Bremont Creates Clock for Jaguar XJ75 Concept Car
Bremont has produced a bespoke mechanical clock and stopwatch for the Jaguar XJ75 Platinum Concept Car, a one-of-a-kind design project that was displayed on the Pebble Beach Concept Car Lawn during the recent Concours d’Elegance. Bremont co-founder Giles English commented, Jaguar is one of the world's premier manufacturers of luxury cars and a great British brand. We are very proud to have been asked to make this clock for their XJ75 car and were keen to make something different for Jaguar. As such rather than a quartz clock we have created a beautiful mechanical clock that also has a chronograph function .The Jaguar XJ75 Platinum Concept helps celebrate Jaguar’s 75th Anniversary, and highlights the uniqueness of the XJ. The concept hints at design customization possibilities with this luxury sedan.Chief Designer for the XJ, Giles Taylor, comments on the project, Jaguar has a rich heritage of producing beautifully engineered cars with sleek, sporting body styles.

Why do APs not hold their value as well or appreciate like Rolex or Patek?
I am interested in eventually purchasing a SS Royal oak (likely a 15450) but find their isn't the same urgency due to price appreciation as there is with Rolex watches that I am also interested in purchasing. Rather than thinking in terms of investing, I'm thinking in terms of what to buy now as I may be priced out of the watch in 5 more years, that seems to be the case with some of the Rolex watches (for example the 16520 and 1016 are two watches that if I would have bought 5-10 years ago that draw my interest but not for Royal Oaks, why is that?I look at the prices of 4100 or 14790 Royal Oaks as a suggestion of how the price of 15450 may change over time, would you suggest the 15450 will perform differently in terms of the used or vintage market, if so why?

1969 Speedmaster incoming.. My first Speedmaster!
Finally a Speedy for me. I paid for it last night and should have it in a day or two here. It looks original to me. The seller listed it as original.

I swap bracelets a lot and can always add a period correct bracelet later is how I figure it. I chose to go vintage instead of newer. I love the fact its already old, with some wear on it, and I just love the older dial too. Here are some pics.
