Ask any watchmaker to list the top ten or even top five watchmakers in history, and chances are that Abraham-Louis Breguet is on that?list. Breguet¡¯s contribution to watchmaking cannot be overstated. After all, he is the inventor of the tourbillon and he also popularized the Breguet-style numerals and hands. And this month, we have a real treat for you, as we get up close with, not one, but two pocket watches and a clock that were made by Breguet himself in the early 1800s.Since we are on the topic of antiques, we were also introduced to a special watch safe that is made using an antique medieval safe also dating to the 1800s. Leaving the realm of the antiquities, MB&F recently released a brand new Horological Machine watch - the HM6 Space Pirate - and we were there to check out Max B¨¹sser¡¯s latest masterpiece.

Rolex Cellini Danaos
So, I am looking at purchasing a pre-owned Cellini Danaos 4243/9 (38mm XL model). Been actually thinking about it on and off for 2-3 years. Either one of the WG or WG/RG models. And I really like the "bulls-eye" dial because it's sporty as well as dressy. I tried on a 4243/9 recently. It was WG with RG bezel, black dial with stick makers. 38mm is a really nice size for a dress watch and it would make a nice casual watch as well. I wear a shirt and tie everyday to work, so the Danaos would get plenty of wrist time. Why is the resale value so horrible on these things? I would never buy one BNIB even with a good discount because I would take a bath if I decided to sell. MSRP is $8,850. Ouch! I have been seeing nice pre-owned examples for mid $4,000 range. I probably wouldn't take too much of a hit on resale if I paid in that price range. There are plenty of all gold dress watches out there that represent a better value, but I can't seem to get this one out of my head.
