Pre-Baselworld 2014: Introducing The Hublot Big Bang Unico Bi-Retrograde Chrono, The Official Watch
In the 1970s there were special chronographs called "Soccer Timers" with markings on the registers for counting the 45 minute halves of a match. Hublot has taken things much further here with the Big Bang Unico Bi-Retrograde Chrono, building a mechanism from the ground up that is optimized for this function. The two retrograde hands clock the seconds and minutes on a specially designed scale and a window at the center of the dial shows which half is being timed. The main timekeeping is separated in a smaller dial at 6 o'clock, so you can wear the watch off the pitch.??The foundation of the?Big Bang Unico Bi-Retrograde Chrono is the new in-house movement. The caliber HUB1260 was built using the same dual-coupling column-wheel technology as the UNICO caliber, but with the marked difference of having two center-mounted retrograde hands for the chronograph mechanism. This 385-part movement is the first bi-retrograde caliber from Hublot and is patent-pending. 2 OF 3 You're pro

Weidi Watch
First, yes, I know, Weidi is the cheapest watch brand out there and they just don't last long. However, after carefully inspecting the cause of my last Weidi watch's death, I found that it was a simple issue of pocket lint and dust getting into the watch through the release latch. (My Weidi watch cost me a total of $6.75, free shipping, so it wasn't much a loss)I have two questions:First, where is the best place to find a very very cheap mechanical pocket watch? I can not wear a wrist-watch, as my hand will go numb, or I start having fits of pain (carple-tunnel). Second question: Would I be insane to purchase this watch? cgi.ebay/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...%3DI%26otn%3D2(I can get it even cheaper, I am willing to bet...)What kind of watch is that? Would it be called a pocket watch, or would you wear it around your neck? (Since, I can't really tell...)And, what is an Archiaze ¡°type¡± of watch (which, is what this watch is classified as)Since this particular "pocket" watch is more closed to the

Expert - By The Numbers
Another thread got me thinking. 'What makes an expert?'Is it 'amount of watches owned?'Is it '5 yrs, studying, 10 yrs, 20 yrs or 30 yrs studying Horology?'Is it 'Amount of books owned and read?'and can you be an expert with a few watches but yrs of reading (experience)I got no answer to it. Do you?I surely have met some of the 'greatest' and from that I know I am a novice. So to you people what makes 'an expert'

Steel vs gold?
Have the 15400st which is among my most casual watches (can't really call it a beater) but also dresses up ok with a suit. There are a few 15400or blue dials at various trusted sellers and have thought about trading in/up. I have a big wrist and like the second hand, so 15202 doesn't work for me. Am wondering about steel vs gold and particularly if the gold bracelet is too blingy.
