A ‘of Wyler Geneve Zagato
Ia? d seen an ad here and there occasionally for a brand called Wyler, but noted that there were very few if any retailers in North America. For a brand that carries a price to pay so heavy and such a famous brand ambassadors such as Richard Gere, youâ? thei thing of d? d have a better brand recognition.

Wyler is based in Geneva, and produces some very fine movements and unique manufacturing including their new Wyler Geneve Zagato, which is produced in a limited edition of 25 pieces. It is operated by movement of ten days of power reserve with indicator, and the unique crown guard who is something of a signature of Wyler.

Complications innovative Urwerk has “broad and useful
Urwerk has been around for a while, and their model Urwerk 201 with movement of caliber 7.01 UR is a extremely recognizable circles WIS. The unique way it shows the time is only one of the things that made Felix Baumgartner? s unique creation.

Felix has set up the company about 10 years ago and in recent years it took off. Early production is only about 200 watches a year, and one of the most creative and most useful of the watch is on the caseback: The ability to adjust your own watch!

I personally like to see this on other watches, because it could be really useful. At the same time I understand how this kind of thing would be confusing to the casual watch wearer and this can not be a good Rolex over say, a Breitling or Omega, but I see it on a watch and accessible as possible (for a man of my modest).

Not only gives you he ability to set your own watch without opening the bag back, but he also has? oil change? indicator that lets you know when you need to maintain after the shows, with an age indicator telling you how long the clock had worked. If all goes well this technology ends up flow down to watches in the range of sub-$ 10,000 more than we can afford it!

A IWC “a company out to observe

A IWC “a company out to observe
With industry shows sparkling Switzerland there were some brands that are performing extremely well, among them the IWC show a great increase in sales in recent years as the group Richemont.

The IWC has always been a player in the high-end and mid-range with their series more accessible Aquatimer watches, which use the modified ETA movements as well as their complications and large eddies. IWCa? the current line consists of s: Portofino, Aquatimer, Ingenieur, Portuguese, Da Vinci and their major complications. They also differ from much of the competition because they produce only watches mens. There’s very few companies shows that introduce this claim, if it is really significant.


IWC Aquatimer chrono -

My passion for the IWC began the first time by the new Aquatimer, and then the engineer has really caught my attention. I was also a surgeon for the beautiful look of courteous IWC Portuguese chronograph, and really like to have one of 8 models of days with the display showing the beautiful rear rotor system Pellaton.


IWC Ingenieur

65-2.jpg 65-1.jpg

When I discovered that the IWC would have a new engineer in 2005 with a new movement of manufacturing from 8000 series, I was quite happy. This meant that the IWC would have a sensibly priced to move manufacturing. Unfortunately, the Ingenieur Chronograph has not received the same treatment and does not always ETA / Valjoux 7750 modified. Maybe they will make a version of the Ingenieur chronograph movement with an internal soon. The good news is that this makes the current time almost the same price as the standard model.

The IWC has also increased the number of engineer as I mentioned in my other blog post on the engineer. If all goes well they will follow suit with the rest of their watches and start with the size 44-45mm. Ia? d love to see a Portuguese 44mm accessible.

The new Da Vinci chronograph with Italian? the case brought by s single barrel is certainly a beautiful piece for WIS well-staffed.

Any IWC you choose, they all have much to offer and the company forward rapidly and certainly takes a lot of momentum in the process. My favorites are the IWC Ingenieur, and Portuguese that I have just added to the collection. Look for a review soon.

Gravity Tourbillon agree:


The model appears to be based on the C1 which released last year and really look fantastic


The milestone of the C1 automatic is really cool. With the introduction of the bracelet for the series C1, I am now likely to buy one when I get a chance to try out. I tried the rubber band on the watch of the C1, but as much as I love the watch, I can not see me put on the rubber bracelets have taken place to store a lot because I could say. but once they do I will really buy one!

Another Zenith Tourbillon
This is an extreme discretion tourbillion zenith Challenge:


Naturally. I probably can not afford the nicest of these watches. but I could if I had the end of support of any `. Porsche design is reminiscent of Eterna Eterna most of the new Kon-Tiki, which has released not too long ago a good direction for the brand-typical curvy.

Watch Mens Automatic Cartier Roadster large

Watch Mens Automatic Cartier Roadster large
I started to try and m’embrancher outside to watch with a non-round. I have owned a few watches rectangular, such as Longines Dolce Vita and a few others here and there, but I really wanted to try a watch made by Tonneau, except strike-offs that people give as gifts when they visit the china. So I started first by Franck Muller Casablanca, which I appreciated, but it was a bit too clean and basic research that I am thinking, whereas I was used to dial occupied complicated Breitling.

Then I saw the roadster’s a watch I always admired and I really liked the design, and my tastes matured and the need for something a little more down to business, the roadster seemed perfect. Still recognizable as an icon in the watch industry, with a little more individuality than Rolex. So I broke a upwards.

The Roadster is a watch made extremely good, with a case of three-piece. Tonneau formed but slightly shorter than Franck Muller crochet hook. The large model size Mens I bought is 38mm x 43mm, not including the crown. It relates very closely to the typical 40mm Rolex. The models that I took as dial olde model, but seems always fantastic in my opinion. All photos were taken with my new camera Sony A200 with the lens kit.

At the PIC above you can see the hands in blued steel and bright spots on the dial inside. The date magnifier sapphire is tastefully integrated into the crown area. The crown is not SCREWDOWN, so when you roll you can just shoot it.

61-4.jpg

The bracelet is a beautiful piece of work, with the pins screwed in a very unique model. There are two screws, one on each side, and when you remove, you push a pin out of the middle. The bracelet has that smooth, tight feeling in him that reminds me of my Breitling bracelets. The watch is polished, but the bracelet is swept under the terms means.

Here’s a shot from behind, showing a little more than a bracelet, and reporting how the design of the crown swells even on the back of the watch. It is a very nice attention to detail.

The obligatory wrist shot to show what it looks like on my 6 3 / 4 wrist. The bracelet class a little loosely on me. Unfortunately with these staples double butterfly is rarely a micro adjustment available, and many do not have half-links either.

And here is a rare movement originates from Cartier Roadster. Size very well finshed 3110, the ETA 2892-2 bottom ebauche, 21 Cartier Jewel movement. The rotor is decorated with the logo roadster, which is a nice touch, rather than just a rotor generic signed by Cartier, as this detail only to this model shows.

As you can see there are plenty of granulation circular on bridges as well. In general, shows a beautiful inside and out. I would mine!

Journal watch Franck Muller Casablanca
Which indicates that larger watches extinction model? At SIHH 2008 A. Lange and Sohne has announced a new watch, the Lange 1 large. This is a 42mm version of the Lange 1, originally in a case of 38mm. This is a movement towards larger watches by the German manufacturer of high-end watch, which has traditionally made watches in the category of 38-40mm.

The watch movement is the A. L901.2 Lange, who modifed slightly Lange L901.0 in the original 1, how, I’m not sure, but enough to justify a decimal

Complications of shows include an indication of power reserve, large date display, and second side. as well as the hours decentred and hands thoroughly.

Reported by the source of journals in Breitling watch

61-3.jpg 61-1.jpg61-2.jpg

For a change, I decided to get me a watch Franck Muller Casablanca. Its now traded, but I was really appreciated for the brief period in which I have had. Franck Muller watch is interesting, very different from anything I’ve ever had, but very well done. The case has an extremely interesting, Franck Muller called their form of “Cintrée Curvex”.

He looks really good on the wrist, and great for her is the width due to its shape ellongated. The bracelet is a five-row, and reminds me of Breitling Pilot bracelet, but not quite fine. A beautiful watch, however, this command looks when its worn out.

The interior movement is one of the strongest movements decordated ETA 2892 on the market, and I took a shot just for you to see type:

In general, a beautiful watch with a very distinct but I’m struggling to read. it is difficult to get used the sound of exploding numbers but fantastic so I leave you with this projectile. and a visual review.
