Opinion The Future Of Watchmaking

G. Gerlach Otago
A few months ago, I was very excited to introduce you to G. Gerlach, one of very few Polish made watch brands (yes, there are more than one). I'll defer to that article for details, but to summarize, Gerlach is setting out to revitalize manufacturing in Poland as well as pay tribute to Polish history via watches. The owners are a bunch of collectors with eclectic tastes who set out to make watches they want to wear as much as their customers would. As such, the watches range wildly from pilots, to marine chronometers to divers of various types. While that might seem like an odd strategy, they are doing a lot of things no one else is, and there is something in their line for everyone. And��they are doing it all with very affordable prices.Following up their first set of the watches, which were altogether unique, Gerlach released the Otago, which we have the pleasure of reviewing today. This chunky orange-dialed diver clearly draws inspiration from classic 70's divers, namely those of Dox

Introducing The Bremont Kingsman Collection, Three Watches Designed For The New Spy Film "Kings
What is it about spy movies and watches? Bond had his Rolex (and now his OMEGA) and Bourne had his TAG Heuer. Those characters' movies featured watches as subtle (okay, sometimes not so subtle) product placements. But the forthcoming spy action?thriller?"Kingsman: The Secret Service" not only has watches front and center, its producers and costume designers also actually had three watches commissioned especially for it. Those watches are from Bremont, based on two of the brand's existing chronographs, but with some unique features and the fictional secret organization's logo on their dials. 2 OF 3 The Bremont Kingsman DLC The three Kingsman watches are differentiated for their respective roles in the movie, with a black DLC steel version of Bremont's ALT1-B2 GMT watch for new field operative recruits and a rose-gold piece with white dial based on the existing ALT1-WT world time chronograph for the seasoned veteran agents. There's also a steel version of the World Tim

Help? How many removable links are there on a 5711 bracelet?
I just went in to an AD to have the bracelet adjusted on my 5711. I asked them to add one link back to the bracelet. And so I handed over my 5711 and a chain of what I thought was 7 spare links. I got my 5711 back with one link added to the bracelet, and a chain of 5 spare links.Now, I can't remember if I started with a chain of 7 or 6 spare links. Maybe it wasn't seven to start with?In total, I now have 5 spare links and 2 removable links on the bracelet, for a total of 7 removable links. Does the Nautilus come from the factory with 8 or 7 removable links on the bracelet? Thanks for any help.
