MB&F Brings Kinetic Art By Bob Potts To Its M.A.D. Gallery In Geneva
Watches, especially the high-end, more animated ones are often referred to as "kinetic art." This time, however, with the aid of?MB&F,? we are taking a step away from timepieces to appreciate the beautifully animated statues of an American gentleman called Bob Potts. We have long known the so-called M.A.D. Gallery of MB&F to feature?exceptional artists, working in greatly different fields from building unique motorcycles to amazing guitars. And while each of those were astonishing in their own right, we feel the moving hand-crafted objects of Potts are what make our horologically inclined hearts beat faster; so let's take a closer?look at some of the pieces that will be on display at the Gallery until October.[vimeo 93151146 w=730 h=411]As Bob puts it: "My work is the manifestation of ideas that come to me from the natural world." And while there are exceptions, like this incredible?ancient ship called the Cosmographic Voyager with 18 simultaneously moving rowers, it is true th

Kazimon Drei Chronograph Titanium Watch
X marks the sport, or third time's a charm - either is a good way of discussing the new Kazimon Drei watch. A unique and highly functional chronograph that has so much to like, with out so much of a price. "Drei" in German means "three." This is not Kazimon's third watch, but the idea refers to the three subdials present on the dial. The standard for all 12 hour chronograph watches. I like that the watch is an interesting mix between retro and modern style cues. Let's look at the retro cues first.Look at the sapphire crystal, and you'll see that it is meant to emulate the raised and rounded look of an acrylic crystal, but it is in fact sapphire. You then have the chronograph pushers that are just like those seen on models from the 1940's - though very useful still. There is also the size of the watch that is 41mm wide. This might actually seem quite medium by today's standards, but is a good size for those many people who rightfully worry about watches that are too big looking on their

Buying a Patek and bringing it into the US
Hi everyone. I am on vacation outside the US and I may have gotten extremely lucky. I stumbled upon a Patek AD and enquirer about the blue 5711 I've been looking for and the salesperson told me if I was serious they were getting one tomorrow and I could have it! So obviously I want to jump on this but I am concerned about the duties bringing it into the US. If I do this I'm not interested in breaking any laws, I will declare the full value of the watch to customs. I am trying to figure out how much the duties will be but I can't figure it out based on anything I've read online. I've seen figures quoted from 4-10%. Does anyone have experience with this or know what the duty is likely to be? Thanks in advanceSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
