BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends October 10, 2014
To kick off October, I'm happy to say that our Editor-In-Chief has finally had the opportunity to handle and try out the Apple Watch for himself. And even though many things have?been said about it, you don't want to miss our extensive coverage of what is quite possibly one of the most eagerly anticipated products in the history of technology and horology.Apart from our comprehensive writeup of the Apple Watch, we also pay homage to A. Lange & S?hne, as they celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic Lange One and also the 25th anniversary of the reunification of Germany. Next, we turn our attention to watch movement advertising and also discuss the technicalities and nuances surrounding in-house watch movements. And as for new watches, we get up close and personal with the new Nomos Ahoi Atlantik, which has a very nice gilt dial; and also a very exclusive and stunning version of Hublot's Big Bang Ferrari watch.To close, we take a look at the Hong Kong watch industry and how comp

Introducing The Piaget Altiplano Scrimshaw, With A Dial Made Of 40,000 Year Old Mammoth Tusk (Live Pics, Details, & Pricing)
A few weeks ago, we gave you a hands-on look at the Piaget 900P, the thinnest mechanical watch in the world. But this isn't the only new watch Piaget is showing at SIHH. The Altiplano Scrimshaw features a dial made from fossilized mammoth ivory that is then engraved with a map of the Eastern Hemisphere using traditional scrimshaw techniques. Each dial takes 65 hours to produce and these watches really are unique little works of art. 2 OF 15 The Altiplano Scrimshaw starts simply enough – a 38mm Altiplano case in either white or pink gold with an in-house 400P ultra-thin calibre. While these are admirable as-is, this watch is all about the special dial. A piece of preserved mammoth ivory (approximately 40,000 years old) is shaped into a dial that comes in around 1.7mm thick. From there, the dial is engraved with a map and a compass rose using traditional Scrimshaw techniques.Scrimshaw is a special type of engraving that can be traced back to the Inuits and other t

Omega Dealers in Pennsylvania?

A beautiful start to the day here in Siem Reap so why not wear a beautiful watch to breakfast. Rude not to. But Ruud did do Here's a couple of shots of that incredible blue dial which I hope you like (Apologies for the multiple posts but I can't do it any other way from an iOS device)

Rolex damaged badly in accident!
NOT MINE.... It is of one of the good youtuber who does watch reviews. He reviewed the Rolex loaned from a friend and he was ready to buy it for $5K. He was going to meet him with the watch and kept on the rooftop and put his daughter in car seat etc and forgot about the watch until he was half way. He came back to see his Rolex box shattered at the corner of the road with multiple cars crashing it badly. He's paying the guy $5K anyways.My question is.. can this Rolex be ever restored? Is it worth it? I think the restoration will exceed $5K. What do you think? Have you seen such a bad state of a Rolex?Only this much is left of the watch.What can be done? Thanks.
