Harry Winston Histoire De Tourbillon 6 Watch
Harry Winston has recently announced another chapter in their Histoire de Tourbillon line, the Harry Winston Histoire De Tourbillon 6. It is traditionally one of the most complicated watches, but released with the least amount of usable illustrations - you guessed it: one front view. To sum it all up real quick: a triple-axis tourbillon, a separate karussel, 683 parts, two time indications,?resetting hands on the second indication,?carriage stop on the karussel, over 80 hours of power reserve, and a monstrous?55-millimeter case. Take all that into account, and you will see why it baffles me why such halo pieces �C because, after all, such releases are the epitome of halo releases �C are debuted with just?a single front view of the watch. Illustration-rant over, we can move on to?similarly mind-boggling, albeit much more interesting?issues now �C of the mechanical kind!The left hand side of the highly asymmetrical Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 6 dial is, of course, dominated by the

Vintage Breitling Bullhead
Got myself another rare beauty, a 70s Breitling Chrono-matic Bullhead ref. 7101. The oblong shaped case is quite unique which offers easy access to the pushers.

Backstage with James Bond's watch
1. backstage Obviously, how the story should have gone is as follows:She stood in the lobby of the Astoria, having just left her Aston to the valet as I picked up my Martini from the bar. Our eyes met and she approached. I introduced myself, Bond, James Bond, can I offer you a drink?This however, is not exactly how it happened. The Astoria was a small countryside Omega AD, the Martini tasted suspiciously like a Nespresso and the pickup line went more along the lines of 01L, Nav 01L��And She as you will have guessed by now, if not from the title, is the Omega Speedmaster Professional 300m (a.k.a. the SMP).Omega has told and persists in telling us about the Bond relation of this watch. Just like they have made a speedy special edition for pretty much every mission to space humanly imaginable, they have made Bond special editions of this watch and what might be seen as its successor, the planet ocean, on every possible occasion. Hey folks, look a here! The 37.5 years since our CEO's fi
