Historical Perspectives: A Look At What Hermes Means To Watch Lovers & Why The Apple Watch Hermes Edition Makes Total Sense
Two months ago, Apple followed up the announcement of the Apple Watch with a special edition model in partnership with no less than Hermès. Hermès is, of course, the still-to-this-day family run hyper-luxury lifestyle brand by which all others are measured. It is quite simply one of the great brand stories of the 20th century and beyond, and a rare success story of those who never cut corners being rewarded by the consumer. Further, Hermès is actually an important brand to a watch collector – having partnered with several great Swiss manufactures over the years as a distributor, retailer, co-designer, and more. Even more, several Hermès items, though technically unrelated to horology, have become part of the watch collecting dialog. Today, we'll explore some of the more important contributions of Hermès to horology, and examine where the Apple Watch Hermès fits in, if at all. 1 OF 23 Hermes As A Retailer And Value Driver

Verizon Commercial
Verizon's Better Matterscommercial shows items that aren't working and while I know that it isn't exact, I couldn't help but instantly think Omega Seamaster when I saw this ad. Obviously it isn't exact and I'm not insinuating that Seamasters have a fogging problem but if I worked at Omega, I'd be a little upset. https://.youtube/watch?v=Esrckega-6UMaybe they were trying to convey that off brands aren't worth it and that going with Omega you wouldn't have that issue as better matters

old v new PO
I guess there is a thread on this,I can't find it so....what are the differences on the new PO,I know the bezel and movement but anything else?,there seems to be a big increase in price too,is this because of the changes or are Omega using this time to rise prices again,I was hoping to buy a PO but the new prices have put me right off the idea,so if I were to buy, it would have to be the old PO or a used PO,I could live with the old movement and be slightly miffed at not having the new bezel but would I be missing out on any other updates on the PO?

Basel unveiling
Question. Baselworld starts March 22, but Rolex says it will unveil the collection March 21. Do they always unveil the day before? I thought they unveil the day of.
