Swiss Competition Commission Opens New ETA Investigation
Swatch Group announced yesterday that the Swiss Competition Commission (COMCO) has opened a new investigation against ETA Manufacture Horlog¨¨re SA. The Swatch Group statement notes that this is not the first time that the COMCO has investigated a company of the Swatch Group, and that the Swatch Group is confident that the results of this investigation will again be positive for ETA (a reference to an investigation in 2003 that was resolved by an agreement between ETA and COMCO). The Swatch Group announcement goes on to state:“However, the timing for such an investigation seems unfortunate. Since approximately one year, the majority of the external ETA clients have massively cancelled or postponed their orders, without any consideration for the ETA personnel, its infrastructure nor the investments which have been considerable also at ETA due to the continuous pressure of the COMCO as a consequence of the complaints from third parties.(Ad hoc translation from the German original)So

Porsche Design 1919 Datetimer Series 1 & 1919 Globetimer Series 1 Watches
Porsche Design is releasing their new 1919 collection, which will introduce the Porsche Design 1919 Datetimer Series 1 and the Porsche Design 1919 Globetimer Series 1 watches. The 1919 collection is Porsche Design's homage to the Bauhaus movement. For those not familiar, the Bauhaus movement placed great importance on the concepts of simplicity and functionality in design. Though it's a little early for the centenary celebration of the movement (that will be in 2019, if you couldn't guess by the name of the collection), Porsche Design has unveiled the two watches in this collection. What's interesting, though, is the fact that this is the kind statement that Porsche Design is choosing to make after their relationship with Eterna came to an end about a year and a half ago. Since then, they released the Timepiece No. 1, the name of which made clear that Porsche Design was?ushering in a new beginning for the brand. Now, they're not going in-house (in fact, they're using two different Sell

IWC Pilot¡¯s Watch Double Chronograph Edition 'Le Petit Prince' Watch
As part of IWC¡¯s ongoing collaboration with the heirs of Antoine de Saint-Exup¨¦ry, IWC has just released a new watch: the IWC Pilot¡¯s Watch Double Chronograph Edition ¡°Le Petit Prince.¡± This limited edition watch of just 1000 pieces is based on IWC¡¯s regular Pilot¡¯s Watch Double Chronograph, of course, but apart from the obvious visual changes, it has a mechanical twist up its sleeve.IWC¡¯s relationship with Antoine de Saint-Exup¨¦ry stretches back to the 2006 with the launch of the IWC Pilot¡¯s Watch Chronograph ¡°Night Flight,¡± which was a tribute to Saint-Exup¨¦ry¡¯s novel of the same name. Saint-Exup¨¦ry, if you are unaware, was a famous aviator and novelist, and is responsible for works like the aforementioned ¡°Night Flight,¡± as well as ¡°Southern Mail¡± and ¡°Wind, Sand and Stars¡±. However, he is probably best known for ¡°The Little Prince,¡± or, in Saint-Exup¨¦ry¡¯s native tongue, ¡°Le Petit Prince.¡±Before getting to the mechanical twist, let's see the visual changes: as one can clearly see fr

Patek buckle or not?
Hi,My 2593 is on a Patek signed leather strap. I am investigating if the buckle is aftermarket or if it is the correct Patek buckle. It is not signed anywhere which naturally would indicate that it is aftermarket. I have seen similar buckles on the bay that the sellers claim to be authentic. I am dubious though. Can anybody shed some light on this?Thanks!
