SIHH 2015: New Baume & Mercier Watches (Updated with Live Photos and Prices)
Among its new releases at SIHH 2015, Baume & Mercier has launched two new models in its rectangular-cased Hamptons collection and a new complication in the recently launched Baume & Mercier Clifton family.The Baume & Mercier Hampton, with its Art Deco-inspired, curved-rectangular case, marks its 20th anniversary in 2015 with two new references in steel, each containing a Swiss-made, automatic mechanical movement. The watch’s case measures 31 x 47 mm and has a thin, subtly tapered profile (just 10 mm thick), which follows the curve of the wrist and makes for an easy fit under the cuff of a dress shirt.

Romain Jerome Watches + DeLorean Motor Company
They are coming soon - the Romain Jerome DeLorean DNA watches. Swiss Romain Jerome has partnered with DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) - now based out of Texas - for some interesting new upcoming timepieces. The watches will all share the core Romain Jerome DNA philosophy of honoring fascinating events and items from our history with timepieces that actually each contain trace amount of items from those events. In this case the watches are said to contain sheet metal from the original car bodies.A pop culture icon solidified for eternity by the 1985 film "Back to the Future," the story of the DeLorean DMC-12 and the company behind it is a fascinating tale unto itself. Existing automobiles are highly collectible and regularly restored. As a car the DMC-12 never quite lived up to its potential due to the failure of the company at the time, but as a design item it almost epitomizes an era. Romain Jerome spent a lot of effort seeking out a partnership with DMC, which recently became a reality.
Any and all options for changing a gold (YG or RG) 39mm Chrono RO's band to strap?
Howdy all, I am in the market for a 39 mm rose or yellow gold RO chrono with a bracelet. I want the option to change from bracelet to strap. From reading a post or two I understand you need the end links and screws with caps for an aftermarket strap.... however, where do I get solid gold end links to connect from the case to the strap? Also, I need a clasp or deployment. I saw there is a conversion kit via the ap bands website for yellow gold models, but its 500 bucks and gold plated... not solid. Im not really interested in gold plated.Anybody have additional suggestions for aftermarket options for the links and clasp? Or anybody have an OEM version they are looking to sell? THANKS A MIL
