VIDEO: Swatch Creative Director Carlo Giordanetti Presents The Spring/Summer 2014 Collections
There's no denying that Swatch is one of the most important ambassadors for wristwatches to the general public. Whether you're a serious collector or someone who's never worn a wristwatch, you know Swatch. We sat down with Swatch Creative Director Carlo Giordanetti to talk about both Swatch's current offerings and it's greater place in the world of watchmaking. Sure, the purists might say that a quartz watch is a quartz watch, but that would be to miss the point of Swatch entirely. 1 OF 4 Giordanetti first joined Swatch back in 1987 and served for ten years (with a short break from 1992-1995) in a variety of roles. After another hiatus, he returned in 2012 to take the reins as creative director. Speaking with Giordanetti, it's difficult to keep the word "dreamer" out of your thoughts �C and we mean this in only the best ways possible.

Patek 5960/1A discontinued
It appears both models are discontinued, which apparently means the black dial was an extremely short run.I always liked the white model and was even more impressed with the black one when they announced it last year, but never pulled the trigger because the white dial looses a lot of value once it leaves the store and I'm not a fan of the bracelet (although I've seen beautiful pictures of the watch with a strap). Now that they are discontinued I wonder if the black dial will better retain its value. My AD has one in stock and I'm seriously considering it. What sort of discount (if any) should one expect to obtain on this model?Thanks

Patek Philippe NYC Event- June 2013
I have had two consecutive weeks with Patek. On Thursday, I was invited to attend the NYC Chronos and Repeater event. To say the least it was spectacular. The entire Stern Family was there. Also, The CEO Mr. Penny, The Head of Marketing and the entire Henri Stern NYC team. To say the least it was over the top. Attached are some pics of the event. Mr Thierry Stern asked me when I was leaving if I was tired of Patek? The simple answer Mr. Stern is NO!Repeaters first!(SORRY THE LIGHTING WAS TOUGH!)
