Inside The Manufacture: With Jaeger-LeCoultre In Switzerland, Pt. 1: The Very First Tourbillons Of JLC
The tourbillon hasn't exactly become ubiquitous, but there's an argument to be made that it may be, just a bit, a victim of its own success. To put it more exactly, the tourbillon may be a victim of the success of modern precision manufacturing methods, which have made it possible to produce tourbillon wristwatches that can be priced almost unbelievably inexpensively, relative to the prices the complication used to command. However, if there is one almost universally valid truism in mechanical horology nowadays, it's that it's not so much what you do as how you do it, and how Jaeger-LeCoultre did tourbillons – and continues to do them – is a microcosm of the evolution of the tourbillon, and the hopes we might have for its future. On last week's visit to the Jaeger-LeCoultre manufacture in Le Sentier, we got a chance to look deeper than usual into what the tourbillon meant, and could mean in years to come. 1 OF 6 Jaeger-LeCoultre's colle

SUPER Engineer Type II on a Victorinox Airboss Mach 6 - What do you think?
I'm looking to fit a metal bracelet to my Airboss Mach 6 as I'm looking a change from leather on this one and was wondering who here has tried the SUPER Engineer Type II on any of their watch and how it stack up quality wise.

Meet Mr and Mrs Smith
Have a nice weekend everyone...

Incoming! Panerai Luminor Due 3 Days Titanio (PAM00728)
This is a watch I like far more even than I thought I would. I know the Due range is getting a lot of hate from the Panerai hardcore, but I think that's really a shame. It brings something new (smaller, thinner, dressier) to Panerai in my opinion, without losing the essence of the brand. I don't plan to take this anywhere near water, so the limited water resistance (30m), is of no concern to me. I know it can be argued the crown guard is pointless, but it still protects the crown physically, as well as aiding the water/dust resistance somewhat (and it is of course iconic to the Luminor).The movement looks quite nice, and is proving pretty accurate (+4 so far, which is fine by me), and also winds beautifully, probably the best feeling manual wind watch I have (and I have some nice ones). The watch overall is very well finished, not perhaps to the very highest level, but not far off in my opinion.The titanium case is quite thin (just over 10mm, but being a relatively large 42mm in diamet

Brown is so appealing
Or what?
