3 Exceptional Boutique Watches We Found Outside of SIHH 2015
Every year at Geneva’s SIHH watch salon, a host of luxury watch brands (most of them owned by the Richemont Group) unveil their new timepieces to international retailers, collectors, and journalists. In recent years, other smaller, non-participating brands have set up shop outside of the SIHH in Geneva’s luxury hotels, displaying new models of their own. Here are three notable examples of such watches that we found this year.Manufacture Royale Androgyne Origine, 245th Anniversary Limited EditionNamed for the watch atelier founded by French literary icon Voltaire in 1770, this boutique brand is know for tourbillon watches with steampunk-influenced designs. The new Androgyne Origine commemorates 245 years since the foundation of the original Manufacture Royale. Its complex case is made up of 52 parts and is especially notable for its moving, flexible lugs that make the large timepiece eminently wearable on all types of wrists despite its rather large case diameter (43 mm).

P.E.A.R On Notice! Apple Zealots Stalinize European Media When "Monopoly" Mentioned
P.E.A.R (People Enraged by Apple Relations) wants you to be aware of this! Watch this video of a Benjamin Cohen, a correspondent from UK broadcaster Channel 4 in the UK interviewing Apple Senior Vice President of Worldwide Product Marketing Phil Schiller. After you watch it, keep reading this article.Disturbing? That is really the term that came to mind for me. In case you are confused, as is possible, Apple is refusing to answer a reasonable question regarding the possibility that iTunes can be considered to have a monopoly on, well several things. Specifically, how use of an iPod is forcefully linked to using iTunes. Here the reporter asks an innocent enough question to an Apple employee who at the very least should have some canned response to the question. Instead, Apple Zealots seem to appear from behind the scene for some good ol' fashion totalitarian style censorship with a happy face.

So I've been searching high and low for a new nautilus.While AD hasn't confirmed it yet, I should be able to get my hands on either 5711 in rose gold (on a bracelet) or 5726 in SS on a bracelet.Both will be new stock. The plan is to keep 5167 and add the new Nautilus to my daily rotation. (desk driver duties).Now to the question: which Nautilus 5711R or 5726/1A would make for a better daily watch?
