Ulysse Nardin Announces New Proprietary Silicon Anchor Escapement
Creating a proprietary escapement is perhaps the ultimate challenge for all watchmakers, regardless of whether we are speaking about a craftsman working alone or about an entire company producing thousands or hundreds of thousands of watches. The escapement is the arrangement of components responsible for transferring the energy coming from the mainspring barrel through the going train (the series of wheels linked to the mainspring barrel) onto the balance wheel.In other words, the escapement plays a major role in dividing each "beat" into equal doses, as every "tick" of the escapement releases only a small amount of energy from the mainspring. Ulysse Nardin?has? announced a new escapement design - a hugely impressive achievement that greatly relies on the company's extensive know-how in crafting silicon.[youtube youtubewatches-dealer/watch?v=Nu5Xe51Q_oE]Before we discuss this new design which the brand likes to refer to as a "flying anchor escapement," we should first obtain a better

Does size really matter?
Hello all,First time here and first time as a Patek owner. I recently picked up this 1991 (per archive date) Calatrava 3923 and I am amazed at the quality and workmanship. I used to own a Rolex and I thought that was king, until now. As I have been researching and reading around, it does appear that the size is smaller than what is generally accepted nowadays as a men's watch (32mm). The lines and look to the watch are timeless (IMHO) and I would think they would never go out of style. What I'm undecided about is whether it is too small, which will look weird on me and also diminish the value later on. My thoughts are (while watching current men's fashion) is that the smaller watches will make a comeback. If you look at the suit's men are wearing now, they are retro to the 50's and 60's in style and cut. The large 38-44mm watches look way out of place (again, my opinion only). What do you guys think, are the smaller-midsize watches dead or making a comeback?My wrist is 7.5"

Hamilton Brainstorming
Obviously, the 700+members of WTF are not all fans and collectors of Hamilton watches. . . and probably for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that the brand is not as ubiquitous as . . . Seiko or even Invicta.So, what ideas would you suggest to interest the other members in Hamilton?
