Piaget Altiplano Automatic 43mm Ultra-Thin Watch
Many people dream of really thin mechanical watches. I've even had people tell me how awesome it would be to have this ultra wafer-thin watches. For me the idea wasn't super appealing in theory, and then I finally got to experience some ultra thin mechanical watches and the desire turned on like a light a switch. Most thin mechanical watches are manually wound, which sort of defeats the point for me - as what I really want are automatic watches.Piaget has always been a "thin is in brand" stressing broad watch cases that barely lift of your wrists. They have been doing this for decades, especially appealing since they are a "real" watch maker that creates their own movements. So here I am at SIHH 2010 in Switzerland (when writing this article) checking out the new Piaget Altiplano Automatic Ultra-Thin watch that I've know about for a while and I am really moved by it. One of the best parts of the ludicrously thin 5.25mm watch is that it has a sapphire exhibition caseback with a view int

G. Gerlach Lux-Sport Review
When we last reviewed a G. Gerlach watch, I concluded by saying that I was more excited about the potential of the brand than the watch itself (the watch being the Otago, a 70's style diver). I felt that they had an opportunity, by being a Polish-made brand that used Asian movements, to sort of do whatever they wanted. They could set their own tone. Well, with the watch we are going to review today, I think it's clear that they are, and that they are quickly evolving into something great.The Lux-Sport is an automotive inspired watch that draws from a car of the same name from 1936. The watch itself is fairly modern to my eyes, but in keeping with the brand concept, it celebrates Polish history and industry. Like all Gerlach's the watch is also predominantly made and assembled in Poland. That is something to keep in mind when looking at this watch. There was no real watch industry in Poland (at least not currently) when G. Gerlach set about starting their brand. Now they make several wa

A great pair to settle with...
I have really been Lucky this last year or so with the watches I've managed to get my hands on, in brexit torn UK especially.I've cultivated a passion really of just a few brands and a couple of models within those brands. The passion is intentionally moderated by what is my taste aesthetically and also what is justified financially (and then perhaps just a tweak further - it is passion after all, and we only live once).I've made regrettable mistakes along the way, bought things I didn't like enough, Lost money and most annoying of all - sold some pieces at the wrong time and really taken a bath at times (as my American friends say)...But also I've picked up some real beauties too. Had the please of handling, owning and loving - some of the watches we all drool over on this site. Its a special feeling to be one of the lucky ones who was able to acquire a rare bear... Occasionally, I've even flipped at the right time - never really made money - but have compensated myself for the
