Hands-On: The Breitling Emergency, Or The Safest We��ve Ever Been With A Watch
Last week, we welcomed astronaut Scott Kelly back to Planet Earth following his 342-day mission in space by taking a look at some of his watches – both in flight and on Earth. And many of you expressed some interest in what appeared to be a larger-than-life 51 mm wristwatch. It is in fact very real – developed specifically for the most perilous missions. Today, we go hands-on with the Breitling Emergency (not Kelly’s mind you). 1 OF 12 A follow up to the 1995 Emergency, this version (originally introduced as the Emergency II, although the "II" has been dropped) the watch presents an improved personal locator beacon (PLB) capable of transmitting its coordinates on two separate frequencies. The decision to create a dual-frequency version of the original Emergency is a result of the decision, by emergency beacon monitoring agency Cospas-Sarsat, to phase out its satellite monitoring at the long-standard 121.5 MHz aviation emergency frequency &ndash

In-Depth: PHOTO REPORT: Inside The Breguet Museum In Paris
This is one of the those places that if people only knew existed, would be an absolute hot spot on the global watch lovers tour. Sitting above Breguet's beautiful boutique on the Place Vendôme in Paris is a Breguet museum, and a remarkably impressive one at that. It's a museum that until I visited it this past week, I, frankly, did not even know existed. And if you're a fan of horology at all, it is nothing short of a "must-see". Here's why:Breguet as we know it today is a large and somewhat secretive manufacture of high-end timepieces. They regularly tout themselves as some of the finest watches in the world, and they've spent a literal fortune on ensuring that watch lovers en masse know this is indeed the brand founded by Abraham-Louis Breguet, indisputably the most important watchmaker that ever lived.  That's all well and good, but it's very easy to gloss over all that without actual SEEING the connection between the Swatch-owned

Frank Lampard Patek WIS
Looks like Frank was wearing a 5204P for his big day and a 5070P on the day before. What a perfect combo of watches - big respect!.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...s-wedding.htmlHis cousin Jamie Redknapp is also a WIS who I believe also collects PP's.

Is there a panerai alternative?
I was just looking around for a watch which was abit casual, yet still has that it factor (history, quality or awesome design? I have no idea how to describe the it which makes a Pam what it is). I settled on a panerai radiomir, due to its slightly dressier styling than the luminor and slimmer profile. Either a 380, 337 or a 512 are models which I would consider. But I want to mix it up abit and compare other watches in that price range which might be an alternative to the radiomir and I've come up lacking.... A couple of brands which I've looked at: 1. bell & Ross (their square cases seem bulky and the fact that the screws done line up would drive me mad)2. margarette (yes. They are much more affordable and I've owned one before... But it just didn't do much for me). So my question is, have you had a serious alternative before when you were considering getting a panerai? And why?
