Theoretically it should combat gravity, its like one of those rigs that ships chronometers used to sit in back in the day, but for the escapement within the movement. It probably made some difference...

Unless and until Seiko starts making bronze watches, I am quite happy with my bronze "6105" clone/homage.
You don't have to go full clone, they have some nice variations on the designs that Seiko...
I think its the locking mechanism that's patented, because that's the only thing CW/Bader really changed.
Neither did I before reading Christopher Ward's marketing for their own design, which suspiciously has disappeared (so maybe it wasn't so original as they claimed?). However found it just now copied...
For me, my straps don't seem to last as long on a normal pin and buckle as they do on deployants. They always fray near the pin holes much faster than my bands on deployants, but I like my watches as...
Its called the "Dexel Clasp" and is patented, so brands have to pay to use the design. Christopher Ward was making a big deal about how they have designed an alternative a few years ago ,that they...
CW has their in house stuff and their Selitta stuff and there seems to be a clear divide in terms of price. Oris has the same, but their in house watches are a big step up (in terms of price) above...
The processor is already outdated. Wearables are still fairly new technology in the grand scheme of things and for smartwatches, the generational jumps are actually fairly significant.
I don't...
In house movements should really be called "exclusive" movements.
So much of it is smokes and mirrors. Even at the top end, there is a good chance that the movement is based on 3rd party designs,...
Raymond Weil don't make their own movements.
I don't see what you get for paying extra for an AD. If you want the peace of mind go find a watchmaker who will pressure test the watch after...
Had to look up what "fragment" was... Sounds like the ultimate hipster watch.
Whatever people might think of ADs, they pass a lot of costs down to the buyers. Direct selling only serves to provide better value for money for the consumer.
Hopefully Wempe scored an own goal...
The movement is a Miyota 8215 or a clone... That makes the watch ridiculously overpriced at £500.
Oh, and lets not forget that they have used mineral crystal rather than sapphire. Plus 100m water...
It's more the smaller, more niche brands that have a singular models that is immediately identifiable with it (e.g. Nomos and the Tangente) . The bigger ones will always have competing models that...
Looks like its solid gold, if it was filled/plated etc, it wouldn't just show the purity.
Beautiful watch btw, particularly like the design on the case-back.
Ian Flemming had a Rolex Explorer, I think that makes it the best candidate for the "James Bond Watch" in the novels.
Stunning design but, for me, too steep for 4R35 inside... They should have put a 6R in there for the price.
1) Consumer rights is completely separate to the warranty so you don't need your warranty card to get a claim under these, although you might need a proof of purchase.
However, your rights are...
It looks like the bastard lovechild of a g-shock and a tuna.
Not G Shock, but my Eco-Drive sort of died when I didn't wear it for a few years: it would charge but would stop if I left it out of sunlight for more than a day or two. Not sure if the issue was age...
The 116500 Daytona seems to be hyper-inflated everywhere else too to be fair; it starts at about £15k on Chrono 24 as well.
Seems ridiculous that people are willing to pay well over the RRP for a...
The white looks lovely, but I would thicken up my skin for people telling you that you have a fake watch if I were you :|
Looks very much like a Hublot... It seems like more and more of the new models released look like Hublots since JCB took over.
Case in point...
If you keep your watches wound constantly, this will speed up wear and tear.
However, keeping your watches running regularly makes sure that the lubricants remain well spread.
I try to ensure...
Nothing quite as grand as a Dornbluth & Sohn, but I have a Nomos with similarly heat blued hands on white dial and no issues with telling time at night, assuming you are using it somewhere with...
