Close-Up: Louis Moinet Memoris
Back in 2013, we reported on the discovery of a 19th-century timekeeping device, created by French watchmaker Louis Moinet, that may well have been the world’s very first chronograph. This year, the brand that bears that watchmaker’s name pays tribute to that milestone with the Louis Moinet Memoris, a wristwatch that positions the chronograph as the primary function and the standard timekeeping as an added complication.The Louis Moinet Memoris, released in commemoration of two anniversaries �� 10 years for the Louis Moinet brand and 200 years since that early chronograph device �� is described by the brand not as a watch with a chronograph but as a “chronograph-watch.” Louis Moinet partnered with the movement maestros at Concepto (as it has done since the brand’s inception) to develop the movement, Caliber LM54, which incorporates several features that aficionados associate with traditional, “noble” chronographs, including a clutch column wheel a

Breitling Navitimer New For 2014 46mm And GMT Watches
Breitling's most iconic and famous model is the Navitimer. I've reviewed the Navitimer 01, which included for the first time the in-house manufacture Calibre 01 movement.For 2014, Breitling makes two small, but important, changes to the already legendary model. First, the Navitimer gets an extra large version. The 46 mm cased model results in a larger timepiece that allows it to be more wearable over a pilot's jacket and in keeping with some modern wristwatch tastes and trends.Also, the Navitimer 46mm now includes a transparent case back to showcase the Calibre 01 movement. A limited edition of 200 pieces is also available in red gold.Second, the Navitimer GMT manages to add a 24 hours second timezone while retaining the patented instrument-inspired busy dial that makes the Navitimer so unique.

For years now, I��ve been reading U.K. shortages...
It never made sense to me. Rolex wants to sell watches. When China was on fire with sales, China had tons of watches for sale. Often the lowest price in the world when factoring in currency conversions to CHF. I've been reading for many years about constant short supply in U.K. Makes me wonder if this is a game all the dealers do in the U.K. to drive up hype and demand. I mean it would greatly be in Rolex's favor to sell as many watches as possible. I know the Brexit currency crash has had something to do with recent times but even when the pound was high, Rolex's at ADs was low. What is your theory/thoughts?
