Vacheron Constantin Reference 57260 Pocket Watch Is World's Most Complicated Watch Ever Made
To celebrate its 260 years of uninterrupted history, today, Vacheron Constantin has revealed the Vacheron Constantin Reference 57260 pocket watch, which, according to the manufacture,?is the most complicated watch ever made. Commissioned by one?of the top collectors in the world and?the result of eight years of research, development, prototyping, manufacturing, and?assembly all performed?in?Vacheron Constantin's Atelier Cabinotiers haute horlogerie?workshop, this unique piece was conceived to be the most complex mechanical timepiece ever created ¨C taking the title from another pocket watch, the Patek Philippe Caliber 89?pocket watch?and its 33 complications and 1,728 components.It is here, at the beginning, where we should mention that there is not one definitive rule as to what can and cannot be called a complication. Theoretically, everything beyond the simple timekeeping functions (hours, minutes, seconds), all functions could be called that, but some argue that features such as ret

Just picked up Quantum of Solace 2-disk DVD!
This one is apparently exclusive to Target. So, at the stroke of 5 this evening that is where I headed. Here it is. I had to go through three boxes to get to the DVD. And the 2-disk Special Edition comes with this book, exclusive to Target. And one more thing....They ran out of space after Daniel for my picture. -Bond

Running In
Do most mechanical watches "run-in" or "break-in" over time? I have an Aqua Tera co-axial chronograph that ran about 3 seconds slow a day for about the first year that I owned it and then it started to keep almost perfect time. I did nothing different. If it is on a watch winder it still runs a bit slow, but if I wear it and set it crown down each evening it is within 1 second a day and seems to be within 1 second a week. I usually change watches by then. I bought a PO chronograph last August and it ran about 3.5 seconds fast a day since I bought it with no change no matter how I left it over night. Crown up or down or face up or down did not seem to make any difference. If it was on a winder it still gained 3.5 seconds a day. Last week I left it crown up over night and it was right on, not fast the next day. Since then I have been checking it and it seems to keep perfect time, or at least the same as the Aqua Tera no matter how I leave it over night. Is this normal? Hal

I have another stupid question ......
Speaking of mechanical watches .....the wind up kind ......when you can only wind it a little bit , and it still runs .....what's going on .....I mean, a lot of my watches you have to wind them quite a bit to get to the end .......I think this is probably very good ....but what's going on when you can only wind it a bit ......and it still runs pretty well.....I'll have to check the Zodiac I have in mind about this question and see how long it runs for .....

Waiting pays off¡­
After about two and a half weeks, I began to worry that I'd never see this. It should have dawned on me that any package coming through western Canada would be delayed due to the Olympic games. But today, I looked out the front window and spied a postal truck with a packageThere was evidence that my confr¨¨res were a little curious about it when it landed in Canada…but all in all it was unscathed…and now the mandatory wrist shot…this thing is a beast!! And my Tissot is fighting for wrist time already…Thank you kenackers for checking in on the delivery status once in a while!
