Ulysse Nardin CEO Rolf Schnyder Passes On
Ulysse Nardin has announced that its CEO, Rolf W. Schnyder, unexpectedly passed away on April 14 after a short illness.

Leo Padron, said one-man, welcomed us into his watch making studio, where he designs and assembles his line of affordable and unique watches (yes, he's a watch maker). It's worth a read to learn a bit more about the man and his brand. At the time, he was just finishing up a successful Kickstarter campaign for his Tessera timepieces, one of several such projects. Now, he is currently at the end of yet another successful campaign for an update to the Tessera, named the Selby.What caught my about this watch, all of Padron's watches for that matter, was that it's totally his own vision.

Submariner vibration and noise, help please.
Hi friends of this awesome forum.I need your help because I m worried.I m using a Submariner for 5years and 1 month non stop, day, night, holidays, work, sports.....everyday 24 hours x 5 years and 1month.Time is very good, only 2minutes more per month.1 week ago I began to listen a sound and a vibration. When I shake the watch in vertical position, the watch makes a sound.In horizontal position, no sound.When I m using the watch I feel a vibration sometimes, and listen the sound kind of rrrrr, not very loud, but I m little obsessed with it., like a pendolum kicking the wall of the watch. When I shake my hand.I dont want to spend money in a service, I m angry with Rolex because service is very expensive.What can I do? Any experiences? Opinions plz....thanks a million,Apologies for my bad english.Greetings from Chile,
