Urwerk Creates Unique UR-103 Phoenix for Only Watch
Master watchmaker and Urwerk co-founder Felix Baumgartner proudly announces Urwerk’s presence at Only Watch 2011. As an expression of commitment to the Only Watch cause, Urwerk will be auctioning the UR-103 Phoenix, a unique timepiece made of white gold and hand-decorated by master engraver Jean-Vincent Huguenin, one of the most gifted artists in this field. Only Watch is the charity auction to benefit research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy held in Monaco on September 22 under the patronage of HSH Prince Albert II. Fascinated by universal legends, Jean-Vincent did not take long to decide on the theme for this piece. In recognition of all those engaged in the battle to save children from muscular dystrophy, the UR-103 bears the quintessential symbol of resistance and resilience: a phoenix rising from the flames.¡°In our daily lives we all have objects that are slightly talismanic,¡± says watch artist and Urwerk co-founder Martin Frei. ¡°We love to have them at our side, in touchin

Longines Avigation Oversize Crown Watches For 2013
Longines has just announced a new (old looking) collection with the new Avigation Oversize Crown pieces. As a mid-year release, these are in line with the many classical sport watch pieces that Longines enjoys producing. Retro looking pilot watches are unquestionably in their renaissance as they not only manage to fit perfectly into the popular trend of larger watches, but also serve as a refreshing alternative to retro-inspired dive watches (come on folks, leave a few historic designs to revisit next year). At launch, the collection will contain a three-hander, GMT, and chronograph.What is much more interesting for those of us who enjoy retro-style watches such as this, is that models from Longines tend to be rather fairly priced.?Longines?is paying tribute to the older era of flight with these three new models in the Avigation Oversize Crown collection. [Ed. note: "Avigation" is clearly a contraction of "aviation" and "navigation." Though the 15 year old boy that still lives inside o

Interesting discovery with mechanical watches
***DO NOT TRY THIS!!!***Hi all, I've been procrastinating writing this thread, so I forced myself to do it. I had an interesting discovery playing with my Nomos Club Datum watch and now I found out that the Maurice Lacroix Peseux does the same thing. I have a feeling all mechanical watches may do this, but I wanted to ask if yours does, and why.If you wind the watch as full as it can go (I'm obsessed with the click sound it makes when I twist it) and put a little pressure (not trying to break it) it starts beating really fast! The watch gets substantially louder and the second hand starts going much faster than it should. As soon as the pressure is released the watch goes back to normal time and quiets down.I used this on the Peseux ML to get it timed with a quartz watch since it doesn't hack and I did the same with the Nomos even though it does hack.SoTo the smart people of WTF, what is happening when I do this, and second...
