Watch Insider Reviews Breguet’s New Chiming Watch, Ref. 7800 Classique ��La Musicale��
With the push of a button at 10 o'clock, or when it strikes a pre-set time, Breguet’s new Ref. 7800 Classique “La Musicale” plays “Badinerie,” composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Click here to discover the details of the watch and listen to its chimes, in this featured article from my blog, Watch-Insider.The first “La Musicale” watch inspired a great deal of discussion when it first came out in 2012, because apart from telling the time, it also housed a remarkable, patented, musical chiming mechanism that played Rossini’s aria, “The Thieving Magpie.” At Baselworld 2013, La Montre Breguet proudly introduced a new version of this revolutionary timepiece. This rose-gold watch is still fitted with Breguet's self-winding 777 movement, with silicon used for the escapement and balance spring. In this model, when the push-piece at 10 o'clock is activated, or when a pre-set time arrives, the musical piece played by the chimes is Bach

Luxury Watch Industry's Dilemma In Hong Kong
Photo Credit: Jason FungAround the world, people are carefully watching news about the protests in Hong Kong. From the popular #OccupyHongKong hashtag and bloggers on the streets to the mainstream press, I think the world is curious to see how Beijing will handle the delicate political situation in China's strongest economic market. Something that is beginning to make itself clear is that the protests in Hong Kong related to free rule will hugely impact on the luxury watch industry, now and going forward.Let's put things into context. Hong Kong isn't just the "gateway to the Asian watch market," but is one of the world's most important places for the watch industry. In an article on this exact topic, John Revill at the Wall Street Journal reports that exports to Hong Kong alone represent between about 15-20% of the overall global sales at corporations such as the Swatch Group, LVMH, and Richemont. Hong Kong represents a huge part of their business.Furthermore, Hong Kong has been the fo

Ulysse Nardin Classico Lady Watch with a ring of Sapphire around it
In addition to jewels the dial is made of a complex to the enamel. The great case of 35 mm is 18 k white gold. While the design of the dial is a bit jaded for me, I cannot deny the jewellery-like effort involved in the production. what I don't like, it is the shape of the lugs and Crown, with a ring of Sapphire around it.

My Custom Breitling Bentley. What Do You Think?
hey guys,I just wanted to pop in and share some photo's with you guys and see what everyone thinks?I had this 5.2 carat bezel made for my breitling bentley 6.75the thing that is so cool about this bezel is I had it made to function and look like the factory bezel. This bezel still spins the inner bezel.. it fully functions and has the same notches on the out side like the original.. As most aftermarket bezels are presure fitted. this one is attached to the watch by 4 screws just like the original bezel.The only question I had for you guys if anyone know this i hope? This bezel was die struck not cast.. which is a better way to make bezels is by die struck so i'm told.My question is, I was told due to stainless steel being to hard to work with to make a bezel that functions like this one, they made it out of plad and mixed alloys like polladium silver nickel and a little stainless steel. I have never heard of anything like that before. I guess they just needed a softer metal to work wit

Pam 389
So, I am lusting over 389, but I am seeing a problem which really bothers me. I have examined this watch from AD and boutique and I have studied countless pictures online and I can say that the bubble markers on the bezel don't line up with the markers on the dial. I don't think it can be fixed with re-aligning the bezel. Typically I see that 30min hole is slightly off, sometimes 15min hole does not line up when all other holes line up. For 389 owners, do you have this problem, does that bother you at all??
