SIHH 2014 Preview: 3 New Chronographs From Baume & Mercier Clifton Collection
Next year’s SIHH watch fair in Geneva is still nearly two months away, but the watch brands exhibiting there have already begun to offer sneak previews of their new timepieces. The first to do so is Baume & Mercier, which has released info and photos of three new chronographs in its recently introduced Clifton collection.The first chronograph model in the 1950s-inspired Clifton collection (which thus far has included only a three-hand model with small seconds and a “Complete Calendar” model with moon-phase) has a 43-mm case and a self-winding mechanical movement from ETA. The case has polished and satin finishes and has a scratch-resistant anti-glare crystal and an exhibition caseback secured by four screws. It is water-resistant to 50 meters.The dial features a sun satin finish and either blued steel or golden hands. The Arabic numerals and indices are either silver-colored (in the model with blued hands) or gold-colored (in the two models with golden hands). The

Limited Edition Zenith El Primero Rolling Stones Watch
Zenith watches has collaborated with the legendary rock band The Rolling Stones for a new limited watch called the Zenith El Primero Chronomaster 1969 Tribute to the Rolling Stones. It was just a few days ago that we spent some time?with Zenith?as they exhibited in?Las Vegas, and it was then that we learned a?major partnership was coming up really soon.While?we could?sense?they were very excited about it, they remained extremely secretive about it until this very moment: today it became official that the brand will start a unique collaboration with the absolutely?remarkable rock band The Rolling Stones. We will note that deep inside we had hoped?they would not repeat the rather upsetting fiasco of the limited edition?in part dedicated to Che Guevara¡­ and to our most pleasant surprise they went for this much?more positively exciting collaboration. The first piece dedicated to this partnership is the Zenith El Primero Chronomaster 1969 Tribute To The Rolling Stones.The legendary El Prime

Watch Spotting: Roger Smith Wearing A Vintage Omega Seamaster Chronograph At The Screening Of The Wa
Last night at Tribeca Cinemas in New York City, we were proud to attend the NY premiere of David Armstrong's The Watchmaker's Apprentice. The documentary film, shot in very last days of master watchmaker George Daniels' life, goes on to tells us not only of Daniels' contributions to horology, but also his relationship with his one and only true apprentice – Mr. Roger Smith. We'll have a recap of last night's events shortly, but first, we wanted to tell you what Roger Smith, arguably one of the finest watchmakers alive, was wearing. It might surprise you. 1 OF 1 One might assume Mr. Smith would be wearing one of his own watches – maybe a Series 2 or a Daniels Anniversary watch? Not so. You see, Mr. Smith's workshop of eight people (himself plus seven watchmakers) produces just 10 watches per year. Ten. So, if he were to take one piece of the production out for himself, that would limit his profitability by 10% and he simply can'

WTF EL With Deployment Clasp...
Man, I thought I liked this EL about as much as possible; inexpensive, quality build. But then the deployment clasp I ordered came in the mail today. What was already a pretty classy looking watch is, in my always wildly humble opinion, even more so:I gotta' be honest, man, I don't know that I'll ever own a strap watch without a deployment on it. Not only does it make it a lot easier to put on and remove, but I think it ramps up the "class factor" by a factor of 10. Like I said, the EL was sweet to begin with.Now?Man...

Are diving watches unpopular?
So today I stopped by a local dealer to order the SD 50th anniversary. This is a large dealer, they sell a lot of brands and have a lot of stock. I look at the Rolex display, with at least a hundred pieces, and not a single sub, no Sd¡¯s and only 2 gmt¡¯s ( I know technically they aren¡¯t dive watches, but they are tool watches and of a similar design) I was quite surprised...
