Look out for our coverage at #DubaiWatchWeek.Dubai has a reputation as being a city of massive wealth with rapid economic growth after the oil boom. The fact that there hasn't been a major watch event of this scope in the city is actually somewhat surprising given the region's reputation for big spending and a love of all things flashy. Spending on luxury goods is increasing in the Middle East, and it will be interesting to see if the

ContaTempo Scuderia Introduces Two Mechanical Chronogrphs
ContaTempo Scuderia is a watch brand many of you may be unaware of, but their aggressive, overbuilt, race inspired aesthetic is one that begs to be noticed.The entire line of ContaTempo Scuderia watches share many distinctive characteristics, not least of which is the inclusion of a bullhead case design on all timepieces. This design choice is in keeping with the brand's commitment to creating watches inspired by automobile and motorcycle racing, as pushers positioned at 12 o'clock recall the design of a stop watch.Enrico Margaritelli, a third generation watch maker and previous collaborator with Fossil and Emporio Armani, is the brand's head, and his extensive experience in watch making is apparent in each of the ContaTempo Scuderia pieces. In our time at the ContaTempo booth at Baselworld, we had the chance to go hands on with the brand's entire line of watches, all of which felt very well made and wore comfortably despite their large (46 mm diameter) size.

My moon Watch
as you all know i recently bought a speed master with the hasilite crystal. when i picked it up from the Omega Boutique i bought a leather band with it and had the put on the strap when i went home that night the next day i noticed that the lugs on the back of the watch are all scratched up do to them changing the strap. i was pissed as i just bought the watch new and it should have been perfect. so i called them and they are willing to replace the watch for me. so my question is to you sense i had the watch for a few days now i have also noticed few hair light scratches on my hasilite crystal i don't know if they were there or not but would you get the sandwich version of the speed master or the hasilite? and if so how do you deal with the hasilite crystal as far as cleaning and use on the class to remove any scuffs?

Patek theorists, haters, conspiracy buffs...
There are several threads that are ongoing that all fall under the above title. In one case the abhorrent behavior of one specific AD is being blamed on the brand. In another the brand is being described as out of touch with their new youth target market.Before addressing these specific assertions let's consider what PPs primary goals are as a business and what strategies are being implemented to support this long term goal. First and foremost PP wants to safe guard the historic prestige and exclusivity associated with their iconic name. This is a generational business imperative not to be deviated from for short term gain. In order to do this they have stuck to a core strategy of producing in limited numbers, arguably the finest timepieces available for purchase by the public at large. I will speculate that very few people who own a PP purchased it as either their first watch or own it as their only watch. That said the target market is a slightly older, more informed or intere

Does anyone can recommend AD in Zurich?I know it is quite difficult to get but just would like to try. Is it better chance to get it here in Zurich?
