Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 Rouge Watch
Now isn't that pretty?? This is a special Milan Boutique edition of the newer Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra-Thin watch. The version with the limited "heritage" dial that is. According to Jaeger-LeCoultre in the 1930's red (among other bright colors) were very popular for wrist watch dials. This model has a bright red lacquered dial. I don't know whether it is limited and if it is only available at the JLC Milan boutique - but it is a looker.

Hublot La Cl¨¦ Du Temps Watch, For Time Control Freaks
Pretty wild right? This is the new version of the La Clef du Temps watch. From "La Clef" to "La Cl¨¦," funny enough they both mean "the key of time." The original La Clef du Temps was never originally meant to be an Hublot watch. It was designed for the Confrerie Horlogere under BNB Concept before it went bankrupt. When Hublot bought up the Confrerie and Mathias Buttet, it got the La Clef du Temps with it. I wasn't really too enthused on that watch - writing about the La Clef du Temps here. I later learned that Mathias designed it with the Predator in mind, and the dial was meant to look like a brain.Now the weird movement that is able to speed up and slow down time is back in a new watch called the La Cle du Temps - and it is part of the Hublot Confrerie (a division of exclusive, very high-end Hublot watches). It is in a brand new case to hold the movement (which is a reworked version of the one from a couple of years ago). The watch is now much more futuristic and feels more in line w

How To Identify Watches' Materials
Many people use watch and may be familiar with the watches, but few knows the manufactured craft and its materials. There are several materials used in watch.1. stainless steel stainless steel is defined as a steel alloy with a minimum of 10.5% or 11% chromium content by mass. It is the most common material used for watchcases because of its durability. A watch made of steel is the more durable for everyday use than precious metal watches. Just like the watch in this picture below.[removed]2. GoldGold is the second most common watch material, and a watch made of gold is as valued as jewelry. Usually 18K gold can be more durable and be comfortable to wear. Just like the watch in this picture below.[removed]3. Gold PlatedSome watches' alloy round case is made of gold plated which is a thin layer of gold covered the round case. These watches are more cheaper than the ones made of gold. Just like the watch in this picture below and this one is 14K Gold Plated. Just like the watch in this p
