The Value Proposition: The Mido Baroncelli Heritage, A Great Looking Simple Watch At A Great Price
Mido is a Swatch Group brand that doesn't have a tremendous amount of mindshare among wristwatch enthusiasts in the United States, although the company's been around for some time (founded in 1918) and the Group has retailers for Mido watches around the world. Its current collections have preserved some of the company's more popular vintage models, including the Multifort, Commander, and Ocean Star lines, and they've just announced a new model in the Baroncelli line: the Baroncelli Heritage. This is not a watch that's necessarily going to take the world by storm, but it doesn't need to: it's a good-looking watch for just a bit over $1,000, that's noticeably better thought out than a lot of its competition. 1 OF 4 Mido, for some time now, has been positioning itself as a company that takes design cues from world architecture – to be completely candid, the connection can sometimes seem a bit tenuous.

Hands-On: The Peter Speake-Marin Bi-Tourbillon
Peter Speake-Marin is introducing a new member of the J Class collection this year and it’s called the Bi-Tourbillon. The watch is a technical tour de force, featuring a pair of vertically aligned tourbillons linked by a spring clutch system. The Bi-Tourbillon is a nod to the rich history that ties Peter Speake-Marin to the tourbillon, a complication that accompanied the first timepiece to bear his name (a pocket watch in 2000). We got our hands on the watch in Basel last month, and there’s a healthy amount of recognizable Speake-Marin style in the new watch, as well. 1 OF 2 The Bi-Tourbillon is reminiscent of the Vintage Tourbillon we saw from from Speake-Marin back in 2005. The two watches share similarly styled bridges made of German silver, and a baseplate with perlage and ruthenium plating serving as a backdrop on the dial side.

Stolen AP - please be on the lookout
Hello AP members, I am saddened to have make this post.During my visit to Barcelona Spain, I was physically assaulted by two men who robbed me of my treasured AP Bartorelli on July 11, 2017.I am told that usually it's a pickpoket crime and one doesn't even know until back at the hotel, everyone, including the police, were surprised by the physical attack. It could have ended much worse had they used weapons.There is a police report, the watch details have been shared on many other watch sites, with watch dealers, reported to a 'stolen watch database', and AP has been notified.I just kindly ask to be on the look out for this watch. It is rare and if/when it surfaces it should be easy to spot.It's an Audemars Piguet Bartorelli ROO Scuba 125th Anniversary. This timepiece has a PVD case and bronze bezel. There are only 50 of these out there and this is numbered #36/50. Thank you for listening and PLEASE be careful out there!!!!!

Had a little work done in Boca
To my watch, of course ...Added a factory diamond bezel to my 18038. I know some of you aren't diamond guys, so that's cool ... but I am :)
