years of struggle, and a complex accumulation of factors, the industry of selling watch is about to rapidly change. It isn't so much a matter of a black and white distinction (in terms of one thing is totally in and another thing is totally out), but the old business model is more or less - dying a slow, painful, and less than quiet death. Here is how it used to be - for well over 100 years. Watch brand sells watch at wholesale rate to watch retailer (known as the authorized dealer). Watch retailer sells the watch for the retail price and keeps the difference as its profit (usually about 50%). In exchange for buying watches from the

Introducing The Vacheron Harmony Chronograph, Featuring A New Manually-Wound, In-House Mono-Pusher C
Vacheron is in the running for top announcement of the show with its incredible Harmony ultra thin, self-winding mono-pusher rattrapante chronograph, but the Harmony line doesn't begin and end in the mid six-figure range. No – there is an entire line of Harmony watches, and perhaps the most appealing to pure horology fiends will be this: the new Harmony Mono-Pusher Chronograph featuring the caliber 3300, the product of seven year's of development. 2 OF 7 Taking inspiration from a historical Vacheron Doctor's chronograph from 1928, this piece is certainly vintage inspired with its cushion shaped case, mono-pusher activation, and pulsation dial. But don't be confused for one moment – this is pure cutting-edge craftsmanship that just happens to revere its roots with a traditional architecture. 3 OF 7 The Caliber 3300 features some thoughtful traits that tells us once again that Vacheron is here to play, including a 65-hour power rese

Full Rose gold Royal oak chrono black vs Rose gold black roc on strap
How many of you guys upgraded to the Rose gold roc on bracelet after owning a rose gold roc on strap? Does it make more sense to purchase a full rose roc on bracelet and then purchase a separate strap if wanting to interchange between bracelet and strap? Heard that buying a rose gold bracelet for a roc can cost around $25k. Is this accurate?Does the full gold roc hold value well?ImageUploadedByTapatalk1456627023.187843.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1456627042.454941.jpgSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am very disillusioned at the moment with Omega
I posted a while back, excited that my new speedmaster (2 sub dial 2011 version on Alligator strap) was due in to my AD in a day or 2. Well that was around 3-4 weeks ago and still no watch. I phone constantly to find out the latest news of it's arrival only now to be told I am 13th on a list and it could be December.However the last 2 weekends I have travelled to London to visit 2 Omega Boutiques:- Old Bond Street and Regent Street and whilst there Harrods watch dept and low and behold they not only have one Speedmaster but at least 2 of them that I have physically seen. Why Does Omega insist on giving all the new watches to Boutiques (and Harrods, which is not a Boutique) to be just sitting in safes and display units when watch collectors like myself with outstanding orders for them cannot get one? I'd love to know what you guys think and perhaps you shed some light on this for me. Thanks
