6 Things to Know About the Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb Hurricane Grand Voyage II
Christmas really comes to Geneva in January, when a host of watch brands present their new releases in the city and get a jump on the spring fair in Basel. One of Zenith's debuts this year was the Academy Christophe Colomb Hurricane Grand Voyage II: a new, richly decorated take on the Christophe Colomb model from several years ago. The watch has a number of distinctive features, so here we'll take you through what you need to know about Zenith's latest.1. That's not a tourbillon you're looking at.The dial opening at 6 o'clock might look like a tourbillon at first blush: the balance wheel is visible, and there's a bridge of sorts crossing the center of the aperture. But look again and you'll find Zenith's patented Gravity Control system. This gyroscopic mechanism facilitates consistent timekeeping: it keeps the balance in a horizontal position no matter how you turn the watch. Like the gimbals that would counteract the effects of gravity on classic ships' chronometers, the Gravity Con

Omega Hospitality Club?
Hi all - I recently spent a very enjoyable hour and a half at the local Omega boutique looking at a variety of Speedmasters. I really had a blast and was impressed by the knowledge and kindness displayed by the staff there. I do have a question about the Omega Hospitality Club I was told about. The gentleman mentioned some vague benefits to purchasing a watch from the boutique, from early screenings of James Bond films to wine tastings. My question is do you guys know any more about the Hospitality Club? What exactly is it? I know it's mentioned to make paying full retail more attractive to the consumer, but I was pretty unclear on what it actually included. Thanks in advance!

5712 craziness

Which complicated Nautilus?
I'm on the market for my first Patek. Since I'm a jeans+t-shirt or shorts+t-shirt wearing guy, I'd like to stick to the steel Nautilus line on bracelet. I also believe I can't pull off anything dressy, so a gold watch on a leather strap is not my thing. I'm not a fan of the Aquanaut, and also would like to stay away from the 5712 due to its asymmetrical dial. And I also would prefer to stay away from the 5711 since I already have or plan to acquire too many '70s design non-complicated (2 or 3-hand) watches, namely Ingenieur, Royal Oak 15202ST, GO Seventies Panorama Date, and probably the new 3-hand Overseas as well. Also, IMHO Patek is in its strides when it comes to building unique and/or interesting complications. So my choices are the 5726, 5980 and 5990 -- right now. Apart from the obvious best and wisest idea of just wait for the 40th anniversary, since it may bring something even better for you, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the current choices. Please note that currently I d
