Hands-On: With the A. Lange & S?hne Richard Lange Tourbillon "Pour le M��rite" (VIDEO)
One of the coolest tourbillons we saw at SIHH in January was A. Lange & Sohne's Richard Lange Tourbillon "Pour le Merite."? This is the watch, designed after a 19th century pocketwatch (pictured below), that has a dial that is only fully visible during half of the day.? The point of the disappearing dial? Simple, really. The folks at ALS just want the wearer of this Pour le Merite to be able to view the fantastic tourbillon that he or she is paying for.The Richard Lange Tourbillon is a regulator, with the minutes being displayed on the top dial while hours on bottom right, seconds via the tourbillon at bottom left. During the hours of 12-6, half of the hour dial is missing to display the full tourbillon.? Once the watch hits 6, the dial pops back into place and a full circle is displayed again.? As this is a "poure le merite" watch, it is driven by a fus��e and chain transmission to ensure regular power delivery while the watch is being wound and as it works through its power reserve.On

Introducing The Urwerk EMC: The First Mechanical Watch With Artifical Intelligence, Capable of Being
In Urwerk's never-ending mission to produce some of the most interesting and genre-bending mechanical watches on the planet, we now present you with the EMC, or Electro Mechanical Control.? We showed you the movement to the EMC here back at Basel, but now the watch has been unveiled, and it's a doozy.? The EMC is "the world's first precision mechanical watch in which the timing can be monitored and adjusted by the user, on the fly - essentially? It's interactive. 2 OF 6 So what does this mean specifically? Well the watchmaker's best friend is a device called a Witschi, which listens to the rhythm of the balance and displays the performance of the movement, how much a movement gains or loses in 24 hours.? The EMC essentially has a Witschi built into it (electronic, though manually wound!) so that the wearer sees how his was his running.? And, the EMC offers the wearer to adjust the watch on the fly to keep chronometric performance at its peak. 3 OF 6 EMC feat

AP ROO Rubber Clad Strap help!
Hi everyone, new to the forum here, but I think its the best place to ask. I have a AP ROO Black Rubber Clad. The deployment buckle that came with the rubber strap is extremely uncomfortable, and rests on the SIDE of my skinny wrist. After wearing for a short while, there is a painful mark on my wrist. I changed to a Survivor rubber strap, but the smallest hole is still too big for me. What options will you suggest? I would prefer to keep the rubber look to match the rubber look on the rubber clad, but I'm open to exploring new options so that my AP doesn't look like it's gng to fall off my wrist. Of course, comfort too. Thank you so much!

WatchTime Article - Rolex Versus Patek
I was excited to see this on the cover of my latest Watchtime Magazine. IMHO, the two finest mechanical swiss watches in the world. It was extremely interesting. I don't want to ruin any of the article here, but was curious if any other TRFers read it and what do they think? Please feel free to post any article info you feel interesting
