Christophe Claret’s Soprano Tourbillon Minute Repeater Takes the Stage
Christophe Claret, known for creating complicated timepieces with tourbillons and repeater mechanisms, has released his most ambitious such model yet, called the Soprano. The watch’s signature features are its 60-second tourbillon, stepped “Charles X” bridges made of sapphire, and a musically accurate four-note minute repeater striking Westminster chimes on cathedral gongs.A traditional minute repeater tells the time audibly with two notes created from two small hammers striking two gongs: one for the hours, one for the minutes and a combination of the two for the quarter hours. A more complex type is the Clarion repeater, with three notes that can play a simple melody for the quarters.

AP ROO RG 42mm Gold Dial - reviews and opnions
Hi! I already have the novelty Rg 44mm. Will I find the 42mm on Strap - too small in comparison. As I think I might have posted this question earlier but I will be ordering the watch without trying it on. Any pros or cons? Or should I just go for it. For many like myself AP ROO with a full gold bezel is a grail and a must. Looking forward to hearing from All. IThank you regards Urooj

Thoughts on this Omega please
Hi,I am looking at a new Omega SMP 300M Chronometer with black ceramic bezel. Beautiful watch and the price seems right new at around $3,200.00.Here is my question. The older Omega Seamaster Professional's seem to sell for closer to $1,500 - $2,000. Can I expect to lose $1K in depreciation in 1-3 years on an Omega? I guess that seems a high depreciation rate, is that why I should consider a Rolex Sub or Explorer?Appreciate your thoughts on this.

I love my Patek
I wore it all day and barely new it was there (with the exception of looking at every 12 seconds). This is giving my 116619 a run for its money!
