Introducing The Rotonde de Cartier Earth And Moon, A Tourbillon With On-Demand Moonphase Display (Li
Over the last few years, Cartier's Fine Watchmaking department has been consistently pushing out some of the most creative and technically impressive haute horology around. Just a few weeks ago we showed you the new Astrocalendaire and today we've got another stunner for you. The Rotonde de Cartier Earth and Moon uses its tourbillon and a moving Lapis Lazuli disc to display the phase of the moon on demand and there is a second timezone display as well. The Earth and Moon is as much a mechanical sculpture as it is a timekeeper and here we've got all the details.The Earth and Moon is not a subtle watch – far from it. The platinum case comes in at 47mm across and 16.65mm thick, with robust arching lugs. The dial is bright blue lapis lazuli with a white gold Roman numeral grid over the top that also features a map of the earth at the center.

A news: Prestigious pairs of "Chinese" watches at the Patek Philipp
Luxury watchmaking from London, Geneva and later from the Neuchatel Jura played a major role at the end of the 18th century and during the entire 19th century as a supplier of the Middle Kingdom.European watchmakers, goldsmiths, painters on enamel and engravers came together in order to create these true works of art intended to seduce the Chinese dignitaries.But why these unique timekeepers, which are quite different, were produced in pairs and some of them by mirror image effect?To solve this mystery, come and discover the exceptional thematic exhibition The Mirror of Seduction at the Patek Philippe Museum, from 15th May to 16th October 2010!Every week on Monday, the Patek Philippe Museum unveils a fabulous pair of Chinese watches.en ,,,,,beautiful pictures on the watch.my style.(I'm from china.)

Is it safe to hack the P5000 movement?
I have a brand new PAM610 and PAM563. Essentially the same movement with a seconds hand showing on the 563. On the 610 it is irrelevant, but on the 563 I was wondering if it was safe to hack the second hand to sync it with a known time (as you would a Speedmaster with gentle reverse traction of the crown). I haven’t played with it yet, but wanted to see what the consensus was. It is also my understanding that these movements are not COSC certified. My 610 certainly gains time over the 8 day reserve. I haven’t checked the 563 yet. I don’t expect Rolex accuracy as they are hand wound. Just curious to hear others’ experience.
