Urwerk Encourages Obsessive Accuracy Tinkering With EMC Watch Movement
Pretty soon, high-end Geneva-based watch maker Urwerk, will release a watch that includes their new EMC mechanical movement - a mechanism that will no doubt appear ironic and perhaps insane to those not acquainted with the passions that drive the mechanical watch industry. In short, the EMC blurs the lines between mechanical and quartz timing regulation in an amusingly obsessive way that points to the sheer limits of how much your average watch aficionado is willing to endure. Urwerk calls the EMC the first "mechanical smart watch movement," so let's find out what it is all about.A little background info first so that you'll understand all of this.

Question Regarding New Speedmaster - "Swiss Made" Designation
Hi all,I just got a last man on the moon speedmaster from Fr.John's AD in Washington. As you can hopefully see from the picture, the swiss made lettering on the bottom of the dial is cut off, almost like the dial is note quite centered. Obviously its not a big deal, but I was wondering if anyone has ever seen this before. I would hope that I wouldn't have to worry about authenticity, but it seems a little below Omega's normal quality control.
