AkriviA Tourbillon Regulator Watch
Like any parent will tell you, one of the greatest joys in life is watching your child mature into a unique personality. The development of a brand is a similar ontogeny that must be just as exciting and intimidating for its owner. It seems strange to consider that the global behemoths likes Rolex, Omega, or Cartier ever had a first watch. We take their universally recognised ranges for granted, as if the brand sprung fully formed from the mind of its founder. This was not the case. The first is important, sure, but the second, and the third, and the fourthIt takes time for consumers to understand a brand, to pigeon-hole it, to digest the message and see it realised in many rather than just one piece. With the Akrivia Tourbillon Regulator, the latest watch in this fast-growing family, it is just about possible to say that the DNA of this small brand has blossomed into a pleasingly homogeneous range.There are two main things we look for in range consistency: a unique case shape and an i

Jorg Gray Watches Gets First Brand Ambassador With IndyCar Driver
Watch brand Jorg Gray has just signed their first brand ambassador. It is a big step for a brand to get to the point where they start signing ambassadors.

Bring a Loupe: Five Reasons Why Spending $5,000 On This Tudor 'Monte Carlo' Would Be A Terrible Idea

It is conspicuously wrong, in many ways. Let’s now play Spot The Differences between this Monte Carlo and some correct examples. An Incorrect Red Hand 1 OF 132 OF 13 A quick and easy thing to spot first is that the chronograph seconds hand seen on the ebay example – on the left here – simply does not fit aesthetically.

Geneva Seal Vs. Patek Seal?
Just Curious if anyone cares?Personally, I would pay a small premium to get the Geneve seal models from a specific reference if both were available throughout the references lifespan.

I know it's a minor point, but I just prefer the Geneva seal heritage, sort of like COSC certification.
