Nomos Introduces DUW 3001 Automatic, Minimatic and more
Nomos is always an exciting brand to visit at BaselWorld. Last year, they wowed with the introduction of the swing system, their proprietary escapement that marked a huge step for the brand (as it would any brand, really) and their Metro. This year, Nomos came ready with the natural progression of that development, boasting several new models and a totally new automatic movement.First up are the Metro 38 Datum and the Metro 38 Datum black. The Metro 38 Datum is a companion piece to the previously released Datum, which is undoubtedly one of Nomos' quirkiest timepieces. At 38mm, it's 1.5mm larger than the Datum, but it still feels perfectly balanced¡ªperhaps even more so due to the more restrained dial. Eschewing the power reserve indicator, the Metro 38 Datum instead focuses on bringing symmetry to the design. We had an early look at this piece a few months ago, and seeing it in the metal certainly helped build our appreciation for what at the time felt like a curious addition to the lin

ROO and Rolex
Don't worry this is not a Vs post Not sure if it's an OCD or misplaced brand loyalty but I have also collected exclusively one brand to the point where I had 5 Rolex watches which all looked very similar, yes to me and other WIS the subtle different between a 114060, 116610LN and 116600 were obvious but my watch rotation lacked size and style diversity.Moving forward I'm just down to the 116500 and 116600.I've bored you guys before with numerous 15400 questions but I've ultimately decided it wasnt right for me, I moved on to my original AP love the ceramic diver which was fruitless for what I wanted but in doing so it opened me to the ROO and dare I say I'm smitten.It's about as far away from the Rolex design as I could imagine but there's something about them, I couldn't let go of my two favourite Rolex's but would want to add it into the mix.How do you guys with a brand mix of AP ROO's and Rolex's find your rotation gels?I'm keeping exact model under wraps for now but I have made a p

2 days, 1 night...Baselworld, Le Brassus & Geneva
Baselworld was an experience, the Joux Valley was amazing (including lunch at AP's own hotel), and the Geneva boutiques were as wonderful as always!
