New Ball Watch Honors 100 Years of New York’s Grand Central Terminal
New York City’s iconic railroad hub, Grand Central Terminal, reaches its Centennial in 2013, and now Ball Watch, a brand indelibly linked to the history of railroading, is releasing a commemorative timepiece specially suited to the Big Apple’s homesick travelers and expats: the Engineer Master II GCT, whose second-time-zone function uses Grand Central Time (GCT) rather than the traditional Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

5712 as a daily/only watch?
Hi all,I've have been considering consolidating my small collection into one Patek Phillipe watch and wearing it daily. I am looking at a steel version of the 5712 and was wondering if any current/previous owners could shed some light on the watch.As I have never owned a Patek piece before, I was wondering whether the 5712 could be worn as a daily watch and whether it could withstand daily wear and tear.Is the 5712 as scratch prone as the AP Royal Oak models? Also, I am concerned that the movement may be a bit too fragile for me to wear it on a daily basis.Thanks in advance for any help.

Patek evening in Chester U.K
Hi Ladies and Gents I my son and I had the pleasure of attending a Patek Philippe evening at the Boodles showroom in Chester U.K. the amount of complicated watches was in the words of the Patek representative unprecedented there were 24 Grand Complications and 17 Complications present as well as watches from the Nautalus and Aquanaught lines, to be honest we were blown away by the collection they did say that it would be very unlikely that this collection would ever be repeated as watches had been drawn from the Boodles showrooms in Chester, Manchester and London as well as the Patek boutique in London and pieces brought direct from Patek in Switzerland. Unfortunately and please don't crucify me I only had my Iphone with me so not many pictures.Any way to the interesting parts the watches.5205 in both grey and black dials were present now this is one of my favorite Pateks but when this watch isn't the star of the show you know its going to be good !!!!!!!!!5712 in both rose gold and 57
