In-Depth: Le Garde Temps ¨C Naissance D'Une Montre, Greubel Forsey's Mission To Protect Traditional Watchmaking
What would happen if traditional watchmaking techniques died out? For Stephen Forsey and Robert Greubel, this thought was anathema. Their namesake company, Gruebel Forsey, relies on these very techniques to produce timepieces that have become lore among modern collectors. If these techniques die out, then their future, and the future of other high-end independents dies out too. So, to prolong these traditions, they joined forces with Philippe Dufour to create an incubator program for fully hand-crafted watchmaking called Naissance d’une Montre. One watchmaker was selected to be the recipient of what is arguably the finest collective of horological knowledge in existence, endowing him with the skills needed to create a watch, by hand, completely from scratch. 2 OF 6 Stephen Forsey, one half of the duo behind Greubel Forsey, describes the importance of safeguarding traditional watchmaking skills: Earlier this year, I had the chance to speak with Stephen Forsey a

Problem with my '69 Bulova Sea King 11anacd movement
Well, unfortunately this watch I picked up awhile back, which was in excellent external and internal condition, loses time....a lot. I had a local watchmaker (who is Omega trained I believe) check it out and I was told that one thing affects another, and that it would be cost prohibitive to fix. He's a great guy who's done me favors in the past. So..I'm left wondering what to do with this watch. The movement, a '70 marked 11anacd, looks pristine but if I recall he mentioned there was a problem with the cannon pinion and a related part that was causing it to lose time. I'm wondering if I should search out another similar movement, or perhaps another Bulova movement with the same dimensions; and from the same time period, that'll fit the case. Perhaps a mechanical instead of an automatic? Would that be heresy to change type of movements? Opinions, options, let's here it please. I'm at a loss of what to do with this nice looking watch.I'll update later with a pic or two, but I be

5270g & 5070p
I love the white metal and blue dials. Agree with some of the criticism of 5270 dial. From what I can see, the 5070 is ~ 120 (sealed/new) and the 5270 can be had for ~ 135-140. 1) thoughts?2) if I wear the watch in a rotation, I see how with the 5070 just set time and wind. But, with PC, do you wind when not wearing, or reset it and if the latter, is that an issue/cause wear?Thx
