Court Orders F.P. Journe To Pay Jaquet Droz Legal Costs In Lost Case Over Intellectual Property Rights
I really wish I could read French right now. It seems that even though I am an attorney I don't quite understand this case. First is the language barrier, and second is the legal barrier.? UPDATE: I've learned that the translated text was so confusing that I got the facts (not the law) of this case wrong. To please see the updated version as follows...This is a European case that isn't applying US law. But let me give it to you as I understanding. After 5 years, and at least one appeal, Swiss watch maker F.P. Journe has been ordered to pay damages to Jaquet Droz and the Swatch Group (owner of Jaquet Droz) in the amount of tens of thousands of euros for infringement of Jaquet Droz's intellectual property rights for legal cost damages. It looks like Jaquet Droz was accused by FP Journe to have copied designs that FP Journe allegedly has created. This this would have been a copyright infringement case . Let me explain (not a hardcore legal discussion, don't worry).In the world of watches,

Incoming.. 5712 ... Let's see your pics!
Hey All,I've been waiting for some time to get a 5711, but I wanted to buy it brand new vs pre-owned. I was offered one by my AD in December, but it wasn't a good time for me to bring a 5711 into the fold.After a recent discussion with my AD, they let me know that they received a 5712. I did some research and decided to stretch a bit to get into the 5712 vs the 5711. I currently own a 5167, so also felt the 5711 would be a bit of an overlap.No pics yet as I pick it up this weekend, but I would love to hear from current 5712 owners! How do you enjoy your 5712's? Anyone else want a 5711 and decide to stretch to the 5712 instead? Was it worth it for you? Would love to see your 5712's!! The wait is killing me, but I've waited quite some time to get a Nautilus, so two more sleeps won't kill me Thanks!!

Pam 682
As some of you know, I picked up a PAM 233 not too long ago and I'm still in my honeymoon phase with it. I noticed the new PAM 682 while accompanying my friend to pick out his first watch at the AD. I instantly fell in love with it after trying it on. I've always admired the PAM 305/1305 but never considered getting it due to the size. I'm sure glad Panerai decided to release this smaller version. Here are a few pictures of both my new PAMs side by side. This was a complete impulse purchase. The 2mm difference make a huge difference especially for someone like me with relatively thin wrists. I loved the way it looked and felt on my wrist. The watch retains all the original DNA of Panerai while making it more accessible for guys with smaller wrists. Thanks for looking!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Panerai 587 Sale?
I don't know if it's of interest to anyone but in my search for a 587 I found one at Jomashop of all places!Spoke to them this morning and they have it in stock for immediate overnight shipping. Downside is it won't have the certificates book.Upside a scarcely believable $7795!!!!!I eventually bought from Jacek as I prefer a full set and supporting TRF sellers.Would be curious to know how they came by it as I thought they were all presold before they were even in ADs.
