MCT Sequential Two S200 Watch
For 2014 MCT has announced a brand new watch with the Sequential Two S200, a new round-cased timepiece that focuses on the brand's signature complication for displaying the time with a new micro-rotor-based automatic movement. MCT is a young brand with a rocky history, and we are glad to see them really back on their feet with talent behind the scenes.Originally debuted in 2009, the MCT Sequential One is still one of my favorite "modern watches" being designed by Denis Giguet. A few years after that, Giguet left MCT around the time that he debuted his Opus Eleven watch with Harry Winston (hands-on here). Where is Denis Giguet today in 2014? He actually works for Van Cleef & Arpels, of all places. Anyhow, in 2013, MCT came back on the scene under the design aegis of Fabrice Gonet, who redesigned the original Sequential One watch with the updated Sequential One S110, a revised version of the original with some new visual details.

Gerald Genta Gefica Bi-Retro Safari Watch Available On James List: A True Collectible
I continue to lament the loss of watch industry design and figure-head Gerald Genta who died this year. People tend to remember him most for his classic contributions to the industry - which include 1970s' designs for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, Vacheron Constantin Overseas, IWC Ingenieur, and Patek Philippe Nautilus. Granted these were all amazing and endearing designs - though they were however obvious siblings of one another. My colleague at Fratello Watches discusses those here a bit.

All that is summed up and epitomized in the Gefica Bi-Retro.The modern interpretation of the Gefica concept is a watch I dearly want to add to my collection (and I rarely say things like that about watches that are no longer being made). As time goes on the leadership Genta took in terms of design risk and innovation is clear. For example, right now bronze watches are all hot and in. The Gefica was mostly in bronze when most people laughed a

My first Audemars Piguet Purchase!
I was thinking long and hard aboute the new royal oak chrono but at the end of the day, I couldn't get over some of the updates (uneven sub dials in contrasting colours, location of the date) and the fact that it wasn't an in-house movement.

Help with Speedmaster Purchase
I'm thinking of buying a Speedmaster , there are so many models I thought I'd asked the experts before taking the plunge. I have narrowed it down to 2 (i think) 1) ref 3570.50 Moon watch or 2) ref 3507.51 Micheal Schumaker edition , black with white subdials. Which one would you recommend for first speedmaster or any other suggestions

Incoming Watch Box
I just unboxed my new Rapport Watch Box. Its beautifully well made and worth every penny. The number of watch holders intentionally exceeds the size of my current collection. However, I have an incoming BLNR that should be here very soon per my AD. I'm also waiting on a blue face SS Skydweller like so many other collectors.
