Audemars Piguet 2009 Corporate Watch Making Film
Ignore the first 30-60 seconds of this film, it gets really cool after that. I love watching stuff like this because it actually does a very good job at showing you how watches are made at houses like Audemars Piguet. Yes, you need to know what to look for, but pay attention to the tools and techniques used to polish and decorate the movements. This process literally takes up most of the time in watch movement assembly. While the film is supposed to take place in the 19th century (even though some of the stuff looks really modern), the same process is used today to make high-end luxury watch movements. Take the hand-spun machine that spins the movement plate around, today it is just done with machines but that are more often than not still controlled by a human operator. There are no automatic decoration or finishing processes for this level of watch making - just good ol' manual processes to give it that unique human touch.Enough of my intro, check the clip of this "corporate movie" a

2nd faulty Colt Chronograph
I purchased a Colt in the Dubai boutique back in October 2014, all worked fine until Jan 2015 where I noticed the chronograph second hand, when reset, stopped at the 37 seconds marker and not at 12 o'clock. After handing it in to the service centre, which I will add were very professional, they offered a replacement movement which I declined so they replaced with a new Colt which I received in March 2015.So, we come to January 2016. Again, the watch has been working fine but now the Chronograph second hand is stopping at the 58 second marker. Yesterday I took it to Tunbridge Wells service centre, which coincidentally is a few minutes away from work, where they said they will treat as urgent due to my history.Is anyone else aware of this issue? Or have had similar issues? I am guessing they will want to replace the movement again?

My Breitling Crosswind running fast
I noticed that when kept on my winder for a couple weeks, it was about 2 or 3 minutes fast. But I have the Brookstone programmable winder and realized I had it set for nearly 2000 rotations a day.Is it possible that the watch was being over-wound and that's why it was running fast? I just set the winder to 950 TPD and I am going to leave it on there for a couple weeks and see if the problem is solved.Doesn't this watch prevent over-winding automatically?What is the recommended TPD for Breitling, 850?Rolex is 650 right??
