Rotonde de Cartier Astrotourbillon
At SIHH last week Cartier launched the new Rotonde de Cartier Astrotourbillon with their new manual winding movement, Caliber 9451 MC, designed and created by Cartier watchmakers. This unusual movement is the product of 5 years of development at the Cartier Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The Astrotourbillon’s carriage is driven by the third wheel of the gear train. The pinion of the escape wheel rotates around a fixed seconds-wheel (the fourth wheel of the gear train) in order to drive the escapement. The carriage has a special rotational axis, as it is positioned at the center of the movement. This requires a different gear-train design, from the two barrels of the movement through to the display of the minutes and hours. Another feature, responsible for the striking visual effect created by the movement, is that the balance staff and escape-wheel staff are not on the same rotational axis as the carriage. They are located to one side of the carriage, in linear alignment with

Checking Out the Mir¨® Automatic
There are many articles on w&w about cool looking, well priced quartz watches that end with the same, perhaps repetitious sentiment: "I love it, but I would love it more if it were an automatic." Often the comments on these posts support that sentiment too. One such watch was the blissfully simple and stylish Mir¨®. It was a pleasure to wear, a pleasure to look at, and if it had just had a beating heart, which frankly doesn't matter to a lot of consumers, it would have been hard to take off. Well, until now, there has not been a brand that has taken this call to heart. Not until the Mir¨® Automatic.Staying nearly 100% true to the original design (it's a drop thicker at 11mm), the Mir¨® Auto adds a Miyota 9015 and a domed Sapphire crystal into the mix, adding a lot more watch cred, without adding a lot more to the price. In fact, it comes out to a very affordable $259 (price without VAT), making it one of the best values out there for 9015, let alone one with a? sapphire crystal. This

New Aqua Terra 8500 movenent? worth it?
I own a Rolex Air King, but I'm hooked on the new Aqua Terra. The clear case back. I want to add to my small collection. I would like to know if the new Aqua is worth the price increase. Is the 2500 movement reliable. How come the 8500 movement is not in the seamaster pro? Should I look for the old aqua Terra with the 1120 movement.

Bulova Accutron 218 m9
I have a brand new never worn 1969 Accutron 218 m9 on case. How much does an engraved case (initials and 25th anniversary L.O.F) effect the value.I have the original plastic case and inst. booklet ,all the tags are still attached to the watch band.The orig. battery is still in the watch should I have it replaced.I don't think the watch has ever been worn. Thanks in advance.Jim
