Jaquet Droz The Bird Repeater Watch + Video
I sat here pondering possible "bird" puns and idioms that might apply to an opening statement for discussing this extremely high-end and limited minute repeater automaton - and they all just felt really silly. No jokes need apply because this is a rather cool and serious timepiece by Jaquet Droz that allows you to use your imagination in making up your own nicknames for the Swiss brand's new "The Bird Repeater" timepiece.A couple of days ago we shared with you a?sneak, first-look at The Bird Repeater here. Finally ready for debut, the watch has been the subject of several years of development and a dream for the brand which painstakingly searches for novel ways to connect the modern Jaquet Droz with that of the past. The result is a limited edition of just 16 watches that Jaquet Droz coins as being a "true automaton" with technology dating back to the "age of enlightenment."[youtube youtubewatches-dealer/watch?v=TV-SZQcS23Q&version=3&hl=en_US]Inside The Bird Repeater watch is

eBay Germany: So Many More Watches Not Available In The USA
You'll probably notice at some point or another that many of your watch searches on eBay come up with little results. You'll hear about a great small watch maker based out of Germany or Switzerland, go to eBay or the forums to see what you can find, and nothing! Are people not selling these watches? Are they so rare? No, the simple answer is that very few make it to the US.In fact, even while this statistic is rising, the US only consumes about 15% of the wrist watch market. Newly invigorated marketing efforts are attempting to remedy this, but the bottom line is that the US is often overlooked when it comes to distribution of many watches. Europe, the Middle East, and Asia enjoy most of where the watches are going. Especially when it comes to the "boutique" makers.This seems a strange fact, but when it comes down to it, watch makers feels that the US consumers just don't appreciate watches like some other countries do. Take the fact that most of the watches sold in the US are inexpens

5980/1A (white) or 5960/1A
Just received a call from my AD.. Out of surprise while I am STILL waiting for my 5235G (I missed the opportunity recently due to my traveling schudule), I am being offered both double sealed 5980/1A (white) and the 5960/1A both at the same price. I owned a 5980/1A briefly (for only a week) before, sold it to a good friend who love the watch more than I do during that time and now I kinda regret cos I like even more now than ever and getting a brand new double sealed is not easy. I think out of all the SS 5980, the white dial is least popular.. I only seen them in the wild couple of times while the black and blue are common (I love the blue btw) The 5960/1A is really hot right now and it is one of the latest PP, hence will be a great addition maybe might end up too popular? No? PS. I am buying the watch for my own use. Daily beater. Love to hear your thoughts.Thank you in advance for your kind feedbacks! .. Jane
