VIDEO: Swatch Creative Director Carlo Giordanetti Presents The Spring/Summer 2014 Collections
There's no denying that Swatch is one of the most important ambassadors for wristwatches to the general public. Whether you're a serious collector or someone who's never worn a wristwatch, you know Swatch. We sat down with Swatch Creative Director Carlo Giordanetti to talk about both Swatch's current offerings and it's greater place in the world of watchmaking. Sure, the purists might say that a quartz watch is a quartz watch, but that would be to miss the point of Swatch entirely. 1 OF 4 Giordanetti first joined Swatch back in 1987 and served for ten years (with a short break from 1992-1995) in a variety of roles. After another hiatus, he returned in 2012 to take the reins as creative director. Speaking with Giordanetti, it's difficult to keep the word "dreamer" out of your thoughts �C and we mean this in only the best ways possible. It takes a certain personality to truly believe that colorful plastic wristwatches can make an impact on not just the people who wear them b

RO Tourbillion Chrono
Bought this piece recently and it is not a daily wearer. Just wound it and the Tourbillion nor Chrono is moving. Watch is like dead. Do u need to take it to a AP service center or is this something that can easily be fixed locally. Pls advise. Quite pissed.

Rory Mciory leave AP for Omega
any one is not familiar with who Rory is, he is a darn good golfer at age 23-24. He won both the US Open and the PGA championship once and is now currently world no. 2 behind Tiger. I read the news on his facebook yesterday. I believe Omega should have paid him millions for him to make this change. As I understand the sponsorship is business, if I am in Rory's shoes, I just feel sad for wearing an AP ROO 44mm yesterday and to a Omega speedmaster today. Not that I do not like Omega, but they are just not in the same category.any fellow members feel a similar way?anyway, birthday coming up and hope i could save enough to tap the nautilus category!!
