A Happy New Year to all!We begin the new year with lots of high-end watches from A. Lange & S?hne, F.P. Journe, Kari Voutilainen and Maitres du Temps. We also find out how the Rolex Submariner became the icon that it is today; revisit the case of the Swatch Group versus Tiffany & Co.; learn more about the history of Laco; and finally see how an IWC Ingenieur 5005 is repaired.1. F.P. Journe Sonnerie Souveraine Watch Hands-OnFran?ois-Paul Journe is one of the most talented watchmakers of our generation and the Sonnerie Souveraine is arguably his proudest creation - it is said that he wears it everywhere. The impressive thing about the Sonnerie Souveraine is that it was designed to be simple to operate and to be as mechanically durable and hardy as possible. For a closer look at this watch, which happens to be Journe¡¯s personal piece, hit the link below.Source: watches-dealer2.

A Quick Overview Of Sinn Watches
When it comes to watches, we all have our particular tastes - one person may love chronographs, and another may opt for a simple three-hander. ?What we can all appreciate though, are a handful of attributes that a single brand has built into their entire lineup:Impeccable German aestheticsSolid build qualityImpressive mechanical movementsThese are all, of course, represented in the Sinn catalog. Photo credits for images in this article go to Zach Weiss by the way, and we appreciate his great shots. Surprisingly, for a brand that's "only" been around since the '60s, they have quite a variety of models as well - meaning those three attributes above are going to show up in a style of watch you'd want to have on your wrist.In the '60s, Helmut Sinn was a pilot who wasn't happy with the watches he was finding in the market, and decided to create his own. ?Additionally, he decided he wanted to sell direct to the consumer, cutting out the costs the "middle man" imposed. ?In may ways, it seems

Snoopy Speedy watches the shuttle launch....
I think I have wanted to see the shuttle launch since it first started flying. I have a good friend and we've been talking about it for the past 10 years and realized we'd better get going as there were only 4 remaining before the shuttle is retired later this year.We watched the predawn launch from a friends house about 20 miles south of Cape Caneveral. IT WAS AWESOME! Now we've decided we have to go back to the next launch in July (3rd to last) too.After the launch, we went out to the Kennedy Space center. Some pics from that day wearing, what else? My Speedmaster Professional Snoopy.Sorry some of the pics are less than sharp...they were all taken with my IPhone! Hope you enjoy!--Paul Snoopy checks out the Rocket Farm of Redstones, Atlas, Gemini, Titans etc..One of the few remaining unused Lunar Landers in front of the Apollo 13 mission patch...The Snoopy statue inside the Apollo missions complex...Believe this is the command module from Apollo 14 or 15...this thing has actuall

Visited European Watch Co in Boston v.Pics
Stopped by the very friendly and knowledgeable European Watch Co on Newbury St in Boston. I stopped in as they had a 5164 and 5167 in stock (pre-owned, they are not an AD) and I wanted to compare them side by side. I also wanted to compare the 5726 dial to the Aquanaut dial.The hold up with the Aquanaut is the bezel looks a little dinged up (you can see the marks in the close up pic, they are right by the 1oclock mark on outer bezel and also in between the 12-1 mark middle bezel. I came to realize three things:1. I am glad my 5167 purchase fell through as the 5164 is perfection.2. I am glad I went with 5712 over 5726 as the 5726 dial in person is identical color to the 5164 so the blue dial 5712 is a perfect mate for the 5164.3. The Nautilus looks much better on a leather strap than I had originally thought.I also tried on a watch that is on my grail list, A Lange Platinum Datograph Man that Platinum is heavy and the movement is mesmerizing. I work with Josh at European Watch Co but e
