Parmigiani Bugatti Aerolithe Flyback Chronograph Watch Remembers The Flammable Legend
At SIHH 2014,?Parmigiani will introduce the newest member to its Bugatti watch collection with the Bugatti Aerolithe Flyback Chronograph. It is in my opinion perhaps the most attractive Bugatti timepiece they have come out with so far being simple in design with a very classically attractive color palette in a deep metallic blue with a hint of red. The watch is meant to honor a historically unique Bugatti car that has since disappeared.Interesting fact about the 1935 Bugatti Type 57 Aerolithe - it was flammable. Introduced in 1935 at an auto show, the one-of-a-kind coach is known as the first Bugatti to introduce the iconic Type 57 body style that was more realized a few years later. The Aerolithe was a trial in modern material construction as Bugatti wanted to make it lightweight for performance purposes. Though records seem to indicate the 1935 Aerolithe had only one actual media road test.In order to make the Aerolithe as lightweight as possible, Bugatti sourced a newly developed an

Patek 2017 Basel pieces (plus) viewing and some thoughts
I got I try on some real beauties last night at the Patek 2017 Basel pieces viewing, as well as some current production pieces. All were great. A small write-up of each. 5170p (Stunning on the wrist, and extremely comfortable. Great size and weight balance. The gradient blue dial is just perfect. And the baguettes are subtle, and beautiful. The movement is intoxicating). 5320g (Another beautiful 2017 release. The case and lugs are meticulously detailed. The vintage feel is not overdone, offering a nice balance of new and old. This watch was well received by most at the event.)5524g (This was the first time I've seen this in the metal. It never was my favorite online, but on the wrist, it really is a special watch. While bigger than other Pateks, it was not too big. It fit nicely, and it's extremely legible. It's a fun watch). 5370p (Winner, winner! I saw one of these a few months ago, but it was double sealed, so I could only view it. Last night, I got to try it on. Perfection. The cas
