The Nomos Metro and Ahoi Atlantik
At Basel this year, Nomos has done something so surprising that, had this been Geneva instead of Basel and cars instead of watches, it would have made primetime news. ?Let me set the scene…Imagine that one manufacturer made the engines that powered most of the world's cars, but each carmaker stuck their own brand name on the rocker cover. ?So your Mercedes was really powered by the same engine as a Kia. ?That's pretty much what happens in Watchworld. ?Nivarox, part of the Swatch Group, manufacture the?assortiment, the collection of pallet, balance?wheel, hairspring and escape wheel used by most of the world's watchmakers.Now, imagine that engine maker decided it didn't want to sell to anyone except its own factories anymore. ?Can you imagine the implications for?every other brand's cost, supply chains, production lines, tooling, sales? ?That's exactly what Nivarox has done. ?It's said that soon it won't sell its?assortiment?to anyone outside Swatch Group.This has left the industr

Planet Ocean Arrived
My Planet Ocean Chrono 9300 arrived today. I got the black bezel with the orange numeral 12. My only thought in wearing the watch is that the orange numeral is basically hidden with the chrono second hand in the 12:00 position. A small part of me wishes there was more visible color in the watch. Maybe i might have enjoyed the 8500 more? All of Omega's photos of the Chrono do not show the second hand at 12:00 so I never thought of this issue until today. Do any of you guys just set the chrono seconds hand in a different position just for the purpose of viewing the orange 12?

AD versus PP salon buying experience
This week I had the good fortune of being able to pick up PP Watches - one from an AD and the other from the Salon.Just wanted to compare and contrast the experience:-AD - good experience albeit with no price reduction due to the watch being very sought after. got to keep the transport packaging although I wasn't given any freebies (case, scarf, pen etc)Salon - unreal experience, got to see and try on the 2015 collection, listened to some minute repeaters, lots of freebies (scarf, pen, leather watch wallet, first service included)- excellent all round experience. Wasn't allowed to keep the transport packaging for the watch.Based on pure purchasing experience and customer service then the Salon comes out top - however for best prices, assistance in sourcing sought after watches etc then I would have to give it to the AD.
