Hands-On: With The Breguet Classique Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Ref. 3797
It was June 26, 1801 that Abraham-Louis Breguet patented the tourbillon, meaning yesterday was the legendary complication's 213th anniversary. Breguet celebrated Tourbillon Day in New York City with an exhibition of tourbillon wristwatches at their 5th Avenue boutique, giving us a perfect excuse to go hands-on with one of the manufacture's most impressive modern complications, the ref. 3797 Classique Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar. Not only is there a massive tourbillon counting the seconds at 6 o'clock, but also a full perpetual calendar with leap year indicator and a retrograde date up top. This is a watch that shows off the very best of where Breguet comes from and what they can do today. 2 OF 6 Just looking at the ref. 3797, it's obvious you have a very complicated watch on your hands. One of Breguet's hallmarks is exceptional guilloche dials that mix multiple patterns and finishes to create a look reminiscent of the 18th and 19th century pocket wat

Breguet Clock With Docking Pocket Watch Re-Sets Record For A Clock At Auction, Fetching $6.8 Million at Sotheby's New York
Yesterday Sotheby's New York held its Important Watches and Clocks sale at their Upper East Side headquarters. The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the record-setting sale of the Duc D'Orl��ans Breguet Sympathique clock from 1835, a stunning clock with a docking pocket watch - yes, a docking pocket watch.Just looking at the Duc D'Orl��ans, you can tell you're staring at something impressive. The case is decorated with beautiful ormolu-mounted red tortoise shell, it stands at nearly two feet tall, and the amount of gold sculpture is staggering. But it's the little repeating watch perched on top that really makes the Duc D'Orl��ans special.?Abraham-Louis Breguet wanted to tackle the problem of watch winding, and this is one of his finest achievements in the arena. While in exile in Switzerland during the French Revolution, Breguet conceived of the Sympathique system. At the bottom of the pocket watch are three tiny holes. When docked in the gold cradle atop the parent clock, these holes

About to buy my first AP royal oak but needed advice from you guys...
I found a AP 25594ST 36MM moonphase watch locally and I am very close to pulling the trigger on it. The owner said they bought it about 5 years ago but never had it serviced and hardly wore it. IT looks mint in the pictures.It has a white face.. They are at $7000 and are willing to meet me at a AP so I can have it authenticated before handing over the money. Is $7K a fair price for this watch, I see others on Ebay and chrono24 for 8-10K and they look alot older. This watch has the AP clasp with the AP letters so the clasp is AP not the rectangle clasp that alot of them have. How much would it cost to have this movement maintained at AP service center? I tried on a 39MM AP and it was a little too big so I think this 39MM would fit perfect..What do you guys think about the price and the movement in this watch..For 7K would I be able to recoup me money if i did not like it and wanted to flip it?Thank you!!

Back to Panerai- Incoming!
I've been without a Panerai for about a year and half now, so I thought it's about time for me to make my way back. I've always wanted to give the PAM 372 a try ever since I was bit by the PAM bug, but I was always hesitant about the size and other watches got in the way. I finally pulled the trigger yesterday and less than 24 hours later she is here! First impressions- I'm used to wearing 40mm Rolexes, so the size will take some getting used to. Luckily, I have 7 1/4 inch wrists and it seems to fit well on it. It's also super comfy for its size. This isn't the first time I've seen a PAM 372, but it's my first time handling it outside an AD and it sure gets better looking the longer you wear it. It's a real stunner in person. It's only been here for a few hours and I already have some Gunny and Bosphorus straps on the way
