Hands-On: The Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955 (Live Pics, Details, Pricing)
At the risk of either overstating the obvious or resorting to a bad cliche, the Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955 is a time machine in both senses of the word. Yes, it tells time, and quite well, but that’s not why everyone got excited when this watch was announced at Watches and Wonders in Hong Kong a couple months ago. That enthusiasm was due to the watch’s throwback good looks and perfect proportions which are inspired by a forebear in Vacheron’s deep archives. Going hands-on with it reminded me just how good a classic handwound dress chronograph can be. 1 OF 6 First, a bit of history. The Cornes de Vache (which I’ll call it from here on for the sake of brevity) is based on a watch made in very small numbers starting in 1955, simply called the ref. 6087 but nicknamed the “Cornes de Vache” due to its lugs bearing a resemblance to the horns of a cow. You did pay attention in French class, didn’t you? Vacheron h

Hands-On: The Urwerk UR-1001 ��TITAN��
Remember the Urwerk UR-1001 Zeit Device? It was a crazy complicated pocket watch of sorts that kept time in increments ranging from one second on up to the passing millennia. The device was introduced back in 2012, and it has remained something of a curiosity from the brand. While it never occurred to us that one might want to strap the Zeit Device to the wrist, that’s exactly what Urwerk has done with the latest iteration, the UR-1001 “TITAN.” It has all the craziness of the pocket watch, but this time with a removable wrist strap. 1 OF 4 The UR-1001 “TITAN” gets its name from the new titanium case. The original was stainless steel with a AlTiN (Aluminium Titanium Nitride) surface treatment. The remains largely untouched, including its dimensions, which clock in at 106 mm x 62 mm x 23 mm. The new case is far lighter, in both appearance and weight, now appearing more silvery than the black of the original. 2 OF 4 Like other Urwe

Calatrava vs. Royal Oak
Hi Guys,I hope I can get some good advice here.I bought a brand new PP 5127G 2 years ago and love it to bits.Unfortunately, I spotted an Ap Royal Oak 15300R and fell in love with it as well. The only thing I don't like about the AP is it's heavy depreciation. Another issue is I already got another rose gold watch which I will never sell-PP 5711R. I don't have other white gold watch so Im reluctant to let the Calatrava go!Shame I cannot afford to have another watch and my safe at home is full!!Many thanks for all your comment!
