Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Orbital II Chronograph Watch
Ball?is no stranger to creating watches tied to modes of transportation. They're most commonly associated with the railroads, as that's where the company got its start over a hundred years ago. What people may not be as familiar with are their ties to aerospace. Ball has been partnered with Brian Binnie (the pilot of Virgin Galactic's SpaceshipOne) for some time now, and have developed features to help watches withstand the shocks of rockets firing.The first development they added to their latest watch, the Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Orbital II, is the Amortiser. This is a ring around the movement to protect it from shocks, as well as providing magnetism resistance. This system also includes a switch on the case back which will lock the rotor in place, preventing it from spinning. Basically with this, if you're going to go do something that you know will generate a lot of shocks (say, launching in a space ship or swinging a hammer) you can prevent the rotor from spinning wildly (

Patek Philippe watches - NON HACKING!
I was so shocked to learn that the Patek Philippe 5711 Nautilus is non hacking! What's the reason for this? Surely to guage how accurate a movement can be, it needs the second hand to stop whilst setting the time...? Such a huge price for something generally considered the best in the world & it doesn't have this simple feature...??!
