Creating The Horological Machine: An Interview With MB&F Founder Max B��sser Part 2
Contributed by David BredanRead part 1 of the interview here.MB&F has been playing a major role on the stage of high-end watch making for several years now. However, just like with every blockbuster's premier, the public's keen attention?is there, but the limelight only shows the final production; and who wouldn't ever wonder just what's going on behind the scenes? In the first segment of this three-part interview, Maximilan B��sser told us about exactly that! We found out how he got involved?in the seemingly sleepy world of watch making, and we gained a unique?insight into just how difficult it is to get a main character's position.Now, in Part 2 we get to see how he managed to continue after all the massive early challenges, what are his fundamental (and as we will see, very unique to the watch making world) values and motives behind every new act of MB&F, the obstacles these create, how and why in his opinion the public's perception has changed about their work, and we receiv

Omega Speedmaster Broadarrow questions...
I have a 2005 3303 movement. I have had nothing but issues with the watch ever since I got it. A lot of it has to do with the Chrono. After it broke this last time some of the hands came off. I have been dealing with a local repair shop for fixing my issues. What I am a little fuzzy about is how this process works. -I dropped my watch off about 13 weeks ago and was told I should have it back in 8 to 10 weeks. I called him today and he said he would call and find out the status. So my assumption is he has sent this watch off to the manufacturer? or what? Why am I paying him $800 if he is just sending the watch off, I could have done that myself.I am obviously not that educated in the world of watch repair. I have my assumptions but would love some better insight. Should I be concerned? I am unhappy with the amount of time my watch has been gone. Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated.

Screwdown Crown
When you fully screw down your crown does it always end up in the same position? For example when I want the Omega logo to be facing right side up doesn't matter how many times I try and how many times I start to push it in, in different positions and screw the Omega logo down on my Seamaster it always end up facing down to the left.
