Parmigiani Bugatti 10-Year Anniversary Watch Debuts at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance
The first watch to arise from the partnership of boutique Swiss watch brand Parmigiani Fleurier and French luxury automaker Bugatti, the Bugatti Type 370 watch, launched in 2004. To commemorate 10 years of the partnership, and 10 years of Parmigiani Bugatti watches, Parmigiani unveiled the first of three limited-edition anniversary models at this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.The Parmigiani Bugatti Type 370 Mythe takes its cues from the “engine block for thew wrist” aesthetic of that original Type 370 watch, including its unprecedented “transverse tubular” movement design, which assembles the plates and gears along a horizontal axis rather than a traditional vertical one. Parmigiani says that the new watch marks a return to classical haute horlogerie techniques, eschewing some of the more avant-garde, futuristic components of some previous Bugatti watches, such as the Bugatti Vitesse and Bugatti Super Sport.The case is designed in the class

Geak II Watch Stretches The Limits Of Smartwatch Battery Life
Aside from the ¨C usually valid ¨C complaints that many smart watches look simply like a miniature slab with a watch strap attached, there is another major drawback that the current crop of smart watches has had£¬ and that is battery life ¨C or the lack thereof. The one exception to this has been Pebble, with the power-sipping e-ink display that it utilizes. While it does save battery life, it hardly has the flashy looks that we are expecting now from the Apple Watch and Android Wear. The Geak II looks to straddle that divide.Now, if you have not heard of the original Geak watch (since what we are looking here is in fact?the second version), you are not alone. Created by Shanda, the Geak has been pretty popular within its home country of China. With the Geak II, they are looking to stretch out into the international market, with an APAC-specific Kickstarter-type campaign over on Pozible.So, why does this particular watch matter? It is because of the promised battery life which is 3-4 days

Hands-On: With The Cl¨¦ de Cartier, An Evolution In Concept, Shape, And Functional Design (Live Photos, Pricing)
My first vintage watch was a?Cartier Santos Dumont?¨C?a small, handsome, time-only yellow gold model from the 1960s that introduced me to the wide, wide world of vintage watch research.?I became fixated on this watch for a myriad of reasons, but most certainly because I knew Cartier as a watchmaker?and this particular watch?harkened back to both the early days of the maison?and the early commercial history of wristwatches in general. So when Cartier announced a completely new line of watches ¨C Cl¨¦ de Cartier ¨C I was curious to see?how this legendary company intends to move forward?with a respect for its heritage?and an eye on innovation. 2 OF 14 Silhouettes of Cartier's iconic wristwatches.

The Santos Design aficionados may lament the absence of the Cartier Crash in this quartet, but that par

Vintage Patek Identification Help
This was my grandfather's watch and it was recently given to me. It still runs great and I am looking to restore it to its former glory (including getting it off that flex band). I'd appreciate any help figuring out the model number and approximate date it was made. There are no markings on the caseback and I have not had it opened up yet to see if any information is inside. Thanks in advance for the help!

Finally flipped the 5712 for 5164R and 5196R
Following my previous posts, I finally took possession of my new pieces.Thank you again.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
