Hublot Celebrates FIFA World Cup Timekeeper Role With Official World Cup Watch
Hublot has announced the signing of one of the most prestigious agreements in its history. The brand will serve as the Official Timekeeper and Official Watch for the next two FIFA World Cup events in 2010 and 2014. This is the first time in FIFA World Cup history that a watchmaking brand will serve as the Official FIFA Timekeeper and have a presence on the substitution board. To commemorate this agreement, Hublot is unveiling the official licensed watch of the FIFA World Cup: a timepiece reflecting the gold of the coveted FIFA World Cup Trophy. The case, bezel and dial are fashioned from 5N pink gold, with a subtle tone-on-tone drawing of the prestigious FIFA World Cup Trophy at 6 o’clock. The Trophy is also engraved on the solid-gold caseback. The 45mm case houses an automatic-winding HUB1112 caliber.This Classic Fusion model is available in a series of just 100 numbered pieces with an MSRP of $29,500.Technical specifications appear below the images, which may be enlarged with a

VicenTerra Luna Watch
Are you ready to support the semi-crowdsourced VicenTerra Luna watch? The last time I heard from the very-boutique Swiss watchmaker VicenTerra was when the watchmaker in charge was thanking me for writing about his first watch, the GMT-3 back in 2010. Back then their first watch could be had for an incredible deal (comparatively speaking) if you were one of the first to order it. Regular price was 15,000 Swiss Francs but if you were one of the first, the price of the VicenTerra GMT-3 was only 5,000 Swiss Francs. That of course was assuming they had a minimum order requirement - and apparently they did. Now, almost four years later, VicenTerra released word of their second watch, and it will be similarly based on a pre-order model.The deal isn't as sweet as before, but the watch is arguably more elegant and beautiful, even though the theme is the same. The watchmaker behind the GMT-3 and now the Luna is Mr. Vincent Plomb. In addition to being a rather impressive watchmaker, Vincent is a

Omega Boutique NYC Service and Experience
Hey all,I had a weird issue with my speedster recently that land me in the service department of the NYC Omega Boutique. The issue was apparently caused by over lubrication from a recent service which in turn led to some oil to seem slightly onto the dial.Also, while I was there i told them the watch was running about 10 seconds fast per day, which normally won't bring me all the way in to NYC but since i was there maybe they could have a look.So, after about 15-20 minutes, we discovered my watch was actually magnetized which is why it was running so fast (actually +11 seconds per day) and the excess oil was easily absorbed with some special puddy the watch maker uses for exactly this problem.Now the dial is clean, the watch is running +3 seconds per day, the case is pressure tested and I am a happy Omega owner, all free of charge. They even send me home with a nice Omega red zippered travel pouch! (see pics)Obviously I am very pleased with the outcome of the visit, but I also have t
