The Old World Benzinger Way Of Luxury Watch Production
Watch news is always filled with stories of innovation, exotic materials, new complications, and novel ways of displaying information. While "new" is often exciting, there is something splendidly serene about seeing traditional, as opposed to modern, watch art. There was a time around the turn of the 20th century when watch making went in two directions. While watches began to lower in cost enough to become available to many more people, the ultra rich needed something to brag about. Hence came a golden age in the long history of watch decorations. While this was by no means a new endeavor as "engraving" really started in the 15th and 16th centuries, it was a time to become uniquely creative and literally shove as much detail on each available empty space on watches and other items as well. While this design ethic is the absolute antithesis of "minimalism," it is a testament to one's dedication to their craft. Today the rise of industrialization has all but eliminated the role of the c

Short strap vs. Regular question
Quick question for those that know. Is the main difference between a regular rubber strap and a short strap the length or is the angle on where it connects to watch different as well?Edwin

Finally...the Moonwatch.
My first Omega...and as 'they' say, no collection is complete without one.Unfortunately, it won't get too much wrist time just yet. It will soon be sent off to Rik for an overhaul and some modification...stay tuned....to be continued... :)FWIW - I stopped by the NYC Omega Boutique to have this purchase checked out and they were more than helpful. The new service area is great; you can see the watchmaker and everything he is doing from the waiting area. They gladly opened up the watch to confirm the movement, pressure tested, and timed the watch for me as a I waited. Great place.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1417454154.781523.jpgAnd then trying some bracelets on, not sure about this...never worn any before. What do you think?ImageUploadedByTapatalk1417454205.571686.jpg

Just a thought...
I was on the Rolex section just now and read a post of a member brushing out the PCL's on his GMT, don't throw stones at me as I have no intention of doing it on my 5712 which is IMO absolute perfection but does anyone know someone who ever had the PCL's on Nautilus bracelet brushed out? Of course we are not taking into account the legendary wood chopping 5711 or 3700 don't remember which it is.I suppose it would look great, a little more sporty as the PCL's give them a dressy kind of look, if I had a very big collection I just might be tempted to do it on one of the Nautiluses I would have, anyways I won't have a big collection as I am much happier with 1 to 3 piece collection.If anyone has photos of a Nautilus with brushed PCL's would love to see it.
