Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Deadbeat Watch
It is funny how trends develop in the watch world, especially for relatively high-end, obscure complications. Once strange and relatively unique, the dead beat seconds complication is having a veritable renaissance perpetuated first by the more hip independent watch makers and now entering the mainstream of high luxury timepiece creations. For 2015,?Jaquet Droz gets on the dead beat seconds hand wagon with a new version of the Grande Seconde called the Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Deadbeat.What is a deadbeat seconds complication? For those who don't already know, it is simply explained by saying that it is a ticking seconds hand in a mechanical watch. Ticking seconds hands are normally reserved for quartz watches �C at least that is how they are known in more modern watches.

Another reason why Omega is great
They are focused on what the customers want. I often wear my Speedmaster on a Bulang & Sons cordovan strap.

No problem, they said! Only $45. I love Rolex, but they would never make something like this so easy. Before and after pics...

Omega Seamaster GMT - Did I Buy the right Watch?
Hi,Currently I own a TT Rolex Sub with a black face that was a present from my wife and have been on the lookout for a SS watch to wear while travelling (mainly overseas and other time zones) I want a second watch as the TT Sub stands out as a beacon in Asia and other less than safe countries.Today whilst in the city a major store was blowing out it's Omega stock at 40% off RRP one day only sale as they no will longer be a dealer and want to clear their stock. They had a black Seamaster 300m REFERENCE 212.30.41.20.01.002 that I loved (very classy) and a blue Seamaster GMT REFERENCE 2535.80.00 with the sapphire crystal back.
