Talking With Patek Philippe President At Their New LA Boutique
Los Angeles is the first US city with a dedicated Patek Philippe brand boutique store (previously discussed here), and I got a chance to check it out recently. I have to say, the ambiance there is really lovely. While there I had a rare opportunity to interview Patek Philippe President Thierry Stern. I discussed the unique?interview in more detail in an article on Forbes (that I recommend you read here). In addition to sharing that article, you can check out some images of the boutique and the interview video below.[youtube youtubewatches-dealer/watch?v=FMQ8TbxDTqI&version=3&hl=en_US] #gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 20%; } #gallery-2 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-2 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0

Help!! I'm in love with a quartz watch...
At any point in the last 5 or so years, I would have laughed if anyone said I'd be wearing a quartz watch. But yet, here I am with one on my wrist and I can't stop staring at it. I recently picked up this Aerospace Avantage and couldn't be happier. I read a lot about the super quartz movement and the thermal compensation technology used prior to buying. These are rated to run +/- 10 sec a year. Between the quartz movement and the all Ti case & bracelet, this is by far the lightest watch I've ever owned. I'm sure I'll end up going to bed with it on by mistake more than once.The features of the watch included a chronograph, countdown timer, 2nd time zone, day/date display, alarm, and a few others. My only coplaint is that it's a bit tedious to navigate all the menus using only the crown. I think having pushers like the B1 would make it more intuitive. Not a deal breaker for me since I'll be leaving it on the day/date display at least 90% of the time.Overall, this is an amazing timepi

The right stuff
Over the last few months I've been doing a slight adjustment to my collection with the idea of looking for a few pieces with historical significance.While I've had a few Speedmasters in the past, for one reason or another they've moved on to new homes. As I re-thought my collection I realized any collection of watches with significant impact in the sports/professional community should include such an iconic piece.I went for the standard hesalite moon watch to represent the Speedmaster professional side of the house as, for me, this is the reference that represents all that is legendary about Omega's Speedmaster series. It sure helped that my AD was so accomodating.Sooo,....a few quick shots of the newest member of my little group.
