Baselworld 2015: Hublot’s New Big Bang Ferrari Models (Updated with Live Photos and Prices)
Hublot’s new Big Bang Ferrari, which premiere this week at Baselworld 2015, comes in two different color combinations. Both versions have Ferrari characteristics that Hublot had not previously used, but are still distinctly Hublot in design.These new Big Bang Ferrari models join the growing family of watches made in the three-year-old partnership between Hublot and Ferrari. That partnership had its highlight so far in 2013, when Hublot introduced the MP-05 LaFerrari, a mechanical watch with a 50-day power reserve.The new watches are named for their coloring: the Big Bang Ferrari Black Ceramic and the Big Bang Ferrari Grey Ceramic. They have 45-mm cases made fully in ceramic. Push-pieces for the chronograph, situated at 2 and 4 o’clock, are made of titanium and either satin finished (on the gray model) or PVD treated (on the black). The reset pusher beneath the crown is topped in titanium with the Ferrari name in red lacquer running across it.The loudest feature on the new B

Xicorr Circle Review
Xicorr watches is a new brand based out of Poland. Like G. Gerlach, who we reviewed recently, Xicorr is focused on manufacturing locally in Poland, having interesting designs and affordable prices. While Gerlach makes watches based on classic designs and themes, Xicorr goes for an entirely novel look. It's rare to find watches, especially in this price range, that start ground up with their designs. Case, dial, hands, etc�� were all created specifically for the watch. That's not just to say that the parts aren't "off-the-shelf" (they are all made in Poland), they are also utterly different.The first watch by Xicorr, which we're reviewing today, is the Circle. It's a modern sport watch with a very distinct look that you wont find elsewhere. When asked, the designer of the watch, Adam, told me that the design started with the idea of using a standard size screw as a functional center point. This inspired the vocabulary of circles used throughout and, of course the name. The Circle feature

Frederique Constant Slimline Moonphase
It’s a rare pleasure in the price range we discuss here at worn&wound to find watches with manufacture, or in-house, movements. It’s even more rare for them to be Swiss made calibers. Well, that’s exactly what we have here with the new Frederique Constant Slimline Moonphase Manufacture. For a starting price of around $3,500 one can obtain a watch that seems to defy the laws of luxury watches and be, while not inexpensive, in the accessible price range.The Slimline, of which there are several variations, is as clean as dress watches come. Simple and elegant cases with gentle curves and great finishing are topped with sapphire crystals, front and back,?reserved domed dials, applied markers and thin leaf hands. As the name suggests, the whole line maintains a low profile, making them comfortable and easy to fit under a shirt, as a dress watch must be. The Moonphase has a 42mm case, making it a touch wide, though on the wrist the watch does not feel too large due to w

Restoring 16750 Explorer II besel paint
Thanks to the TRF, I've found some good techniques to restore/repaint my Exp II besel. The overall condition of the besel is good but it looks like it was refinished at certain point during previous ownership and some of the numbers are not so deeply etched, at least to what I see.Before purchasing a new besel I will try to restore the current one. Does any of you had similar issue? Any success restoring the besel paint? A pics of before and after are welcome.Thanks!Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk
