Konstantin Chaykin Cinema Watch
New for 2013, our favorite Russian watch maker Konstantin Chaykin will release a rather amazing new timepiece called the Cinema. The piece is a poetic nod to the early era of film making and specifically honors the inventor of the zoopraxiscope, Eadweard Muybridge. The zoopraxiscope is credited as being probably the world's first movie projector, and was produced around 1879. Using a wheel with a series of pictures on it, the machine was able to project an animated image. This complication is actually built into the Cinema watch, being Konstantin Chaykin's very first attempt at such a feature, and the only one that we are aware of in a wrist watch.In the video below you can see a demonstration of the animation complication in action. Activating the left crown causes a disc to spin rapidly under the dial in what appears to be a magnified window. The illusion creates an animation of a man riding a galloping horse.

I wasn't even on the list for a SS Daytona...
But I got a call from an AD on Sunday asking if I wanted one. This is an AD where I've previously spent a grand total of about $2000. I befriended one of the sales people over the past year or so. I'd stop in once in a while and say hello but I've never talked to her about getting me a SS Daytona.They got one in late last week and the guy they allocated it to turned it down. The sales person called and asked if I wanted it because she remembered that I was a "collector." She wanted the watch to go to someone who would appreciate it (that's me).So here you go. I am living proof that you don't need to sit on a waiting list for two years or spend $50,000 at an AD to get a SS Daytona.

Montbrillant Datora Inner Red Ring
Does anyone know how to use/read the inner red ring on the Montbrillant Datora? The Breitling website describes it as a 1/100th of an hour ring...so which hand am I supposed to use to reference the ring?Also, is the military time seperately settable? For example, can I set the main hands to local time and the 24hr hands (small hands on the left) to GMT time?Just curious.
