Nomos Lux & Nomos Lambda Gold Watch Lines Enhanced With Beautiful Colors And Smaller Cases
This time last year, Nomos announced two new lines that exclusively used gold for their case construction. At the time, we debuted both the Nomos?Lux and the Nomos Lambda?models, which were an entirely new direction for Nomos, offering a level of technology, craftsmanship and finishing, not to mention price, that is well above the small German brand's core line up. This month, Nomos will expand both lines, adding a trio of women's models to the Nomos Lux line and a new dark blue dial to the white gold version of the Nomos Lambda.The new Nomos Lux versions come in three original colors - Sable (aubergine, ref. 942),?Ermine (grey, ref. 940), and Cicada (lemon yellow, ref. 941). Unlike the white gold original Nomos Lux, all three 2014 references are offered exclusively in 18k rose gold and the cases have been downsized slightly from the original 40.5 x 35 mm to 38.5 x 34 mm, with the thickness holding at 9 mm.The new sizing and colors (two of which the brand says were?inspired by fur) off

Creating The Horological Machine: An Interview With MB&F Founder Max B��sser Part 2
Contributed by David BredanRead part 1 of the interview here.MB&F has been playing a major role on the stage of high-end watch making for several years now. However, just like with every blockbuster's premier, the public's keen attention?is there, but the limelight only shows the final production; and who wouldn't ever wonder just what's going on behind the scenes? In the first segment of this three-part interview, Maximilan B��sser told us about exactly that! We found out how he got involved?in the seemingly sleepy world of watch making, and we gained a unique?insight into just how difficult it is to get a main character's position.Now, in Part 2 we get to see how he managed to continue after all the massive early challenges, what are his fundamental (and as we will see, very unique to the watch making world) values and motives behind every new act of MB&F, the obstacles these create, how and why in his opinion the public's perception has changed about their work, and we receiv

Introducing: The Girard-Perregaux Laureato 2016 (Could This Be The Watch That Puts GP Back On Top?)
If there were a special Academy (or whomever) Award for most underappreciated watch brand, at least in the U.S., I am pretty sure that Girard-Perregaux would be on the list. At least on paper, they tick all the boxes – great in-house movements (that have been found, over the years, in one form or another, in a lot of other brands’ watches) and a fantastic history, as well as some very iconic designs. Part of the problem is that one of their most recognized, and recognizable, watches is very much at the high end: the Three Golden Bridges Tourbillon, and its variations; another part of the problem is that they’ve never really had a breakout, long-lived modern success that’s become ubiquitous in the same way as, say, the Submariner, or the Tudor Black Bay, or the Royal Oak. And yet, they do have a watch in their history that could very easily become that watch for the brand: the Laureato, which they've relaunched this year, in near-exact reproduction of the fir

Tang vs. Deployment Clasp
I currently have only 1 watch with a deployment clasp, a JLC. Love the watch but super uncomfortable as it digs into my wrist leaving a painful indentation. I find a tang to be so much more comfortable. The tang on my diver is my favorite and most comfortable, more so than a Panerai tang. However, I love the look of a deployment, especially in precious metal. Having never tried on an AP deployment clasp, do those of you who have one find them comfortable? The AP deployment styling is beautiful, I just don't think it would be as comfortable as a tang. Opinions?
