Gustafsson & Sjogren Bifrost Isbla Damascus Steel Dress Watch
According to Gustafsson & Sjogren, the watchmaker/bladesmith combo team out of Sweden, the Bifrost represents their first dress watch collection. I sort of have to disagree with that premise, as many of their other watches could have easily seen dress watch duty (depending on your style). A good example is the superlative Gustafsson & Sjogren Winter Nights watches (hands-on here) that combine a lot of design and watchmaking nerd appeal.Having said that, the upcoming Bifrost collection will certainly suffice as a casual or dress watch, if you feel that one of Johan Gustafsson's "high contrast" individually-made Damascus steel dials is suitable to pair with your suit. As is their custom, each new watch collection from Gustafsson & Sjogren (aka, GoS Watches) begins with an individual model which will later be followed up with others that feature varying dial styles and possibly colors. Using various techniques and acids, the hand-forged Damascus steel dials can be rendered in

Photo Report: Inside The Breguet New Bond Street Boutique In London
There are few watch manufacturers you expect to have a boutique in the prestigious Bond Street district in London, but Breguet is definitely one of them. The boutique was reopened in May of last year after undergoing major renovation, which doubled the floor space to 190 square meters. 1 OF 38 2 OF 38 The mixture of walnut and granite encourages a very warm and intimate experience. The building itself is extremely old and had to be reinforced with steel in order to be kept standing. Accompanied by modern glass walls and cabinets, this design is truly where tradition and history meet the present. 3 OF 38 Walking up to the second floor, a private viewing room offers a relaxed and intimate atmosphere for clients wanting to have closer look at the timepieces. 4 OF 38 The third floor houses a lounge area with a small library. The open fireplace and surrounding seating give the room the feel of a luxurious modern Swiss chalet. 5 OF 386

Major jump in prices on Vintage Watchco Seamaster builds!
I was just checking Ebay for Vintage Seamaster 300s as I often do, and came across a few Watchco listings for their newly built Vintage Seamaster 300. They had been asking a buy it now of $3700 just a few weeks ago. Today the buy it now is $4400.I knew the day would come that the prices on these would go through the roof...that time is now. As some of you are aware I built three of these in the last few months and due to price increases I have stopped doing builds of my own. Glad I got in on them while they were still reasonable. One of my builds is still my daily wearer and favorite watch I have ever owned.If anyone is considering one, or has been, you better get one now before they are $5000.

Panerai P.5000 in-house movement question?
I recently picked up a new Panerai Radiomir 609 with their in-house p.5000 movement. I had a 510 Luminor for awhile with the same caliber, but traded it off. I've found that I much prefer the Radiomir case shape. With that said, I'm curious as to the accuracy of the movement. I really have two questions...1. How many seconds +/- should the movement be per day since it isn't COSC certified?2. When it comes to precisely setting the time, since this movement is non-hacking do those of you with this watch typically hold the crown to pause the second hand or should this be avoided? I know this was the process with the manual-wind Speedmaster. I just thought I would ask to make sure I am following the proper procedures when setting the watch before attempting this.I know with some watches it isn't recommended to wind time backwards, but I think that may be a thing of the past? I remember with a Speedy, just the slightest amount of back pressure on the crown would effectively pause the second
