Basel Preview: Breguet Tradition Fusee Tourbillon With Silicon Balance Spring
In 1795, Breguet conceived the ¡°Breget overcoil¡± spring, today still the reference in terms of balance springs. In 2006, Breguet introduced its first wristwatches with silicon balance spring and escapement. Today, the new Breguet silicon balance spring is featured in the Breguet Tradition 7047 model with tourbillon and fusee-and-chain transmission. Inspired by the design of the first tourbillon-equipped pocket watches devised by Breguet, a platinum version is now available fitted with a movement fashioned in an anthracite-toned metal alloy. The fusee-and-chain transmission connected to the barrel ensures constant force for as long as the watch is running. A number of patents applications involve the large tourbillon resonator at one o¡¯clock on the watch face, one for a titanium balance and three relating to Breguet silicon balance springs. A further patent was awarded for a power-reserve indicator positioned directly on the barrel.Additional information appears below the image, which y

Casio G-Shock GPW1000 Is First Watch To Combine GPS & Atomic Clock Radio Time Syncing
For 2014, Casio will release yet another technologically interesting watch that we've never seen before. As part of the G-Shock collection, the Casio G-Shock GPW1000 watch family will synchronize and receive signals from both atomic clock radio signals as well as from satellites from the Global Positioning System (GPS). The former?feature has been around for longer, and over the last few years ¨C especially with the promotion of the Seiko Astron ¨C the public is getting used to the latter idea that their quartz watches can be always correct, anywhere in the world by connecting to GPS. Both systems of receiving the correct time from signals have their pluses and minuses. So Casio decided to design a watch that could connect to either.The Casio G-Shock GPW1000 includes new technology that Casio co-developed with Sony. Together the two companies developed a miniature low-power consumption system for reviewing GPS signals as well as including a six band radio receiver to get signals from the

Is the Co-Axial Omegas future ??
I'm a little torn on the Co-Axial thing.. So far I am not impressed as much as I think I should be...The first generation are little more than earlier ETA movements with the addition of the more complicated Escapement..Do you think it is premature for Omega to be dumping the 1120, 1128, or other time proven lever escapement movements for the new offerings of theirs.. ??Will this help bring Omega closer to Rolex, or push it further away...???

5712g thoughts...
Just wondering what the general consensus is on the 5712g? I can get one from an AD brand new for 10% off. Good deal? Do these hold their value? I know they are sought after as much as the steel version. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
