Introducing The Piaget Altiplano 38mm Skeleton 1200S For Only Watch 2013
Piaget has really struck on something with the Altiplano Skeleton, managing to create the world's thinnest (5.34mm) automatic openworked watch in a way that is both delicate and masculine. For Only Watch 2013¡ªthe 5th edition of the biennial charity auction for Duchenne muscular dystrophy¡ªPiaget will be offering up a unique Altiplano Skeleton that has been given a black PVD finish to highlight the watch's darker side. 2 OF 4 The Original Altiplano Skeleton for Only Watch 2011 While the Altiplano has been a Piaget mainstay for some time now, interestingly, the company's first stab at skeletonizing the Altiplano was also an Only Watch. Offered up in the 2011 auction, the first Altiplano skeleton was also PVD treated, though as you would expect from the first skeleton in the line, it was a very different watch - you can see our hands-on look at the original here.?Since then, the company has refined the movement significantly and the white gold incarnation has become one

AP ROO Ti Bracelet?
I sent an email to Clearwater but didn't get a response, figured I would ask here.I know you can purchase the SS and Gold ROO bracelet straight from AP. Can you also purchase one in Ti? I'm thinking ahead on the 'Grey Ghost' piece and would like to have the versatility of bracelet as well as the rubber (plus I think it will look fantastic).

Vintage Patek Philippe Pocket Watch
Greetings! I have never ventured into the Patek world, but clearly appreciate those timepieces which are outside of my price range. Without going into the details, this family heirloom was passed on to me over the weekend. From my minimal research, it shows a serial number of 159057, which appears to be from the time between 1910 and 1915. The movement has the name Chas. N.

I am not even sure when the last time this was running, so I am concerned about even testing the movements until I can get it to an expert. My hope is to have an expert service it and put into working operations again. Any suggestions you have about servicing?Also, something I found neat about the monogram, it is not engraved/etched into the piece, it is
