Court Orders F.P. Journe To Pay Jaquet Droz Legal Costs In Lost Case Over Intellectual Property Rights
I really wish I could read French right now. It seems that even though I am an attorney I don't quite understand this case. First is the language barrier, and second is the legal barrier.? UPDATE: I've learned that the translated text was so confusing that I got the facts (not the law) of this case wrong. To please see the updated version as follows...This is a European case that isn't applying US law. But let me give it to you as I understanding. After 5 years, and at least one appeal, Swiss watch maker F.P. Journe has been ordered to pay damages to Jaquet Droz and the Swatch Group (owner of Jaquet Droz) in the amount of tens of thousands of euros for infringement of Jaquet Droz's intellectual property rights for legal cost damages. It looks like Jaquet Droz was accused by FP Journe to have copied designs that FP Journe allegedly has created. This this would have been a copyright infringement case . Let me explain (not a hardcore legal discussion, don't worry).In the world of watches,

What? It's not a Heuer?
No, it's a NOS vintage Caravelle by Bulova with a very rare 3D dial. It measures 38.2 mm by 41.5 mm and is 11.7 mm high. The brushed case is finished in a black that does not appear to be PVD and actually looks like some sort of anodizing. The dial has vertical brushing and a 3D effect that ranges from blue, to grey, to almost black in some lighting. My understanding is that this watch was manufactured by Bulova in the 1970s and it features an automatic movement. It comes on a thin, glove soft, 19 mm strap. I have been able to only find one other example that was for sale on WUS some time ago. I doubt I'll ever encounter another person wearing one of these.

Like "ulackfocus" I had to pause the movie "88 minutes" with Al Pacino to see what he was telling time with.Except ya can't hardly tell what it is . . . .tic-toc-docuntil this scenebut then later in the movie he's "synchronizing" with this one??I don't wanna give any of the movie away, It is definatly worth watching if you like suspense or Al Pacino. . tic-toc-doc

Family Photo!
I was the first ¡°watch guy¡± in my family. I purchased my first Rolex at 25. I¡¯m now 28. This year I sourced a 14060M for my dad and a 16234 / 1501 (solid gold) for my brother. This was the first time we were all together wearing our watches. We all got together for dinner from different parts of the province because I just got engaged last Sunday and we were having a little celebration! I wore my birth year 16570 (special occasion watch). Figured I¡¯d share the photo!Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
