Cyrus Klepcys Alarm Watch With Chiming Alert
This is a timepiece for the serious collector, in my opinion, and the story behind the movement inside of the Cyrus Klepcys Alarm watch is, in many ways, just as interesting as the watch itself. To fully appreciate the Cyrus Klepcys Alarm watch that debuted this year in 2015, you also need to understand what companies are related to Cyrus, as well as the other watch that contained the same movement this year, and why that means the Cyrus Klepcys Alarm has to be a limited edition.The people who own Cyrus also own Chronode - a company that designs watch movements, run by Jean-Francois Mojon. We've featured and often celebrated the work of Jean-Francois Mojon over the years, and in a sense, he is a part of Cyrus given how closely they work together from both a proximity and business standpoint. One of Chronode's clients is Hublot, and in 2015, Hublot released the Big Bang Alarm Repeater watch collection that also contains this base movement.Hublot allowed Cyrus to produce some movements f

Still in love
I've had my 15202 a couple of months now... And I'm still as happy as I was day oneI really hope this continues to be the case, because I have flipped thru a lot of watches. But the feel I get from putting it on, staring at, and just owning it is unlike any otherThe closest I've got to this level of satisfaction was probably from my first rolex. It was a monumental experience and owning one after coveting for so long, was amazing. Somehow after perhaps working through a dozen or more watches, including some fairly elusive pieces, this one - hits the sweet spot, again...

My 2nd Omega - Planet Ocean
Just picked up a used PO, was on the lookout for a nd sub but the PO opportunity came up for a decent price and it's always a watch I've admired trying it on a number of times at ADs. Whilst the bracelet was in good condition I thought I'd swap it out to the oem rubber diving strap. Whilst I've only had it less than a week, I'm really enjoying it, actually even more than I thought I would...

Excuse my ignorance... (Sub availability/Basel)
Two topics of discussion:1. I live in the PNW. Is it just me or is the 116610LN Andy the 116610LV sold out at just about every AD? Is this the case around the country and where they are available are they marked up or still MSRP?2. My local AD referenced that something with the SubC may be revealed at Basel in a few weeks. Any truth to this? If it's a new color option or something minor, I think I'll pass. If it's a redesign, well, maybe that's worth waiting for.
