Watch Experts Network: ‘Hublot Classic Fusion Aeromoon – watch review by ESCAPEMENT’
Removing the layersFollowing a recent extended period of acquaintance, Angus Davies provides an in-depth ��hands-on' review of the Hublot Classic Fusion Aeromoon. This watch is equipped with a self-winding movement and a skeletonised dial. Harrods, the prestigious retailer in Knightsbridge, is showcasing Hublot this month with an extensive exhibition.I am no stranger to the psychologist's couch. I have discussed at length the experiences of my formative years whilst lying in repose, freely disclosing aspects of my behaviour. I am obsessive about certain objects and openly confess to suffering from OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.As a professional watch journalist, I perceive OCD as a benefit, proving useful when examining each element of a timepiece. I will spend much time scrutinising lugs, crowns, dials and clasps with a loupe in my hand.Another trait I readily display is addiction. Thankfully, I am not tempted to excessively consume alcohol, nor have I ever been enticed to try dru

Introducing The Rotonde de Cartier Earth And Moon, A Tourbillon With On-Demand Moonphase Display (Li
Over the last few years, Cartier's Fine Watchmaking department has been consistently pushing out some of the most creative and technically impressive haute horology around. Just a few weeks ago we showed you the new Astrocalendaire and today we've got another stunner for you. The Rotonde de Cartier Earth and Moon uses its tourbillon and a moving Lapis Lazuli disc to display the phase of the moon on demand and there is a second timezone display as well. The Earth and Moon is as much a mechanical sculpture as it is a timekeeper and here we've got all the details.The Earth and Moon is not a subtle watch – far from it. The platinum case comes in at 47mm across and 16.65mm thick, with robust arching lugs. The dial is bright blue lapis lazuli with a white gold Roman numeral grid over the top that also features a map of the earth at the center.

APROO Strap change help
Hello all,I need some help. I have an APROO Grey Themes Titanium on a bracelet. Just love it. While at the boutique I picked up a rubber and a grey horn back straps for it. I am afraid of changing straps bc my tools won't budge the screws and I don't want to strip them. I even tried putting heat w hairdryer I loosen lock tight. But nothing. What tools and method do I need bc I want to change the look. Thanks,Roger

Boutique Visit
stopped into the Vancouver Omega boutique yesterday. Was looking at the new Planet Ocean LM. They only had one in stock for $5800. I was so tempted, thankfully the wife dragged me out before I pulled out my wallet. Wish I had taken some wrist shots. It is so shiny and I think nicer than the original.Also, took a look at the PloProf for comparison. What a heavy block of steel that is. Salesperson was nice enough to point out that the bracelet is shark proof, lol too bad my arm isn't. They wanted $9800 for the PloProf. A bit high for my tastes and a little to large on the wrist.

Panerai PAM 425.
Guys,I was looking at the 425 and noticed that there seems to be models with different coloured hands.I've seen one watch with gold outlined hands and another on with black outlined hands.Am I seeing this right?....Cheers,Geoff.
