Bathys Cesium 133 Atomic Clock Watch Now On Kickstarter
Bathys is, without a doubt, one of the more unique American watch brands currently in operation. We know this because out of nowhere they developed the world's first atomic clock wrist watch. Prior to last year, it was sort of an idiosyncratic?brand, with those who knew of the brand singing it's high praises (but more weren't even aware of their watches). That all changed in late 2013, when news of them creating a watch accurate to 1 second in 1000 years began to come out.How this is done is more a feat of technical wizardry than anything, and not something you'd expect to see in a watch. Ariel's preview and hands-on time with the prototype ?cover a lot of the technical details, but suffice it to say�Cthis watch houses it's own atomic clock, and generates (on-board) the signal that keeps the formerly-quartz movement on track.As our articles progressed, pricing has come down. Initially projected to be well over $12,000, it was estimated to be a more reasonable $8,000 or so. Well, now tha

Video: a question on 5270/ 5170 chronograph second hand
Dear All,I have come across a thread and video from a 5170 owner in another forum, who noticed a very small pause of the chronograph hand while passing the 0/60 second markI found the same behaviour in my 5270 (which share the same CH29 based caliber). It does not happen in each and every time, but in around half of the occasions. The pause is very subtle, but if you deliberately look for it at the 0/60 second mark, it can be seen. Hence I did not notice it after wearing my 5270 for few months, until I read that post.Recently I met a staff of the PP service center at a horology event and he told me that it is normal for the CH29 caliber to have this very slight pause of the chronograph second hand while passing the 0/60 second mark in some of the time, which may be related to the power diversion to the instantaneous minute counter.It will be great if other fellow 5270/ 5170 owners can share their experience.I have attached a video of my 5270 showing the subtle pause of chronograph seco

His and hers arrived
Just wanna say thanks to all forums members for all your posts. Wife and I finally pulled the trigger on a his and hers. Happy wife happy life. Her wrist is super tiny but the 1392 works for her and she loves it, as do I love my 359.

Possible surprise for wife to be on wedding day
As the title says Im thinking of surprising my wife to be with a Rolex on our wedding day. She is so supportive of me and anything I do,buy or want to get involved with. When I was looking for my Rolex she was excited for me to go see them and try them on and what not. She even said wow those are nice and how she would never buy herself one. Anyways I have it narrowed down to 2 watches which I remembered her saying she liked. The first is the Ladies Datejust 36 116200 with the pink floral /cogs face. 2nd choice is the datejust 26 179174 with the blue sticks face. My question is I cant seem to locate the blue datejust in person to see it. So looking to TRF to see if anyone owns the dateust in the blue for some pics. Im leaning more towards that one a) due to the size (she is a small petite lady) and think it would look better/fit her better and b) she loves blue. The pink is nice when she saw it in person but it was kinda big for her.
