Watch Insider: Herm��s Unveils its First Tourbillon Watch
Up until very recently, Herm��s was known more as a fashion brand than as a purveyor of haute horlogerie. However, its watchmaking subsidiary, La Montre Herm��s, has been challenging those assumptions as of late with many of its new watches and proprietary movements, and has now released its first tourbillon watch, called the Arceau Lift.In this article from my blog, Watch-Insider, I give you the details on this significant new timepiece and show you some photos I took at the watch’s unveiling at the Herm��s boutique in Paris.Herm��s is not a newcomer to watchmaking; one can find Herm��s-branded timepieces dating back as far as the 1930s. But today’s La Montre Herm��s, based in Switzerland, is taking its business more seriously than ever and is not interested in mass-producing watches just for the sake of multiplying the brand’s famous “H” logo.

Omega PO bezel insert change Question
Hi all,I have been enjoying my new Planet Ocean 8500. However, I would like to change the bezel from black to orange. I don't want to have to send it in for it to be done. Is there any way I could purchase an orange bezel and do it myself. I've seen youtube videos of people changing there bezel inserts by using an ordinary butter knife. Can it be done on the new PO?I would hate to have to send it in and pay a ton more when it could be easier. Of course that's the question. Is it?I know there are a few threads on here that it has been done, but not exactly how. Someone on here took theirs to a local jeweler and they did it. Mine here will not touch Rolex or Omega because they aren't qualified or something. The dealer I purchased from may not either....So does anyone have any advise?Thanks!

Why do these always seem to get short shrift here and on the market? I'm talking about the 5135s, which I think are beautiful and a great size for us larger fellas.
