3 Exceptional Boutique Watches We Found Outside of SIHH 2015
Every year at Geneva’s SIHH watch salon, a host of luxury watch brands (most of them owned by the Richemont Group) unveil their new timepieces to international retailers, collectors, and journalists. In recent years, other smaller, non-participating brands have set up shop outside of the SIHH in Geneva’s luxury hotels, displaying new models of their own. Here are three notable examples of such watches that we found this year.Manufacture Royale Androgyne Origine, 245th Anniversary Limited EditionNamed for the watch atelier founded by French literary icon Voltaire in 1770, this boutique brand is know for tourbillon watches with steampunk-influenced designs.

15400 just back from AP service - 5711 comparison?
So I just got my 15400 back from AP service for its 3rd year warranty extension. Also had the polish done and the watch looks incredible. Putting it back on my wrist reminded me of what an incredible watch this is. For those of you that own an 5711 or 5712 PP, is it really worth almost 3X the price for another stainless steel piece?Or is the RG 44 ROO a better option? Both appear to be around $35k.

Are there any photos of Ceramic Omega Seamaster 300M?
I look forward to seeing new Seamaster with ceramic bezel. I could not find anything about Seamaster 300M at Omega Baselworld 2011 Page.I will be glad to see some photos of new Seamaster Ceramic. Please share photos if ou have.Cheers.
