Carl F. Bucherer Manero ChronoPerpetual
Carl F. Bucherer presents the new Manero ChronoPerpetual, combining a perpetual calendar with moon phase and leap year displays and a flyback chronograph with tachymeter scale. A Manufacture movement from Vaucher, with contemporary decoration in the distinctive style of the Lucerne-based Bucherer brand, creates the exclusive mechanical foundation for this new timepiece. The Manero ChronoPerpetual presents its myriad of temporal information in a clear, logical, and legible fashion. The displays at 12, 6 and 9 are divided into inner and outer sections or tracks, separated by a fine black line and further set apart by different colors and finishes: brushed silver contrasts with matte white. The inner tracks of the counters at 6 and 9 display the chronograph hours and minutes via shorter, black hands. Chronograph seconds are counted by the large, central seconds hand. Small continuous seconds are located at 12. The tapered hour and minute hands of the primary time display are Superluminova

Speedy in the snow
Playing with the kids outside in the snow, timing how long they played.

Wierdest thing happened
The last time I wore my speedy was last Sunday around dinner time, 5/10. Wore the sub after that. Today, I'm back to wearing the speedy and the date and time totally threw me off. I've never gotten better than a day and a half of power reserve. The 3606 movement is rated at 44 hours. The stop time was around 11p, Wednesday, 5/13, which means I got over 3 days or at least 72 hours out of the reserve. Anyway, I'm not complaining but does that sound right? Maybe I really wound it up before I put it back in the case...

Five year old watch breaks for second time
Purchased a sub c just over 5 years ago and wouldn¡¯t even call it a daily. Two years in it stopped and was told while still under warranty a jewel had come loose and jammed the movement. Received full service at the time Today just 3 years later I¡¯ve been daily wearing it while down in Florida Swimming etc but certainly nothing out of the ordinary. All of a sudden it just stopped. Tried winding but seems nothing catches when I¡¯m trying to wind it. I can change time and date no problem but nothing will get it going. Mainspring? Lube job? Stem problem ?Really though. Twice in 5 years. I beat the snot out of my Seiko daily and still runs like a top
