HYT H1 Hyrdo Mechanical Watches Start Shipping + Mini Interview
The much anticipated and highly fawned over HYT H1 Hydro Mechanical watch is now shipping to retailers globally. Just the fact that HYT is telling us this is a good sign. Why? Well when we go to shows liked Baselworld to see new products, they are often prototypes or pre-production models. Brands use those experiences with the media and retailers to determine how many watches to build, or whether certain pieces should be produced at all. Immediately after people like me see cool stuff we want to write about them. For example, I did a hands-on article with the HYT H1 watch here. Consumers interested in the watches after learning about them at that point have no opportunities to buy them. When they are eventually released most brands offer no announcement which really makes it difficult for people to know when the timepieces they want to buy are eventually available for sale.HYT announces the global release of the HYT H1 watch collection with a fun video, and an actual announcement which

Rolex Sky-Dweller Watch
Each year at the Baselworld watch and jewelry show the most anticipated news is what behemoth watch brand Rolex will release. This is a quizzical thing because what Rolex announces is often anything but revolutionary. Still the successful and closed watch brand seems to excite their loyalists with the new creations each year - often times small steps in anticipated directions. Rarely does Rolex offer something totally new - especially a new model or complication. Oddly enough - both of these things happened for 2012.Rolex typically releases mere line extensions and small features updates (if that). Typical "exciting" announcements include new dial colors, perhaps a new strap, or something offered in a new material. The major new release for 2012 is the Rolex Sky-Dweller, an extremely rare new Rolex model, with a new movement, and with a never before seen complication for the modern brand. Say hello to an annual calendar. Rolex sure didn't invent it, but it seems revolutionary when incl

HYT H1 Hydro Mechanical Watch
Allow me to officially debut liquid timekeeping to you. I teased the HYT H1 watch here recently by showing off the movement and the teaser video (more images there too). Now I can show you the full watch and discuss all that it is. In short, the HYT (Hydro Mechanical Horologists) brand will be dedicated to producing watches with liquid in them. The debut model is called the H1.HYT CEO Vincent Perriard called the first "new" Concord watch the C1 when he was the CEO there a few years ago. There is a lot of similarity here in terms of the modernist conceptualization and presentation of the concept. Though the H1 is something altogether new. The watch uses a liquid filled chamber to display the hours using luminescent green goo in a circular tube. Two bellows are used to push and pull the liquid to show the time on the scale. These bellows are operated by the movement. The minutes are displayed in the center of the face with a dedicated dial, and there is a water turbine style subsidiary s

more info on Breitling Cockpit
Hello guys. Looking for some advise from breitling experts on this forum. I am looking to venture out to breitlings but was never able to come to terms with the big cases. My friend owns a Breitling cockpit which he bought in jan 2008 from an AD. He paid about 4K new and now wants to get rid of it. I really liked the MOP dial on this particular watch and also the fact that it is only 38mm and not so thick. What i want to know is a fair market price for this watch. If ever i want to sell it will i be able to sell it in a fair amount of time without taking a hell of a beating on the price. Please note that the watch in question is not the one in picture. The only difference is that it has a full 18k Rose gold bezel and indexes are also in 18kt rose gold. If i do end up buying it i will post pictures.Thanks
