Romain Jerome Liberty DNA Watch
The newest "DNA" watch collection from Romain Jerome will be the Liberty DNA timepieces. These watches will each incorporate some metal from the actual Statue of Liberty, and feature a unique design meant to honor the statue while not simply featuring imagery from it on the case and dial. Do you see something a bit steampunk about it? Maybe, while this isn't per se a Steampunk watch (as many other Romain Jerome models are), the Liberty DNA (ref. RJ.T.AU.LI.001.01) does have a 19th century feel to it.Romain Jerome worked in collaboration with the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation as well as the Gold Leaf Corporation on this timepiece. These foundations helped Romain Jerome acquire small amounts of metal from the actual statue. The dial of the watch is designed to look just like the oxidized copper look of the statue today. It has no markers, just the signature color and texture of the statue. The dial itself is where metal from the statue is incorporated. Over the dial and attac

A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Tourbillon "Pour le Merite" Watch
2011 will experience the release of this new fusee and chain transmission watch from Glashutte, Germany based A. Lange & Sohne. To be honest, fusee and chain movement watches excite me a lot more than tourbillons. Not that they are mutually exclusive, but I really love the idea that there is a tiny hand-made (bicycle style) chain in a watch helping to move power from the mainspring to the movement. Plus, a fusee and chain is a lot more useful for accuracy and rate reliability than a tourbillon is.? Today there are only a few brands that offer watches with fusee and chain complications. The three that I can think of off the top of my head are A. Lange & Sohne, Breguet, and Cabestan. Who am I missing?Cabestan does the fusee and chain best because they make it visible on the dial. On This lovely Lange you'll have to peek around through the back of the watch for views of the chain. If you look at the movement image in this post you can see bits of the chain wrapped around the brass

Breitling Colt GMT+
I have worn only Rolex watches since 1971, but when I went to my AD a few weeks ago to see the new Rolex collection, there was nothing that floated my boat. The Breitling Colt GMT+ interests me. It seems to combine the functionality of the Explorer II and the Submariner. Any comments about this particular Breitling model?

Am I crazy? Trading a 116710 to go back to a 16610
Hi Everybody, wondering if anyone else has gone from a GMT Ceramic or SubC back to the older versions. I'm thinking of making this trade (hopefully with some cash coming my way).I originally traded a 16610 for the 116710 last Fall and have been missing my old Sub ever since. I'm thinking that means I need to go back.
