JC de Castelbajac Lego Watch Collection
Honestly, what can I really say about these watches that isn't clear from what you see. Designer Lego style digital timepieces from French designer JC de Castelbajac (JC DC). It is actually part of his whole future Lego wear lineup. You can see the Lego version of it in the video, and images from the real runway show below. Odd? Sure. Provocative? Maybe. "No darling, leave the Lego baseball cap on in bed, I like it that way." Weird stuff, but it is cool. The JC DC Lego watches comes in a number of colors - six versions to be exact. See them being worn all at the same time all Nicolas Hayek style.The style is 80s, very 80s - but apparently that is in right now. He seems to suggest that the future will be like the 80s. Given what is going on in the world right now, I could use some of that "America is the best place in the world" mentality these days.

Royal Oak 15450 problem?
Hello,Yesterday i received my 15450. I wound it and it starting to run. All good. I woke up this morning, time was accurate andi put it on. However, 2 hours later i noticed that it stopped. First i throught maybe its the power reserve although strange since i was wearing it for a couple of hours. So i wound it. Nothing happend. I wound it again, changed the date and time. Still nothing. Then i started to shake the watch so the rotor was making complete movements. This worked as the watch started to work again.Now, when i turn the watch and i can hear the a rather loud noise from the rotor. I do not know if this is normal since i didnt pay attention to it when i got it last night. Its like a loud winding noise. Can anyone please tell me if this noise is normal?

Wall Street Journal on trouble in Swiss watch industry
I thought yesterday¡¯s WSJ piece on the Swiss watch industry was fascinating. It¡¯s behind a paywall, but here are some excerpts (it¡¯s a long feature article in the Business & Finance section):GENEVA¡ªYou¡¯re 25 years old, bask-ing in the glow of your first big job pro-mo-tion and a hefty raise. Why not splurge on a big-ticket item?Your fa-ther might have bought a fancy Swiss watch. But the thought doesn¡¯t oc-cur to you¡ªfor most of your life, you¡¯ve used your cell-phone to check the time. In-stead, you book a get-away to Costa Rica, which you doc-u-ment ex-ten-sively on In-sta-gram.Swiss watch-mak-ing ex-ec-u-tive Jean-Claude Biver wants to change that think-ing. From his perch at lux-ury con-glom-er-ate LVMH Mo?t Hen-nessy Louis Vuit-ton, the 68-year-old has seen younger gen-er-a-tions drift away from his cen-turies-old in-dus-try. He is on a mis-sion to get them in-ter-ested in watches, be-fore it¡¯s too late.¡°It¡¯s the first time we have young peo-ple not buy-ing watches,¡± says Mr. Bi
