Nik Wallenda Takes JeanRichard To New Heights Over Grand Canyon
You no doubt have heard the news (or perhaps even watched the live broadcast) of Nik Wallenda crossing over the Little Colorado River Gorge (near the Grand Canyon), 1500 feet in the air without a tether on June 23, 2013. ?What you may not have caught is the fact he was wearing a watch from JeanRichard as Wallenda is JeanRichard's latest brand ambassador (Ariel had dinner with him and vouches that he is indeed a nice guy).The watch in question that crossed the Canyon was the JeanRichard Terrascope (pictured up top, and reviewed right here). ?At first, it may seem a little odd that someone would wear a $3,500 watch in a stunt like this - not to mention the fact of having that extra unbalanced weight. ?But, when you realize that Mr. Wallenda is a brand ambassador for JeanRichard, it all makes sense.

Jorg Gray JG3700 Watches
One of Jorg Gray's new for 2011 models is the JG3700 collection that comes in both three-hand and chronograph models. For an interesting watch under $1,000 Jorg Gray offers a lot of good choices. Visually interesting though still classic in their proportions the JG3700 watch collection is an interesting range.One of the nicest elements of the design is how the Italian calf-leather strap is fitted to case.

Each has Swiss movements �C ISA for the three-hand, and Ronda for the chronograph. The three-hand model is

First Patek arrived this morning...
Thanks to everyone who chimed in about cutting the strap, and all the gratuitous picture posts that help me fall in love with this watch!I probably spent 10 minutes unboxing everything before I even got to the watch!The clasp is amazing.I must admit, when I first saw the Aquanaut several years ago I thought it was terrible. Actually, at that time, everything in the Patek lineup was nothing special to me (into Panerai and Rolex at the time)...now I'm thinking it's time the Panerai moves on - I can't see why I'd wear it now that I have this beauty.
