Nik Wallenda Takes JeanRichard To New Heights Over Grand Canyon
You no doubt have heard the news (or perhaps even watched the live broadcast) of Nik Wallenda crossing over the Little Colorado River Gorge (near the Grand Canyon), 1500 feet in the air without a tether on June 23, 2013. ?What you may not have caught is the fact he was wearing a watch from JeanRichard as Wallenda is JeanRichard's latest brand ambassador (Ariel had dinner with him and vouches that he is indeed a nice guy).The watch in question that crossed the Canyon was the JeanRichard Terrascope (pictured up top, and reviewed right here). ?At first, it may seem a little odd that someone would wear a $3,500 watch in a stunt like this - not to mention the fact of having that extra unbalanced weight. ?But, when you realize that Mr. Wallenda is a brand ambassador for JeanRichard, it all makes sense. Eventually there will be a limited edition version of the watch for Wallenda.If you're going to take risks like this (and with as wide as an audience as this viewing had), you'd might as well

Alain Silberstein Watches took active part in the quartz boom
It is quite surprising to know that it introduced a hands free smoking ring back then which was an instant hit. Today this company deals mainly in computers and other electronic gadgets. It started its watch expedition way back in the 70's. They were a major manufacturer of quartz watches during those days. That is to say that Alain Silberstein Watches took active part in the quartz boom and were quite successful in doing so.

Bring a Loupe: Chronometers And Chronographs From Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, Universal Geneve, And Many Others
The watches you see today in Bring A Loupe don't joke around. You can expect to find the aptly named Chronometre Royal from Vacheron Constantin with all its original chronometer certificates. No less precise is the Zenith 40T, a testimony of this manufacture's ability to reach extreme precision. We also bring you a full set Daytona, and a far-from-perfect Universal Geneve Uni-Compax. This is your Bring A Loupe for April 1, 2016. A Zenith Chronometre With Caliber 40T 1 OF 11 The dial of this Zenith reveals so much about this chronometer, even quoting the name of its caliber 40T in a very interesting script above the seconds sub-register. Zenith boasts incredible credentials when it comes to chronometer movements, its caliber 135 notably winning the chronometer competition from the Neuchatel Observatory for nothing less than 5 years in a row, from 1950 to 1954. The 40T is of smaller dimensions but displays the same level of quality and precision, through a simple ye

Stupid AP question
I would like one day to get a RG watch, but the 44 will probably be too big for me, plus I don't really care for chronos, it would be awesome if AP one day made a RG diver with ceramic bezel on rubber, so if anyone has close ties with AP management, I know some here do, would be just great if they slipped from time to time in a conversation how great it would be if AP did that, I would 100% get that as my 3rd watch to have my dream trio.What do you think about such a watch? I think it would be really awesome but don't know if it's AP's style to make a RG diver, at the same time most divers of other brands are available in RG and AP did make their diver in different materials...
