Watch What-If: Luxury Swiss Star Wars Watches
Star Wars fever is back this year, as later in 2015, the popular science fiction movie franchise sees its seventh film with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We recently learned that Nixon from California will be producing some exclusive Star Wars watches, and it is no secret that many modern, avant-garde luxury watches were inspired by story universes such as Star Wars and Star Trek. To that end, we wanted to see what it might be like to have Star Wars watches produced by some of the more popular and "mainstream" luxury Swiss watch makers - which is the subject of this installment of "Watch What-If."Once again, the art and concepts are by Niklas Bergenstjerna - who worked with us to create these five fantasy Star Wars watches by Swiss watch brands you know. The idea is that the characters who inspired these watches might very likely actually wear them (if either were to exist). I hope that these fit into the almost religious "Star Wars canon." Here are words directly from Mr. Bergenstjern

Hands-On: With The $605,000 Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 2: Further Proof Winston Can Go &qu
The Histoire de Tourbillon 2 from Harry Winston costs almost three times the price of the Opus Eleven, and it is far more rare.? This 48.5mm bi-axial flying tourbillon is an extraordinary piece of haute horology, one that further proves this brand has what it takes to compete against the established players in the world of complications.? We got the chance to play the Histoire de Tourbillon 2 in the room above Winston's 5th avenue boutique, a room once occupied by Harry Winston's personal office.? The result were the following photographs of one hell of a cool watch.?The follow-up act to 2009's Histoire de Tourbillon, this flying tourbillon features a titanium cage with an outer rotation of 120 seconds, and inner rotation of 40 seconds.? The tourbillon alone consists of 95 individual parts.? The hour is displayed in a retograde scale at 9 o'clock, while minutes are shown in a disc at 6 o'clock, and seconds on a disc via the tourbillon.? On the front side of the watch are five unique pi

5712/1A - buy pre-owned or wait?
I never expected to be posting this as I've always considered myself to be a dress-watch person. In fact, over the past few months I've been looking for a PC and I always expected that to be my next purchase. But after having spent too much time on TRF and seeing how much adulation is reserved for the 5711/5712, I saw that a local dealer got a 5712/1A in stock. So I went to see it yesterday (Sat) and was pleasantly surprised. This's the 1st time I've seen a SS nautilus in person (an AD has one in dual-tone). One reservation is that at 43mm, it's borderline too large for my wrist as I prefer sub-39mm. I didn't expect to like it but I did and it's growing on me. Call me a convert/believer.IMG_2487.JPGAnyway, having never purchased a pre-owned watch before, I've a couple of questions I'd like to ask:-- the 4yo old watch (dated mid-2013) is priced (net) ~5% below MRP. Is this reasonable? Normally I'd think not, but given the demand for this piece I'm unsure- the salesperson said that it is
