Hyetis Crossbow Swiss Mechanical Smartwatch + Interview
We know that smartwatches are definitely an in thing (and if you don't, here are some of our articles on the topic), and of course Swiss-made watches are something we're all keenly aware of. To-date though, those have been mutually exclusive descriptors. And that makes sense, as smartwatches are generally full of radios and other bits of silicon - not exactly conducive to something mechanical. Though, the Crossbow watch by Hyetis will change that by offering what the producers believe to be the best of both worlds.Arny Kapshitzer and his company, Hyetis, are setting out to change that with their Crossbow Watch - and below we have an exclusive interview with him about Hyetis. While it would be cool to think about a battery getting recharged by a spinning rotor (and those do exist), this is a much more conventional sort of application (if I could call it that). For the Swiss-made part of the watch, Hyetis is planning to utilize a Swiss automatic mechanical movement (the ETA 2836-based HY

It's here! My first AP.
My first AP! Went with the new 15202 jumbo. Was having good ol' DSW source a 15300 (which I'm still mulling), but he mentioned yesterday that he had an inbound BNIB 15202 (warranty dated this week) from his AD. I thought about it for a good 30 seconds and pulled the trigger. David had the AD drop ship it to my place and I received it this morning. The thinner case and 39mm size suits my wrists better than the 15400. As has been mentioned before, it wears a lot like a PP 5711 - which is also in my rotation. However, the 15202 bracelet is a bit more comfortable IMHO. I love the patisserie dial and its subtle color changes in different light. The detailing on the watch is insane - up there with my Pateks.Thank you DavidSW for another smooth transaction, and thank you Thomas (TSW) for bracelet sizing advice after some issues with overuse of loctite at the AP factory. Coincidentally, the 15202 arrived the same day I received my always-delayed copy of WatchTime featuring the RO Jumbo. Enough

Patek Service Times-- 10 Week Delay
My 5110p (World Time) has been in service for nearly 6 months, so I called HWSA to check on status. I was told there is a 10 week delay on this type of complication, by which I suppose she meant a world timer. I was also told this is due to a large number of service requests. Hmmmmm. Losing use of one's watch for nearly 3/4 of a year is pretty hard to swallow.
