September began with Samsung announcing its new Galaxy Gear smartwatch, we share our thoughts on the Gear as well as those of Om Malik, an experienced tech journalist. We check out a couple of new watches from Ulysse Nardin, MB&F, and Bamford and end off with a look at the top women's watches of this year and a visit to Parmigiani¡¯s workshops in Switzerland.1. Parmigiani: Watchmakers Of Yesterday, Today And TomorrowParmigiani is perhaps most famous for its Bugatti watch, but beyond that, the brand actually has a very interesting, though brief, history. In this special feature, our contributor, David Bredan, spent six days with Parmigiani, learning more about their history and learning how they make watches. This is an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at one of the most promising brands right now.Source: watches-dealer (Part 1), watches-dealer (Part 2)?2.

19 AS winding
After reading about problems with a watch Ulackfocus purchased on Ebay, I thought I'd inquire about some similar problems I've had with a watch purchased from a buyer I've had reason to trust. My All Guard does not seem to wind automatically. I haven't looked at the rotor to see if there is any sign of wear from friction, but have never read anything about this as a problem with that movement. Originally it did not seem to stem wind, but if I wore it, it was fine. Then it stopped while wearing. I sent it for checking and it came back worse. I have read about some automatics (early bumpers) that did not wind sufficiently while wearing, but never anything like this about the 19AS. What kind of reserve should I expect? The seller last said perhaps I don't have enough wrist movement to keep it wound. Since I work in NYC, I know that is not the problem, it get lots of action! Any comment would be appreciated. It came to me "serviced."

Intro and new/old watch
New poster here. Received this yesterday, I've been looking at these for a while. I had Ashley take a quick look at this one before I purchased it (many thanks to him). I know the second hand should be orange but I don't think the red looks bad and will probably deal with that later. I'm pleased with the look of the dial and really love the pump pushers. I guess I'll be cruising here from time to time. I've been also looking at the SM 300s but haven't seen the right example for me yet.
