Time Chimers: 4 Notable Minute Repeaters from SIHH 2015
It is not uncommon during the SIHH watch fair to hear the popping of Champagne corks and the clinking of glasses in the luxuriously appointed halls of Geneva’s Palexpo. This year, guests also heard the pleasant chiming of several new minute repeater watches from the exhibiting luxury watch brands.

Hello TRF I hope that you all enjoyed the holidays. I've been back and forth with the decision to get a Chronomat 44 for quite some time now. Specifically the 30th Anniversary Edition Airborne. I finally came across me that I could not pass up. I do plan on getting the black canvas strap that has the red rubber from Breitling. Enjoy the photos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
