Watch-Lust: Muhle Glashutte Marinus III
We haven’t talked about Muhle Glashutte on worn&wound yet, but this company is certainly one that Zach and I have admired for quite a while. ?They’re watch line features an incredibly high ratio of watch-lust worthy time pieces, each seeming to pair tradition and a unique design perfectly. From the Terranaut II to the 29er Chronograph, there’s just so much to like about the work that Muhle Glashutte is doing today. ?The watch in their current line that most has my attention is the?Marinus III. ?It’s?a simple diver with a lot of character, and I want one.The Marinus III diver features an ETA 2824 25 jewel self-winding mechanical movement with 40 hour power reseve. ?The case is brushed stainless steal, and features a?3 mm thick?sapphire?crystal and open case back. ?What I love most about the Marinus III is that its styling perfectly?straddles?the line between?bold design?and subdued beauty. ?The coloring on both the black and white variations are simple; the b

Bring a Loupe: An Untouched Omega Speedmaster, An Unusual Breitling, And Other Interesting Finds (Including A Vulcain Cricket That Might Have Belonged To President Truman)
This week, you followed all the exciting SIHH novelties live from Geneva; today, Bring A Loupe returns with some really gorgeous vintage watches – or vintage-inspired, in the case of my favorite Grand Seiko. You will notably discover how a Speedmaster looked when it was sold in 1971, and admire a nicely preserved Movado. I have also found an intriguing bullhead watch from Breitling, and a not-so-great medical chronograph from Universal Geneve. This is your Bring A Loupe for January 22, 2016. An Omega Speedmaster Reference 145.022, NOS From 1971 1 OF 14 Finding an untouched example is a recurrent fantasy for watch collectors – probably not as frequent as a time-travel machine to stock up on vintage references, but not far off. Here, this Omega Speedmaster reference 145.022 follows this time-capsule logic: it was purchased in the UK back in 1971 and left in the box since, to the point that the bracelet links are imprinted on the watch holder.

Citizen Wingman
I had a question does anyone know where is the best place to find vintage citizen watches. I am graduating from college in December so I wanted to buy myself an early graduation present hehe. I was looking around and I have fallen in love with the citizen wingman. I saw a few for sale on ebay but I was hoping to find a store that sold one, I would like to find one for sale by someone who knows them, most of the ebay auctions are as is, estate sales, etc. Anyone know a good source for vintage citizen watches and want to help me out, I would appreciate any information. I have attached a picture of one I was looking at for a reference.ThanksNick

Winding the JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon
Hi all,This is my first post around here. I recently acquired a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon, which is an automatic. I know most automatics have overwinding clutches to protect them, but I wanted to confirm that this watch does indeed have a mechanism to prevent overwinding. The manual simply says "the crown will not lock when the watch is fully wound." I'm just being extra cautious!Also, does anyone know how many turns of the crown fully wind the watch?Thanks!ottobonn

Watches cheaper in Italy/France than the U.S.?
Hello...I am new to the forum and tried to do a search but couldn't find any replies so I wanted to ask. I live in the United States and will be visiting Italy and France soon and wanted to know if watches (Omegas, Breitling and Baume et Mercier, in particular) are cheaper in Italy or France vs. the US. If so, what is the ballpark of savings when buying there? Thank you!-W
