Breitling B55 Connected Watch Makes Perfect Pair With Phone
Feast your eyes on the 2015 Breitling B55 Connected Watch that connects via Bluetooth to your smartphonein a way you want it to. This is pretty interesting news and a very clever (in my opinion) way for an established Swiss watch maker like Breitling to assert itself as a modern brand but also respect the functionality of a standalone timepiece. To understand the Breitling B55 Connected watch you first need to understand the Breitling Cockpit B50 watch (here) that is also relatively new.The Breitling Cockpit B50 had Breitling produce a new Superquartz movement that was exclusive to them and featured a rechargeable battery and some extra functionality compared to their existing Superquartz-based timepiece with an ETA movement. It was so close to a smartwatchbut just shy of having real connectivity. Now just a few months later, in advance of Baselworld 2015, Breitling more-or-less updates the same watch to the Breitling B55 Connected, and unless the pricing is very different, I'd probabl

Vacheron Constantin M��tiers d��Art Marc Chagall Paris Opera House Watch
Nice watch, but you can't buy it. No one can. Vacheron Constantin paid a lot of money to make this watch, and they are keeping it for themselves. I guess they enjoy it too much to part with it? Maybe. More likely, the special March Chagall ceiling watch will be on permanent exhibition, traveling around to show off VC's stuff. For the last few years, since 2007, Vacheron Constantin has held a partnership with the l'Opera de Paris (Paris Opera House), and is here making an additional claim on that relationship by reproducing the famous Marc Chagall ceiling from the opera house on a watch dial.I first wrote about this piece here where I was quickly able to decipher what Vacheron Constantin was up to. It was easy to tell that VC wanted to reproduce the ceiling on a watch dial in enamel. You have to realize that the 200-meter-wide ceiling needed to be hand replicated on a 31mm wide watch dial. The ceiling is quite the epitome of Chagall's style and was completed in 1964. It took Swiss ename

FOIS crown question
Hey all,Wore my FOIS for the first time in a while today and as I was setting the time, I noticed that there was a little bit of play in the crown. Basically, that I could turn the crown a little bit before it would engage and move the hands. Do any of your FOIS' experience the same thing or is this something I should have looked at by my watchmaker?Thanks!

Vintage Seamaster 120
New to the forum... I would like to share a picture of my vintage Seamaster 120 handed down to me by my dad... recently had it restored back to its old glory with new bracelet included... I think its from the late 60's... I also have an older seamaster handed down to me by my grandfather (gold plated, late 50's?) but I can't seem to find the gold mesh bracelet to go with it (this is the bracelet he used with it but not sure if it is original to the watch)... I also have a bond seamaster 300 m which is an awesome watch...
