Linde Werdelin Launches SpidoLite II
Linde Werdelin creates modern, industrial-looking timepieces with complex, angular cases that combine Danish design and Swiss craftsmanship.

Find wallpaper and pricing inside. The SpidoLite II case measures 44mm x 46mm and consists of 32 components that form two primary structures: a cylindrical chamber that carries the movement and locks on the sapphire crystal caseback, and a skeletonized outer case that surrounds the inner chamber and acts as the attachment point for the strap.The SpidoLite II case is created on two different 5-axis machines.

Before and after pics of a Datora 785 barn find!
Hi, here's some pre and post servicing pics of my 1946 Breitling Datora Valjoux 72C Triple date 785 in 18k Rose gold in pictures. Here are the pictures before this virtual barn find was serviced And here are pictures after a movement service and a cleanup by Craig Chrondeco, who made sure that everything remained original on the watch while at the same time bringing it to it's former glory so that I could wear it more often, giving me a glimpse and feel of what the original owner might have felt like wearing this watch when he bought it in 1946, the pictures say it best!Job performed: A simple dial cleanup to remove any dirt/grime/stains and a movement only service[img]i1157.photobucket/albums/p591/cruvon/IMG_0057.jpg[/imgand a wrist shot

Patek Moment- Quick Story
Long story short- I was talking to a coworker today who said he would love to own an automatic watch one day, 'you know the kind that doesn't need a battery'. I nodded my head and smiled thinking about the millions of watches he could be referencing- from simple to grand complication..... He looked down at my watch and said, is that one of the ones that doesn't need a battery? I took my PP5167 off, handed it to him with the caseback forward so he immediately saw the movement.He had no clue what a Patek was, the name, the history, how much it was, or anything about it.But he did recognize what a rotor was, and how the watch worked, and yes it was 'the kind that doesn't need a battery'. He took a minute to stare at the detail and mechanics.... and then all he said was; this is exquisite, priceless...then handed it back to me with a smile and thanked me for showing him.Couldn't have been happier sharing that moment with a friend.Best
