Hermes Clipper Automatic Chronograph Watch For 2010
As a man, my favorite collection of watches from Hermes has always been the Clipper. It has evolved a bit over the years, but has always been a very tasteful sport watches from a well-regarded luxury brand. I've always been drawn to Clipper watches not because of the Hermes name, but because of the design. They have always reminded me of instruments on fine ships. Gee, with a name like Clipper I am sure that this is hardly an accident. Funny how you can seem to almost never go wrong giving a watch some manner of boat or marine theme.Like Cartier, Hermes has recently been on a mission to assert itself as a serious watch maker, more than just a high-quality fashion brand. Even if they are just a high-quality fashion brand, that is fine. But there is more to the brand that just those people. The have some beautiful skeletonized watches, and other artistic creations (for example these Hermes tie pattern watches here). Also innovations and interesting things in the movement and mechanical d

the person who takes to the effort to look at their Corum watch closely
Not to be underestimated in this mix must also be the simple love of beautiful objects. Many high-end complications will be given extra attention to visual details of their dials, hands, layout and case designs in order to distinguish them from other timepieces as well as to visually echo the fact that they contain something unusual. Some movements can be simply stunning when we recognize them as the miniature kinetic sculptures they are, a delight to the eye of the person who takes to the effort to look at their Corum watch closely.

This or That - Playing Field Leveled
So I had a chance to stop by the NYC AP Boutique...yet again. And the lovely people there had both a new 15400 and a new 15300 (with the updated clasp and bracelet). So for me it's now all about which size is best for me. I don't really have much of an opinion about dial design but I do think that if I went for a 15300 I'd look for a white dial with the updated clasp/bracelet as it makes the watch look a little bigger (Mike's continuous barrage of pics also helps)Here are the pics. I hate you all for pushing me into the awesome and expensive world of Audemars Piguet.

Interest in vintage seamaster 300
Hello all,I have recently gained an interest in the vintage seamaster 300s, similar to those made by watchco. Does anyone have any advice into sourcing one of these? There is a few interesting examples on the bay, but as usual the authenticity is questionable on some. I am particularly fond of the ones with bracelets and no date. I have done numerous searches and found lots of great information, but would like to probe the community again for some opinions. I am unsure of the rules on links but will post an example of one I have in question if allowed. I look forward to reading your responses.

My New Planet Ocean 2201.50
I asked last week whether I should settle for the easy-to-find 2054/2254 or wait for a 42mm PO and the consensus was to wait for the one I truly wanted. I'm happy to report I waited (4 excruciating days) to find this one and I love it. This is a graduation present to myself and I think I'll have it for a long time. Enough talking, here are a few crappy pics:Thanks for all the help making this decision.
