Buben & Zorweg Magnum Luxury Watch Safe
Since its establishment in 1995, Buben & Zorweg has transformed from a small firm producing packaging for high-end timepieces and jewelry into a manufacturer of watch winders, fine mechanical watches and - since 2008 - luxury safes as well. This time we are looking at the brand's latest safe called the Magnum, designed to be a solution for (nearly) all problems of the concerned watch collector.Safes play a subservient role most of the time. They are heavy, cold, uniform and (mostly) uninteresting objects which only serve to protect the rare, the unique, the brittle and the priceless that is stored inside. The problem this creates is the stark contrast between the aesthetics, the sentiment and the general 'mood' represented by ordinary safes and the invaluable objects which they are meant to keep secure. In other words, ordinary safes scarcely match the levels of refinement that is seen in high-end timepieces and nor do they fit the styling of a luxury apartment's bedroomand who wan

CT Scuderia Automatic Mechanical Watches For 2013
Enrico Margaritelli's brand CT Scuderia is going mechanical for 2013. A while ago I offered a review of their Corsa Chronograph. The interesting design has a stopwatch-style case that some people loved and that some people were not drawn to at all. At over $1,000, some people felt that they would be more interested in the brand if they contained mechanical movements. CT Scuderia was a bit of ahead of everyone as they were working on mechanical versions of their watches from almost the start. Meeting with Enrico late in 2012, we talked about the future of the brand, as well as what the inclusion of the mechanical watches mean to to the brand.You can also check out our video interview with Margaritelli from that time below. A rather prolific designer, the CT Scuderia brand is among the few very "super Italian" watches he's designed. Without holding back much, there is a various degree of Italian flag spirit in the design. Some CT Scuderia watches have nothing inherently Italian about the

Omega Speedmaster Tachymetre - Day and Date question
Hi all, this is my first post so please be gentleI have just purchased an Omega Speedmaster and have some questions, unfortunately the people in the shop weren't great!The watch has a day and month dial at the top, my first question is should the dial move around to show the date too? Also the month is set to Mar, how can I change it to Feb?Secondly, the dial at the bottom looks like it's for the 12hr time, should this also rotate?I know you've probably been asked these questions before, I did try a search but couldn't find my exact model and the booklet provided is not that easy to understand.Any help much be greatly appreciated. PS, hope I have posted the images correctly!!

Sub and suit.
Hello fellow TRF member I know this has been discussed many times before but I just wonder what watch connaisseurs think about this example. To be fair, I don't wear a suit daily but sometimes I do and I have a few of them in my closet. I used to wear them with a cheeper dress watch. Besides, James Bond is an example for me and since he has worn a sub I thought this would be my little wink to that.Personally, I think it's hot and my wife...well...she doesn't care that much lol So...I open this thread for some more self-awareness...What do you think or ?
