Edox Grand Ocean Jumping Hour Watch
Things have been quiet from Edox for a while, and suddenly they present a few new models. The brand has been crawling upmarket as of late, with the pictured recent addition to the line priced at over $5,000. This is the new Edox Grand Ocean Jumping Hour, and it takes full advantage of the brand's common nautical theme, and places a unique jumping hour display in the watch. As is the trend with "open displays," you can see a bit more of the hour disc than is necessary, but only a portion of it is framed (showing the appropriate hour). The minute hand is shown as a dial the encompasses the hour display. The minute hand style is common on each of the new watches from Edox this year. For the seconds, you have one of those clever half circle displays. Basically, you look at the hand which has two sides to determine what you are counting. If the red portion of the hand if going across the display, you read the red seconds, and vice versa for the unpainted steel side.An interesting feature in

What is everyone thinking about the jumbo in yellow gold with blue dial? I tried one on today. Apparently they're pretty limited. Only making 70 pieces.

New Ceramic SMP 300 in storage
Hi guys, bit of advice if you would kindly oblige. So my wife-to-be has bought me my first mechanical watch, the new ceramic SMP 300 in black. I love it, and was kinda surprised in the AD when she told him to put the Bond quartz back and get the one she knew I really wanted.The problem is it is a wedding present from her to me but the wedding is not until Nov, yet another reason to be excited. However it is to be kept in the safe until the big day, with the exception of the engagement shoot. My question relates to if I should be doing anything to keep it ok whilst it is in storage, and indeed if I should manually wind it on the day or wear it the day before.CheersCJ

I finally joined the family...
After many years of being somewhat interested in Panerai, I finally decided to get one after seeing one up close when I saw my long lost friend while on holiday in London a couple of weeks ago. He was wearing a 372. I tried it on and liked it a lot but unfortunately I thought it was too big for my 6.75 wrist. I searched for something similar and found the 560. Simple yet stunningly gorgeous. I bought it last night from a local AD at a fantastic discount and wore it to a wine tasting tour in Napa today. Here are some pics.
