SIHH: Calibre de Cartier Multiple Time Zone Watch With Caliber 9909 MC
Calibre 9909 MC is the first multiple time zone movement to feature in Cartier's Fine Watchmaking Collection, housed in a Calibre de Cartier watch. The movement is entirely developed and produced within the Cartier Manufacture. At SIHH today, Cartier presented a new version of the multiple time zone complication, which aims to provide:– the home time with day/night indication, the traveler's local time, adjustment for summer or daylight savings time and �C something quite unique �C the time difference between the two selected time zones, which some might call the jet lag display.– excellent readability of all the functions in a limited space– simple setting and checking of all functions and displays.Home time is indicated on the lower dial in the center of the watch by a day/night hand featuring sun and moon symbols.

OPINIONS PLEASE - 5164 or 5167 & Royal Oak?
Ladies and Gentlemen,Having been greatly influenced by JorgeCCW, I am in the process of reducing my Rolex collection from 6 to 2 or 3 with a view to entering the rarified world of PP and AP.Whilst I like both the 15400 and the Diver, I am slowly coming to the conclusion that many of you have already reached....however wonderful AP is, PP is a level above.The only PPs that are correct for me at this time are the Aquanauts....I only wear sporty watches (no leather straps) and unfortunately the Nautilus just don't do it for me.
