Giant of Time: Eli Manning Gets His Own Citizen Watch
New York Giants fans hoping their team goes deep into the NFL playoffs this year can only sit on the sidelines (or couch, or recliner, or high-priced stadium seat) and cheer their star quarterback Eli Manning to victory. However, a lucky few of them can do so while wearing a Citizen watch made specifically for Manning himself. Manning has been a fan and paid endorser of the Japanese watch brand for several years, even appearing on TV commercials that you may have seen during NFL games. But it was only this year that the Giants' Super Bowl-winning QB has lent his name and jersey number to a timepiece, the Eli Manning Limited Edition Perpetual Chrono A.T, which features a dial in Giants blue and is limited to 2,000 pieces total (1,000 with a steel bracelet, 1,000 with a blue polyurethane strap).The watch has a 42-mm case and a quartz movement that features Citizen's signature Eco-Drive technology, which uses sunlight to recharge the battery. It also uses radio-controlled electronic timek

Inside The Manufacture: A Visit To Audemars Piguet In Le Brassus
Audemars Piguet occupies a very interesting place in the pantheon of modern watchmakers. It is truly independent, with two members of the Audemars family still playing an active role in the manufacture's development. It balances watchmaking of the very highest order – think tourbillons, advanced escapements, and grand complications – with watches immediately recognizable to the average person on the street. And it has remained entrenched on home soil in the small village of Le Brassus, situated right in the heart of the Vallée de Joux. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting Audemars Piguet's storied home and it's a pleasure to share my journey with you here. 2 OF 57 There are two main facilities in Le Brassus, one housed in the original manufacture from 1875 and the other a more recent addition from 2008. The former houses the restoration department, the museum, the Audemars Piguet archives, and a dedicated tourbillon workshop, while

5711 clasp ambivalence
I'm not up for a patek bashing so please don't think I'm a hater. I love my 5711. But ....I remember feeling the same way as I did when I got my first (pre ceramic) rolex submariner. Effectively slightly disappointed with the clasp. Compared to the new 114060 for example the older 14060 seems to be far less sturdy and perhaps fragile or insubstantial. Yet I do know many like its roots, its no bling form, and - i know its functionality is unquestionable...When I play with my 5711, I'm just left feeling that the clasp is a little awkward to undo... It reminds me of the tool aspect of rolex evolution - which I hadn't expected from a patek - as you never hear them reffered to in that way... I must say - The arrangement on the 40th anniversary AP 15202 just seems more pleasing.Hopefully I'll grow used to it, I have only had it a few weeks...Does anyone feel this way? Or can anyone help me appreciate the patek clasp experience more?Good day all....

strap width mm for a Zulu on a DSSD?
Ok. I did due diligence, (actually, I have only been searching the threads for about 10 minutes, but got impatient ). I want to put a 5 ring Zulu on my DSSD, and wanted to know the best width to order. I don't have calipers, but it is looking like 22 or 24 mm. Any of you know offhand what the proper width would be? THANKS!
