The Montblanc Metamorphosis II Transforms Before Your Eyes (With Video)
At Hong Kong's Watches and Wonders Fair this year, Montblanc introduced the Metamorphosis II, a watch that takes its name quite literally. With the slide of a lever, it transforms: subdials retract to reveal a wholly different display and set of functions. Read on to see how it works. The Metamorphosis II further develops a concept from the Montblanc TimeWriter I: Metamorphosis, which Montblanc introduced in 2010. Now in a fully rounded rose-gold case with a 52-mm diameter, the Metamorphosis II provides a more classically elegant version of the transforming watch.?At first blush, the Metamorphosis II employs design cues drawn from other Montblanc dress watches. The dial has a regulator-like design: a seconds hand is mounted at the center, along with a retrograde minutes hand that arcs just slightly more than 180 degrees.

The Artistry Of Horology: Audemars Piguet Watches At Art Basel Switzerland
Last year in 2013, Audemars Piguet inaugurated its first Art Basel show. The storied Swiss watch maker began its initial five year contract with the world-renowned art industry event whose conventions take place in cities such as Miami and Hong Kong.

PAM buckle or clasp?
Hi PAM people!I have a PAM 328 now mounted on a OEM brown aligator strap. I dont mind changing strap, but sometimes to change de buckle can be a pain.I am thinking to buy a new buckle, or a couple. Now the questions, for the OEM straps, can I put a deployant clasp on it? I know some others are thicker. If so, do you recommend it to avoid punishing the strap less? And if so, which one to get? The PAM one is quie expensive, any good ones?If you recommend the buckle, where can I get it? Best,Guillermo
