Explaining What's Wrong With The Watch Industry In 2014
One of the things that is really important to us at watches-dealer is to discuss more than just what new watches are available and what we think you should consider when making purchasing decisions. No, we aren't going to tell you how to dress or how to be cool, surely you are doing fine when it comes to those things already. Rather, we'd like to talk about the watch industry overall, as well as things you might like to consider as collectors, or simply as people who like to own nice things.The luxury watch industry is a very complicated and interesting entity, and frankly, I've never experienced anything else like it.

Introducing The Blancpain Villeret 8 Day With Grand Feu Enamel Dial
With SIHH behind us, the pre-Baselworld releases are starting to appear. The first release from Blancpain is an addition to the classic Villeret collection, the Villeret 8 Day with Grand Feu enamel dial. The styling is restrained and traditional like the rest of the Villeret collection and inside is an in-house Blancpain movement with a full eight days (192 hours) of power reserve. 2 OF 3 One of the highlights of the new Villeret 8 Day is the Grand Feu enamel dial. Grand Feu is a special type of enamel that involves layering pigments and firing repeatedly at extremely high temperatures. So instead of the numerals being painted onto the enamel, they are actually painting in enamel during the process. The result means that on the finished dial the numbers are set in the enamel and will not wear away with time. These are hand painted and feature little hollows that match the open hands. 3 OF 3 Turning the 42mm red gold case over you'll see the calibre 1335
