The Unique Voutilainen GMT-6 For Only Watch 2015
Kari Voutilainen is well known for his exquisite finishing and dial work. In fact, he recently bought the Comblémine dial-making factory to add to his workshop's dial-making capabilities. This shows in his GMT-6 for Only Watch 2015, with a unique dial.The white-gold dial combines guilloché and enamel techniques for a beautiful effect, with the GMT complication at 6 o'clock. The movement features Voutilainen's direct impulse escapement with two escape wheels, and is a joy to look at. The massive balance wheel beats at 2.5Hz, held in place by a thin, black-polished bridge. The 39 mm case is stainless steel, and features Voutilainen's signature teardrop lugs. 1 OF 1 For an event like Only Watch, you can expect a bit of embellishment on the lot descriptions. First off, the movement is not "all-new." It is the same as the movement found in the series production GMT-6. Second, it is definitely not "the first watch to use two escape w

AP Royal Oak 15400: Ill-fitting deployant clasp and leather strap
All,I tried on the AP Royal Oak 15400OR on a leather strap today and found the placement of the deployant clasp pressing against the lower part of my radius bone (i.e. the wrist) when fastened uncomfortable. From searching this forum, I found reference to a shortened strap and also the possibility of reversing the deployant clasp (though I do not believe that would work in this case. To peoples' knowledge, would the shortened strap resolve this issue?Thank you!

Takeaways from Geneva
I wanted to follow up and give some insight to collectors based on what I saw in Geneva. They really did give us a look under the hood. We saw even production sheets that stated how many pieces for the run and how many runs per year. I wont speak specifically to that given their transparency. Bottom line, those of you who think the best days of Patek are behind them are crazy. Here are a few facts I am comfortable sharing:-53000 watches per year-12000 quarts watches- 41000 mechanical watches a year-5% of mechanical production are grand complications- The remaining are complications, calatrava, gondola, nautilis, aquanaunt-nonquarts- So ~2100 grand comps a year- there are 38 grand comp references for 2013/14 (35 men, 3 woman)So bottom line, those of you who believe that Patek is over producing their grand complications due to moving to in house movements are wrong. They are most likely producing the same to less. yes there are many more 5140 than 5208 but 2100 piece per year of their fl
