New Manufacture Movement Powers Calibre de Cartier
At SIHH last week, Cartier introduced a new in-house automatic movement known as 1904-PS MC. It powers the new men’s Calibre de Cartier line. The movement features twin barrels to provide a steady flow of power to the escapement, and the regulation system allows for fine adjustment to increase timekeeping accuracy. A stop-seconds system facilitates synchronization to a reference signal. Cartier also paid close attention to the winding system. Ceramic ball bearings at the center of the rotor ensure excellent shock resistance and durability. Cartier abandoned reversers in favor of a pawl system to speed winding, and a bi-directional full-size rotor assures maximum winding efficiency. The movement measures 25.6mm in diameter and 4mm thick and it beats at 28.800 vph. The power reserve is 48 hours. The rotor and upper bridges are finished with traditional C?tes de Gen��ve, and the main plate, which is hidden from view, is circular-grained.The Calibre de Cartier case measures 42mm in di

Eone Bradley Watch Surprises Kickstarter With A Visually Appealing Watch For The Blind
It's an unfortunate fact that the world of watches is fundamentally geared towards those who have the ability to see. Eone Timepieces is looking to change that with the Bradley, a watch designed to be read in a tactile manner regardless of your ability to see the watch. Eone takes it a step further and makes the Bradley pretty cool looking as well - which in a way is ironic given that it is meant for people who cannot see. Clearly the public agrees that there is a market for such a watch since the company's $40,000 Kickstarter goal has been shattered to a total nearing $300,000 at the time of writing. Obviously Eone is doing something right.Sure, "talking" cheap digital watches have existed for some time and I've seen some feeble attempts at braille watches before but none have looked and felt like legitimate watches. There are a few design elements which point to making the Bradley a success where others fall short. Time is indicated by two ball bearings ?which ride in a pair of track

Glimpse Into The Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Gen��ve 2009 Video
Us poorly situated Americans oft not get to enjoy such events as the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Gen��ve 2009. High-brow and ritzy, it is one of the most notable watch awards around. Here you have a viewing room (that is quite well executed), showing the guests views of the watches up for consideration. I like that no watch is given any higher level of importance in comparison to any other watch, and that they are each on spinning stand, so that you can see the entire watch.The award show came and went, and the winners were announced (see link below for more on that as well the and video below). In the video above you can hear a bit about the criteria for choosing nominees. They take this stuff quite seriously, as they should. The list of winners is quite interesting. The big boys of watch making get most of the attention. This also includes the so called independent watch makers that are well-funded in comparison to less well-funded indy watch makers. The politics behind the award are a
