Breitling for Bentley Masterpiece: A Tribute to “W.O.”
Each year, Breitling creates a unique piece named Bentley Masterpiece: a mechanical magnum opus combining tradition, performances and the finest craftsmanship. This year at Baselworld, Breitling will unveil its new, one-of-a-kind Grande Complication pocket watch dedicated to the Bentley’s founder. The 2010 Masterpiece combines two sophisticated complications: a perpetual calendar displaying the date, day, month, leap years and moon phases, and a minute repeater. The movement, based on a late 19th century blank of which Breitling found just a few examples in its workshops, comprises almost 700 parts. The refined finishing �C hand polishing, chamfering, and C?tes de Gen��ve �C is visible through a transparent caseback. In tribute to Walter Owen Bentley, the cover of the 18-carat yellow gold case is adorned with an engraving depicting him at the wheel of one of his racing models. This portrait is accompanied by the famous W.O. initials by which the engineers and craftsmen of the Brit

Maitres du Temps Chapter Two Watch Video From TheTimeTV
Appreciating the Maitres du Temps Chapter Two watch gets even easier seeing stunning live video of the watch. Founder and owner Steven Holtzman discusses the luxury timepiece in this new video by aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer content partner TheTimeTvwatches-dealer. He takes a good approach to discussing the "volume" line (still only about 200 a year) of Maitres du Temps watches compared to the ultra exclusive Chapter One watch. The video is worth a view not only because of the discussion, but also because of the crafty video of the watch itself. You really get a good feel for the curves, the beauty, the finish, and the boldness of the dial. It keeps getting better looking each time I see it.The Chapter Two watch will retail for $66,000 and features the 18 rose gold case (white gold will likely be available in the future as well) and automatic movement with triple date complication (big date, day of the week, month). I've written about the Chapter Two watch pretty extensively, and covered

Speedmaster reserve power
I recently acquired a used Speedmaster triple date 3523.80. It's about nine years old. I'm not concerned about its authenticity, but was curious about its reserve power. The specs on this say 44 hours. I wound it up manually and let it sit undisturbed until it ran out. It lasted just over 52 hours. Is this an anomaly or do others have similar experiences with their Omegas?

Sub C Power Reserve
HI all, I have noticed my 4 year old Sub C's power reserve is down to about 41 hours. It actually achieved 50 hours when I first bought it. I suspect the watch is a little older than 4 years as the serial dates to around 2011 although I get that is not exact. It was bought new at an AD back in the day when they had several in stock and the 114060 hung around for a while. The good old days!In any event it is still keeping perfect time, about +1.5 seconds per day. I don't plan to do anything at this point. If it starts keeping time poorly or if I lose a significant amount of power reserve I will send it in. Just curious on other members thoughts here?Cheers.

Do you name your watch?
I am one of those guys that gives things names. If it has a motor it gets a name. Other things I own that have a special place in my heart might get named as well. For example, specific golf clubs, those things that go bang that we can't talk about, my Big Green Egg, etc. Anyway, does anyone name their watches? Mine Sub is Lexie and my DJII is Rhonda.
