WatchTime Hosts New York Collectors’ Dinner with MB&F’s Max B��sser and London Jewelers
The “F” in MB&F stands for “friends” �� and the iconoclastic, independent watch brand’s circle of friends expanded last night, as WatchTime, in partnership with London Jewelers and MB&F, hosted an exclusive private dinner with Max B��sser (the “MB”), owner and creative director of MB&F. Twenty collectors were treated to a three-course dinner, along with cocktails and Champagne at the ever-elegant The Mark by Jean-Georges restaurant on Manhattan's Upper East Side. (MB&F’s “robo-clock,” Melchior �� something of a mascot for the brand �� was also in attendance.)The highlight of the evening was B��sser's inspirational and candid presentation on his childhood and early interest in the watch industry. Among the topics he discussed were his early successes and failures, along with the sense of fear that he admits still feeling each time he creates a new watch. Collectors listened with rapt attention as B��sser, an animated

Ultimate luxury sports watch?
I didn't really know in what section to post this, so decided to post here, what are the ultimate sport watch brands?There's Rolex of course but for me it's not a luxury brand, it's a middle high end brand, then there's Richard Mille, they could be considered the ultimate sport pieces but only one thing bothers me with them is the low WR, for me a sports watch should have at least 100m WR, apart their diver models the WR is 30m as I understand, at the same time even if the WR was 200m would you really go for a swim with a 100K or more watch? I think I would not.Then there's the ROO line, multiple choice of metals, sizes, 42 and 44mm, for me the best are clearly the ones with ceramic or cermet bezel, the unscratchable factor is for me very, very important, I got the full ceramic diver because I find it hot looking and the AP ceramic seems to be up to taking a beating and resisting it, I wouldn't have any problem swimming or doing sports with it, something I wouldn't do with my PP 5712,

A bit of humor: crazy wait times and lists to get on...

Help me save/spend $$ for new watch
Hi All,Was drooling my candy store (AD) today and my sweet tooth decided I needed a goal & reward to help me towards a personal milestone. This will take some time so no quick incoming pics. Roman numerals were my starting point into the luxury watch world 15 yrs. ago and it was traded; new one will be my lifetime watch. So envision OLD woman. I’m asking for opinions! I currently own the LVc which will also be a lifer. The DJ choc. dial RG/SS will become my daughter’s in the future for one of her milestones (could be 6, 8 or 15 yrs). So, I will happily wear it till then. Pictured below are: 31mm datejust, and 34mm Tudor Claire de Rose. Didn’t know how to create a poll so weigh in as you wish. Thanks to all my fellow enablers!!
