Blancpain Carrousel Minute Repeater Chronograph: First Watch With All Three Complications Together
Being the "brand of the carrousel," Blancpain's use of this close cousin to the tourbillon must someday find its way into anything they produce. Then again, they did recently produce the Carrousel Tourbillon watch (watches-dealer hands-on) that featured both complications in order to help distinguish them. Now, with the new Blancpain Carrousel Minute Repeater Chronograph, we see for the first time all three of the named complications together in one watch.Having built a solid foundation with the carrousel, first seen in the Blancpain Carrousel Volant Une Minute in 2008, and being no stranger to grand complications in general, Blancpain's latest creation showcases the brand's ability to design and execute the type of watch that elevates the watchmaker to the level of an artist.The carrousel is Blancpain's signature complication, as they are the only brand that has actively promoted and presented it to the market. A close cousin to the more common tourbillon, it goes about doing the same

I give thanks for my new Neil Armstrong Speedie!
It's a 105.012-65. Pictures from the seller; I'll take my own soon enough. Dial, hands, and bezel look to be in fantastic shape, with an even patina. Bracelet is perfect, though it will be switched out for a JB Champion a la Neil. Can't wait to see her in person!

Vintage Omega 'De Ville'?
I was going through old jewellery boxes the other night and came across an old Omega watch.It is all gold with the Omega name logo and name at the top, and 'De Ville' with '-swiss made-' at the VERY bottom in small writing. It is a round face watch with lines indicating the hours (no Roman numeral) around the face. It is a small (single?) clap watch, and on the back face of the watch it has written QUARTZ. 1365 (maybe a serial number?)Could any of you be able to tell me what the make of it (or similar) was? Thanks :)

Welcome 'Omega Glasgow Boutique'.
Still in a bit of shock I needed to have my bracelet adjusted today and headed down to see my AD in the Argyll Arcade, Buchanan St. Glasgow.There 'right at the entrance' was a new 'Omega Boutique' under construction - Prime position - Wow.That was the first shock.Second shock was when I went into my AD, Laing's Glasgow, to find out that they no longer carried the brand. Plenty of Rolex, Cartier, IWC, TAG etc but not an Omega on site.There are currently still two other Omega dealers in Glasgow, Watches of Switzerland and Mappin & Webb, but for how much longer? I looked in the window of WOS and it looked like something out of the dark ages. Boring, dull and out of date.Well done Omega Lets get this brand positioned where it should be in the market place and bring us into the exciting modern world that Omega deserves to be part of. Goodbye to boring WOS - Welcome 'Omega Glasgow Boutique'The new boutique build is in the early stages but I for one can't wait.Pictures later.
