Capeland 10088 is Baume & Mercier’s First Limited Edition for U.S.
Baume & Mercier traces its founding all the way back to 1830 in Geneva, but it has never created a limited-edition watch for the U.S. market until now. The Capeland 10088, limited to 250 pieces and sold exclusively at select Tourneau stores nationwide, will be the first, making its debut this fall.The Capeland 10088 is distinct from other watches in Baume & Mercier’s popular Capeland collection due to its copper-colored dial.

Time Spec: Seiko 7A28 RAF Gen 1 Chronograph

Your Thoughts on the 1957 reissue of Speedmaster
HiMy current Omega collection includes the Omega Seamaster from the 50s/60s that were bequeathed to me by my parent. The said collection had me thinking about going for a vintage Omega Speedmaster but was too afraid to take the plunge especially with the current price as well as availability of said vintage timepiece.With Baselworld 2017, I am heartened to note that Omega is releasing the Trilogy collection with said timepieces also available individually.
