Piaget Emperador Coussin XL Ultra-Thin Minute Repeater Watch
For SIHH 2013,?Piaget will once again break a record when it comes to being thin with the Emperador Coussin XL Ultra Thin Minute Repeater. No we are not talking about anything related to "The Biggest Loser," but rather a new movement which is the thinnest of its kind. Traditionally, Piaget has been known for making very thin mechanical movements. A few years ago they revisited this pursuit and started to produce movements of various types and complications that are the thinnest of their kind.If you look back in watches-dealer archives you'll find a number of these watches. A few will probably be listed below under "Related Posts." Usually when Piaget has something slim to brag about they put an "Ultra Thin" title in the name of the piece. For 2013, Piaget has upped the ante even more by producing the world's thinnest minute repeater movement in the caliber 1290P. It also happens to be an automatic. The 1290P contains 407 parts and is just 4.8mm thick.The Emperador Coussin XL Ultra Thin

Edward Norton Is New Male Face Of Breil Watch Ads: High Price For The Actor?
We can be safe in assuming that Edward Norton was richly compensated for being Italian watch designer "Breil's" newest brand ambassador. The contract stipulates that for the next two years, Norton will be the primary face for all of Breil's print advertising. He gets to wear the watch for hours while photographers attempt to capture his "essence" and transfer than to the watch. Norton is actually an interesting choice for Breil, and probably not the first person you'd think that a watch company would choose. Virtually everyone in the watch industry is extremely conservative and highly conscious of image. Personally, I am a huge fan of Ed Norton (and I'll watch basically anything he is in), but you have to consider his image based on the most popular movies he has been in.So when I hear of Ed Norton, I think of some specific movies he has been in. Recently, he was in another new "The Hulk" movie. Mostly he wore a Polar heart-rate watch to make sure he didn't turn into the Hulk. He destr

Zenith Mega Port Royal Tourbillon Watch: Expensive Answer To Question No One Asked
Say, why don't they have a jumbo sized square tourbillon watch with cage bars on the crystal? Oh, well Zenith does, and this odd homage to goth time-telling befuddles my sense of association. On the one hand, you have the underpinnings of a high-quality Zenith Port Royal watch. This handsome tank watch is a modern interpretation of the classic rectangular watch look. On the other handyou have a black titanium cage.Do you recall the 1980's when those rubber watch protectors were popular? You know, on Swatch watches and others. Yea, wasn't that cool? Little rubber straps that curled over the face of the watch (only partially obstructing the view) that came in tons of (neon) colors. I sure was styling back then, I even wore several of them on my wrist at once!Well the point of protecting the crystal of watch apparently has been lost, until now, when Zenith reintroduced the cage look. So the perception of watch protection is back, and in a big (and ugly) way. Look at those ridiculous bars
