A. Lange & S?hne Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon (Updated with Live Photos and Price)
The latest ticking chef d’oeuvre from Saxon watchmaker A. Lange & S?hne is a horological triple threat and then some. Unveiled this week at SIHH 2016 in Geneva, the A. Lange & S?hne Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon incorporates three major complications with five supplementary functions.The three complications are a flyback chronograph, a perpetual calendar, and a tourbillon (not a complication in the classical sense but widely regarded as one by many, and certainly a mark of high watchmaking expertise). As is typical with Lange, however, there is more to each of these mechanisms, as we discover by examining each word in this new model's moniker. Datograph is A. Lange & S?hne's designation for the combined mechanism of a column-wheel chronograph, with a precisely jumping minute counter and a flyback function, and the typical Lange outsize date indication. For this watch, Lange incorporated the system that it unveiled to great acclaim in its Datograph Up/Down model, w

Video: How Harry Winston’s New Opus XIII Works
As per usual, Harry Winston generated a fair amount of buzz at the 2013 Baselworld watch fair with the latest timepiece in its haute-de-gamme Opus collection. This year’s piece, the Opus XIII, turned heads with its 242 functional rubies and unconventional time indication by means of tiny, pivoting markers around the dial. Developed in cooperation with watchmaker Ludovic Ballouard, who helped develop F.P. Journe’s Grand Sonnerie, the Opus XIII has 11 triangular hour hands, which peek out from a dome in the dial’s center and retract at the end of each hour, and 59 little minute markers (each five-minute marker is red-tipped), which pivot toward the center of the dial as a new minute begins. At the end of the hour, all 59 minute markers pivot back to their original position?at once, in a dynamic, wave-like motion, and the process begins again. To see the watch, and its ultra-complicated twin-barrel movement, in action, click below the photo to see Harry Winston’s o

Geneva Patek Boutique Visit
Recently got back from Geneva from a watch binge... lol. We visited the Patek boutique in the city center. They had these 3 beauties! They had all of the Nautilus models to see if I wished. They were not for sale and only there so clients can try them on, but what a treat it was. The 5726 is calling my name!! I just don't know if I can endure the wait time.... The gentlemen was nice enough to take us to the 5th floor where they hold client events overlooking the lake. No pictures were allowed of the interior though. Certainly a great experience.

Help Identify Early 1900s' Patek Philippe Wristwatch
Wondering if anyone would like to id this watch. It was owned by my wife's aunt, who lives in Geneva. Her husband, a member of Georgian royalty, was gifted this watch in the early 1900s, perhaps before 1918...PatekPhilippe by MaximumSeven, on Flickr

Decision (almost) made...Aquanaut Final Question: 5164A or 5167A
You guys have been great and have helped me get to where I am with my decision. My final dilemma : 5167A or 5164A I'm on the fence and like both of these very much. There's a pretty big price jump from the 5167 to the 5164 and I already have a Rolex GMT, but I like the aesthetics better of the 5164. My thought is to get the 5167, but do you think I will regret it? Or, be happy that I saved 15k and get another Patek :) ?
