Top Ten Technically Important Electronic Watches
Until the 1950s, the wristwatch world was powered by springs. It wasn't even until the 50s that automatic winding watches started to become popular, meaning that most watches were not only powered by springs but also one's ability to wind that spring manually. It was human-powered timekeeping. Winding one's watch was part of daily routine, as was adjusting it regularly to keep it accurate. But 1957 heralded change and the beginnings of a revolution that would fully materialize in the 1970s and 80s, and it all started with the futuristic-sounding, electric watch.Pre-quartz watch electric timekeeping technology was crude by today's standards, but rapid improvements helped make the battery-powered watch not only the dominate way people tell time today (don't ruin it for mechanical watch lovers by telling them), but also set the stage for wearable computers and a whole universe of watches that managed to do things no spring could ever hope to accomplish.1957:?The Electric WatchA horologica
AP as a wedding gift
My Fianc��e was kind enough to let me get my 15400 as an early wedding gift to myself. After getting my Diver I promised her that I wouldn’t buy another watch until the wedding was over. Hard promise to keep since it’s a yearlong engagement. Anyway, I would like to get her a nice watch as a wedding gift and was leaning towards a Rolex DJ 31mm with diamond dial and 24 diamond bezel. However, knowing my addiction to watches she was also nice enough to let us stop by Geneva on our honeymoon and we are now scheduled for the full tour of the AP museum and manufacture. I was thinking I might want to get her a AP Lady Royal Oak instead of the Rolex. She really likes my 15400 and mentioned she loved how understated it is. She also asked if they had a ladies version as soon as she saw it. LOLDoes anyone have experience with the Lady Royal Oaks? I've heard not to go with the quartz movement because you have to send it to AP for battery replacement. I was looking at the Audemars

Vintage Speedy Service Question
Hi Everyone- I need some advice regarding servicing of my father's vintage Speedmaster. I've received a diagnostic test from Omega and they've said that even with the full service the waterproofness of the piece cannot be guaranteed due to excessive wear of the case�� That seems odd to me because new gaskets, seals, etc. will be put in (verified with the rep). Also, they will change my hands to luminova but will leave the original tritium dial. Has anyone heard of the waterproof issue? Is there anyone in the tri-state area that is trusted to service Omega watches to keep the piece vintage?If the chronograph didn't develop an issue I'd have never brought it in but unfortunately a service is needed one way or anotherThanks in advance!
