3 Standout Complicated Watches from Hong Kong “Watches & Wonders” Fair
Hong Kong’s inaugural “Watches and Wonders” salon, held September 25-28, featured 13 luxury watch brands, several of which launched significant new models at the fair. Here is a look at three of them, a perpetual calendar with tourbillon from A. Lange & S?hne, and minute repeaters from Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet.A. Lange & S?hne, the only German watchmaker to exhibit at Watches and Wonders, unveiled its extremely limited (15 pieces), immensely complicated, and intricately decorated Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Handwerkskunst. Like the original version of the watch released last year, this one has a perpetual calendar that features Lange’s patented peripheral month ring, as well as indications for the date, day, leap year, and moon-phase, all of which advance instantaneously. The tourbillon mechanism has a patented stop-seconds function that can be observed from the back of the movement.The “Handwerkskunst” moniker refers

Patek Philippe Horology Programme Of New York Watch School
A career path in watchmaking is not something very often offered to kids leaving school. Before we know it, we're off to college or straight into the world of work without so much as acknowledging the continued existence of horology. These days, I'm so ingrained in the watchmaking industry, it stuns me when people express amazement that assembly and after-sales processes are performed by real humans, not super-accurate machines. But you needn't spend much time at the knee of an old watchmaker to understand why. The mechanics of haute horlogerie are not quite the same as anything else. And it isn't about intricacy, per se, it's about experience; it's about all the silly little things that don't make rational sense; simply put, it's all about time. Patek Philippe have underlined their understanding of this fact by investing in an on-site school at their New York service centre.By running a two-year course, dubbed the Patek Philippe Horology Programme Of New York, focused on equipping new

Watch Spotting: Vladimir Putin Wearing A Blancpain Grande Date Aqua Lung While Signing Treaty To Annex Crimea
If you've been watching the news, you'll know that earlier today Russian President Vladimir Putin declared Crimea a part of Russia in a ceremony at the Kremlin. After a speech in front of parliamentarians and various regional governors, Putin sat down with leaders from the peninsula and signed a draft treaty annexing Crimea. We couldn't help but notice that there was a watch prominently displayed on his wrist. After a little research we deduced that Putin was wearing the Blancpain Grande Date Aqua Lung, a limited edition from nearly a decade ago. 2 OF 2 The Grande Date Aqua Lung is a special edition watch from the Léman collection. Here Putin is wearing the stainless steel version, though there was also an edition in rose gold. The case is 40mm and relatively slim at 11.4mm, which is why it slides under a suit cuff so easily. The styling harkens back to vintage Blancpain dive watches, but with the addition of the panoramic date complication at 6 o'

5110 WT question
Looking for some help...did all 5110 world timers come with both a sapphire and solid case back, or did it depend on the metal?

Rolex Sea Dweller
Gents,Recently bought a 16600 SD and it is awesome! I pulled the crown out today to set the date and time after not wearing it for a week and the time setting to the last position of the crown only clicks. The hands will not move. Almost like the bezel is rotating sound. Any thoughts on what this is and how to get er fixed? Thanks Gents
