Historical Perspectives: A Look At What Hermes Means To Watch Lovers & Why The Apple Watch Hermes Edition Makes Total Sense
Two months ago, Apple followed up the announcement of the Apple Watch with a special edition model in partnership with no less than Hermès. Hermès is, of course, the still-to-this-day family run hyper-luxury lifestyle brand by which all others are measured. It is quite simply one of the great brand stories of the 20th century and beyond, and a rare success story of those who never cut corners being rewarded by the consumer. Further, Hermès is actually an important brand to a watch collector – having partnered with several great Swiss manufactures over the years as a distributor, retailer, co-designer, and more. Even more, several Hermès items, though technically unrelated to horology, have become part of the watch collecting dialog. Today, we'll explore some of the more important contributions of Hermès to horology, and examine where the Apple Watch Hermès fits in, if at all. 1 OF 23 Hermes As A Retailer And Value Driver

Aloha, new member
Aloha New member here. I've been reading your posts for a few months, I finally decided to become a member. I have a datejust II, that I bought for thanksgiving last year. This is my first rolex, and I've been very happy with it. It does run -2 seconds/day slow, and I would like to have it regulated. I understand that -2 sec/day is very good for a mechanical watch, but could be better. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Watch Running Fast/Slow
My Omega is relatively new and I know +1 a day is nothing to complain about on a SMP 300M Chrono but is there a resting position that actually slows the watch down a bit to sort of off set the +1 per day?Your help is apprecaited, I demand accuracy!

Patek vs Patek (5127 vs 5227)
Hi folks, I am at a stage in my life when I am kind of getting close to finally get a Patek (late 30's). Looking to reduce the no of watches ans stick to 2-3 pieces that I will own on a long term.I have a Sub that is there to stay and the rest of the watches are subject to be put up for sale to fund the Patek or other watch.I am a big fan of the Nautilus but I cannot justify paying that much for it and the Calatrava makes a bit more sense as I ll always have a sports Rolex to compliment iting back to the 2 Patek models, I did a lot of reading and took a liking to the crown guards of the 5127. I tend to think it is one of the best buys. I also like the 5227 so I am considering it.SizeOf course we are looking at 37mm vs 39mm. I have no problem with 37mm as I am old school and still believe 35mm vintage pieces are great.Movement 315 vs 324Any pros and cons here?I look forward to hear other people's experience with these models. Pros and cons, versatility etc.some photos are always nice to
