Nomos Metro Review
When Nomos unveiled the Metro at last year's Basel World, it was met with such adoration from both the press and watch enthusiasts that it must have made all of the other brands feel put out. Not only did this deceptively simple and all together quirky little watch get praised for its slightly odd design, it was also the harbinger of Nomos' independence from the Swiss. As Mark eloquently explained back in March of 2014, with the Metro, Nomos also unveiled their Swing System; their in-house escapement.The most costly and complicated part of the movement (barring additional complications), the escapement includes the balance, balance spring, escape wheel and pallet, and has no room for error. One might assume that all brands that claim to have in-house movements would all have their own version, but it's actually something few brands have the capacity to make, especially the balance spring. For a relatively young and, at least in the US, small brand to make their own is a massive deal

Patek Philippe Purchase Advice
Hello everyone,I'm looking to purchase my first Patek. I'm leaning toward Platinum ones because I actually have other kinds of watches and want a change. I'm not too strict about it though. My budget is around $100k.I've tried 5496p sometime ago and liked it very much. I've seen 5550p which is a limited edition which makes it even more special, also seems nice.Any additions to these?Thank you!Salih
