Corum Ti-Bridge Tourbillon Watch
Corum just sent me shout-out on this new Tourbillon watch that will be released a few days at Basel 2010. Thus, there will be at least two new tourbillon watches from Corum this year - this Ti-Bridge Tourbillon, and the Admiral's Cup Minute Repeater Tourbillon. While I have really only noticed that "Corum key" logo on the Admiral's Cup models, now it shows up on this new Ti-Bridge, as the top of the cage over what appears to be a flying tourbillon. I must admit that it looks pretty cool. The in-house made movement is very thin in the standard horizontal fashion of the timepiece line. The movement should be made of mostly titanium, and looks to have double barrels (for at least 50-60 hours of power reserve), and of course is manually wound.Like all Ti-Bridge watches the case is going to be beautifully finished. It is really a piece of art and feels so smooth in the hands. You can see all the different forms of titanium in various polishes. The dial looks like it is a screen being framed

German Watchmaker Marco Lang Of Lang & Heyne To Lecture At The Horological Society Of New York
The Horological Society of New York welcomes Marco Lang of Lang & Heyne for a special event on Tuesday, November 17, 2015. Mr. Lang will lecture on the Saxony Way of Independent Watchmaking, and you are invited. 1 OF 2 Marco Lang, Lang & Heyne As a fifth-generation watchmaker, Lang learned early on to value the art of watchmaking by observing his father. He fulfilled his dream of owning a watch manufacture with the foundation of Lang & Heyne, based in Dresden, Germany. 2 OF 2 Lang & Heyne - Albert Lang & Heyne's work is based on two pillars; one is using modern manufacturing systems (CAD or CNC), and the other is using traditional methods. The Lang & Heyne watchmakers often use rediscovered techniques from previous centuries, resulting in timepieces that have a distinct German style. At this HSNY special event, Marco Lang will discuss the creative process of Lang & Heyne watches. All are welcome at the lectur

15300 vs 15450 - both OR
my recent obsession is either of these in OR, on strap, black dial.they are 2mm apart in diameter, but i do like the same-color date wheel on the 450.any owners of either (or both!) so that i can see comparison?would like to see how small the 37mm of the 450 wears relative to the 39mm of the 300.i like the size of my jumbo...so my head tells me the 300 would be preferred (aside from my preference of the same-color date wheel of the 450).however, i have a 36mm day-date in YG on bracelet...and that does feel nice, doesn't feel too small at all.

Replacement Patek box interior - where to buy?
My wife's anual calendar Patek box which is a late 2000s rosewood box I believe. The interior on the piece that holds the watch which is easily removed had a lot of discolouration on it, like purple or brown blotches. We assumed it must be humidity related. Anyway, she wants to part exchange the watch and we are concerned we will be low balled by the store just because of the discolour on the practically worthless element of the box, probably worth about $5 to build. Everything else on the box and watch is mint with papers, but would like this to be mint too so she can get the best value on a part ex
