Prometheus Sailfish Review
The Prometheus Watch Company has been producing unique tool watches since 2008. The Portugal based brand hit a real stride, making a name for themselves, with their now discontinued Ocean Diver series. These rugged tool divers had distinctive looks and apparently exceptional build quality that gave the brand a cult status. Other models, such as the uniquely faceted Trireme and the surprisingly elegant Signatura have kept the brand's status and popularity strong.Their most recent, the Sailfish, is a lower priced offering with vintage inspired looks. Specifically, as their website states, the watch takes cues from the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms from the early 50's. This classic dive watch served as the basis for many of the features, both physical and graphic, that are seen on contemporary dives watches. That said, the Sailfish is not an homage watch to the Fifty Fathoms, like the Helson Skindiver, as the inspiration seems limited. Specifically, the Sailfish takes its visual centerpiece, th

Introducing: The Senfine Concept Watch From Parmigiani Fleurier, With An Amazing Escapement That All
?At any given SIHH or Baselworld, you’re obviously always going to see a plethora (to put it mildly) of new watches, but one thing you don’t see very often is a new escapement. That’s because designing a new escapement – much less one that can actually be produced in large enough numbers to be commercially viable – is probably the single biggest problem in watchmaking. Over the centuries since the very first – the verge escapement – was used in clocks, there have really been only a handful that have been used extensively, and in watchmaking, it’s a virtually certainty that any watch you buy is going to have a lever escapement. But not this one. 1 OF 7 Omega now uses the Daniels co-axial escapement in all its in-house movements but it was a huge challenge for them to make it and enormously expensive in both time and money to industrialize, and departures from the lever in modern watchmaking tend to be made in very small numbe

My first Omega! Seamaster AT 150M GMT Chronograph
Just wanted to say hello to everyone on the Omega Discussion Forum with my latest acquisition and first Omega! This watch has everything I need in a travel watch. I'm an attorney and travel frequently so both the GMT and the chrono (to keep track of billable time) will both be of frequent use! It's a shame this watch doesn't get much press and there are only a few articles about it online- mostly from when the watch was announced. I think it's a great value for the price. GMT, chronograph, in-house coaxial chronometer movement. I couldn't ask for much more, except perhaps being a bit thinner so it fits under my shirt cuffs better, but I can always order wider cuffs :). It will be taking significant wrist time from my other watches

Patek Moment- Quick Story
Long story short- I was talking to a coworker today who said he would love to own an automatic watch one day, 'you know the kind that doesn't need a battery'. I nodded my head and smiled thinking about the millions of watches he could be referencing- from simple to grand complication..... He looked down at my watch and said, is that one of the ones that doesn't need a battery? I took my PP5167 off, handed it to him with the caseback forward so he immediately saw the movement.He had no clue what a Patek was, the name, the history, how much it was, or anything about it.But he did recognize what a rotor was, and how the watch worked, and yes it was 'the kind that doesn't need a battery'. He took a minute to stare at the detail and mechanics.... and then all he said was; this is exquisite, priceless...then handed it back to me with a smile and thanked me for showing him.Couldn't have been happier sharing that moment with a friend.Best
