Audemars Piguet 2009 Corporate Watch Making Film
Ignore the first 30-60 seconds of this film, it gets really cool after that. I love watching stuff like this because it actually does a very good job at showing you how watches are made at houses like Audemars Piguet. Yes, you need to know what to look for, but pay attention to the tools and techniques used to polish and decorate the movements. This process literally takes up most of the time in watch movement assembly. While the film is supposed to take place in the 19th century (even though some of the stuff looks really modern), the same process is used today to make high-end luxury watch movements. Take the hand-spun machine that spins the movement plate around, today it is just done with machines but that are more often than not still controlled by a human operator. There are no automatic decoration or finishing processes for this level of watch making - just good ol' manual processes to give it that unique human touch.Enough of my intro, check the clip of this "corporate movie" a

Incoming - RG 44mm
Had my eye on this all summer and after Brexit made things tougher for us Brits I finally landed my dream AP. The RG 44 is a truly magnificent piece, muscularly beautiful and dynamic. In fact it has so many visual delights that I did something I haven't done in 20 years, I missed my tube/train stop.It actually wears a bit smaller than I remembered and while it is a big watch, its lugs fall just within my 6.8 inch wrists and feels fine.Big thanks to Alex and his epic and inspirational 44 thread.

Omega in "Killing Kennedy"
My copy of this months National Geographic just arrived this morning and I was having a flick through it while I had lunch.On the inside back cover I noticed an advert for a new National Geographic docu-drama called Killing Kennedy staring Rob Lowe. In the ad he appears to be wearing the square Omega that Kennedy made famous...I can't tell whether it's original or the re-issue but at least they're making the effort.After the Argo debacle, with Ben Affleck wearing a Rolex Deep Sea throughout despite the movie being set in the seventies, it's nice to see producers looking at watches and trying to get it right!
