Historical Perspectives: A Look At The Horological Society Of New York, Owners Of A Unique Watchmaking Library, And The Oldest Horological Society In The United States
Twenty-one years ago the Bulova School of Watchmaking in New York City closed its doors. As the staff was cleaning and packing, they came across an extensive library of horological books and ephemera. Some of the books were hand-bound in leather, adorned in gold leaf, with personal dedications from the authors. Others were extremely old, dating from the 18th century. In addition, they found hand-calligraphed meeting minutes and accounting records. All of these items comprised an incredible horological resource and they were not sure what to do with them. The staff needed to be out of the building at the end of the day and hand over the keys. Urgent calls were made and that same day a large van arrived to retrieve the library. The books were quickly piled into the van and driven off. Storage was found in NYC’s Upper West Side and the library was locked away for decades. 2 OF 14 The library in question is one of the largest collections of rare horological texts in the

Introducing: The Piaget Emperador Coussin XL 700P (And An Old Japan Vs. Switzerland Controversy Revi
Piaget has just announced its first new piece for 2016, which we're going to see live at the SIHH in January. However, we've got a first look at it for you, right now, and it's something you might not have expected. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Piaget's in-house quartz caliber 7P – the company's first in-house quartz movement – it has released a hybrid quartz/mechanical caliber in its Emperador. Caliber 7P by the way was a very important step for Piaget and its small size (especially relative to the first commercial Swiss quartz caliber, Beta 21) made it possible for the firm to do amazing pieces like this one. The new caliber 700P is very different, however: it uses a conventional mechanical going train, powered by a micro rotor that winds the mainspring. At the end of the gear train there's no escapement; instead, there is a generator whose speed of rotation is controlled by a quartz timing package. The micro-rotor is at the 9-10 o'cloc

Long time lurker. First time poster
So I've been lurking here a while. Been a Rolex fan as long as I can remember but there is something about that heritage Chrono in rose gold that I cannot get out of my mind. It might be an itch I must scratch. Also have loved that mesh bracelet on the right watch. Afraid it might be a bit blingy for a daily as opposed to the black though. Anyone have either?

Is this my best incoming teaser thread yet?
Start the guessing everyone. There will be some clues along the way!

What to do with my submariner ?
Hey guys ,I've owned this submariner for around 8 months now and I have really enjoyed it. Recently I noticed I have a copper looking substance on the underside of the crystal a bit right of center. Would you guys get this fixed ? I'm curious about shipping to Rsc. Any risk of them scratching the watch repairing it ?I am pretty disappointed as I selected this sub from about 4 examples because it had good alignment of the cyclops , bezel , and engraved rehaut.
