Swiss Cubli Takes The Balance Wheel To A New Level
The Cubli isn't a watch, but if you love mechanical timepieces you are going to love this robotic cube. Designed in Zurich and no doubt somewhat inspired by mechanical watch movements, the Cubli is an ultra-modern robot that feels like what happens in Switzerland when people with a focus on the past also focus on the future. When I imagine how the watch industry can better interact with the technology industry I think of something like this.What is Cubli? It is a 15cm perfect cube that moves by itself using a series of spinning wheels. The wheels create momentum but also provide balance due to the power of centripetal force. Not being a physicist I am not going to even attempt to explain how it works using all of the proper terms. What you need to know is that it is amazing to see in action. The result is a cube that "walks" and can stay balanced on a point, even on moving surfaces. In addition to moving and balancing, the Cubli can also jump.Inside the Cubli are what the makers refer

omega repair center
Which is the best repair center in the US? Quality of work and return time. I broke the crown on my 2254 and my local watch repair man said that he can not guarantee water resistance because of the helium escape valve.

Oh what a feeling...
I believe most of us would not deny that one of the best parts of our hobby/passion is the first days after receiving a watch that you have patiently waited for...sometimes weeks, months, or even years.Yesterday I had the pleasure of wearing my new 5167 for the first time...outstanding is the first word that comes to mind!! Thank you so much for all the wonderful information that is posted in this forum, it really helped me to decide to get back to the Aquanaut.But I digress....Two years ago I purchased my first Patek (5167 on bracelet) and to be honest I really never warmed up to the look on the bracelet. We all know what happens next, I traded this piece towards 2 Rolex models just 4 months later. Looking back that was a mistake as I should have just ordered a rubber strap & clasp. Fast forward to two months ago when my wife and I were spending a long weekend away from the kids. Of course I stopped into the Patek dealer that was in the city we escaped to and after trying on a 516

The quintessential Luminor?
Hey guis. I'm still relatively new to Panerai, but I'm fascinated by the history of the brand. Already picked up a 210, but am now looking to acquire a Luminor.So I'd love to hear suggestions on which models best represent the Panerai DNA. At this point, I'm open to current, discontinued, or special edition models, and am focused on 44mm cases given my relatively small wrist size (6.5 ).Looking forward to your suggestions. Thanks!
