Blancpain Carrousel Minute Repeater Chronograph: First Watch With All Three Complications Together
Being the "brand of the carrousel," Blancpain's use of this close cousin to the tourbillon must someday find its way into anything they produce. Then again, they did recently produce the Carrousel Tourbillon watch (watches-dealer hands-on) that featured both complications in order to help distinguish them. Now, with the new Blancpain Carrousel Minute Repeater Chronograph, we see for the first time all three of the named complications together in one watch.Having built a solid foundation with the carrousel, first seen in the Blancpain Carrousel Volant Une Minute in 2008, and being no stranger to grand complications in general, Blancpain's latest creation showcases the brand's ability to design and execute the type of watch that elevates the watchmaker to the level of an artist.The carrousel is Blancpain's signature complication, as they are the only brand that has actively promoted and presented it to the market. A close cousin to the more common tourbillon, it goes about doing the same

VIDEO: Bremont Co-Founder Nick English Responds To Questions About New Movement

We've shown you watches owned by rock stars, taken you inside places few are ever allowed, told great stories of the human spirit, and profiled fascinating people. But, the article that received the most comments out of all these fantastic pieces was a quick new product release from the English brothers at Bremont. This post has 178 comments and counting, and that is because our readers felt they had been slighted.Bremont claimed the movement in the new Wright Flyer was in-house. It's not. But, like with anything in life, there is much more to the story than one might expect.

Stolen Rolex Explorer II
I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm posting here in the general discussion area. If I should move the thread please let me know.I'm a former Naval Aviator, and wore a GMT Master for 8 years when I flew F-14s. That watch was stolen in New Orleans in 2004. I later bought a an Explorer II, but I missed having the rotating bezel feature. Thanks to this forum, I ended up finding the parts to convert that watch. Well, 3 months later it was stolen. So there is a black dial 1999/2000 Explorer II with a GMT Master II Coke Bezel out there somewhere right now. It might be the only one in existence. I'm wondering how the person who stole it could even fence it, given the oddity of the dial and bezel combo. If anyone here sees a watch like that, please PM me.

Black dial sky dweller
Curious if the new sky dweller black is the same chocolatey color the DJ 41s are? I much prefer the more jet black . Already have the blue sky dweller and cannot decide between the white or the black. I¡¯m leaning towards the black since I already have a DJ two white dial. But definitely do not want it if it is not a true black. Would appreciate clarification. Cheers!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
