Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Laptimer Watch With Dual Seconds Chronograph
This is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Laptimer, a brand new "RO Concept" that I feel may very well be the most striking Royal Oak iteration?since the Offshore Survivor. As its name suggests, this brand new, highly complicated movement was created to be able to measure and record a series of consecutive lap times. Such a watch?was commissioned?back in 2010 by Audemars Piguet ambassador and 7-time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher, and it took the?manufacture almost five years to come up with a solution �C and fit it into what else but the Concept case, dressed in forged carbon and titanium.In discussions with master watchmakers over the last few years, I have often taken the opportunity to ask, when creating a new movement from scratch,?what?complication is the most?challenging to conceive and produce.?I would venture saying that the single-axis tourbillon, no matter how tirelessly fascinating and beautiful,?was not once mentioned: it was more of a dead heat between chi

HourTime Show Watch Podcast Episode 132 - Yes, a Teenage Grandpa Tutor
Apparently this is the show about shameless self promotion. At least according to John. First I plug the limited edition straps I had Teenage Grandpa made for watches-dealer readers (which a few more of you should buy before they run out). Then we talk about the YES watch you can win this month by entering here on watches-dealer. After that we talk about a see-through Cartier watch and Tudor coming back to the US. Just before we stop, for kicks we laugh about the terrible looking (and named) U-Boat Unicum (a picture of which is below for laughs).Listen to the HourTime Show watch podcast episode 132 here.Download the MP3 

Jaquet Droz "The Writer" Automata: Awesome Antique Android
Watch brands like to pump up their history a lot. This is especially true in Europe where with age comes legitimacy. It also helps when your history includes impressive things. A lot of today's watch brands that bear vintage names don't always have the most interesting histories. Much of them can be summed up as "man X did in fact make watches or clocks 150 - 200 years ago." Two of the names that do come with a really impressive history are Breguet and Jaquet Droz (both conveniently owned by the Swatch Group now).Breguet is well considered to be the father of modern watch making. If you study his work and are lucky enough to see some of his surviving creations you'll see why. Pierre Jaquet Droz on the other hand is remembered not only for producing incredibly impressive technology, but also for his showmanship. He helped create many of the marketing techniques that high-end watch makers still use today to market and sell their products. Looking back at his work and legacy, his produc
