Watches and F1: Tissot Lotus F1
This one's a bit of an oddball, really. Almost completely forgotten and overlooked by both parties, the Tissot Lotus F1 represents a time when both Tissot and Team Lotus were far from what enthusiasts would call their "classic era", but at the same time both were trying out new and revolutionary technologies. Getting right to brass tacks, it's a digital watch dating from 1980, right at the heart of the digital revolution, and it's a fascinating example of a technology that we as enthusiasts often leave by the wayside.It's a cornucopia of complications, including a chronograph, countdown timer, two alarms, two agendas (a date memorizing function), a second time zone, an hour signal, and a calendar.

Patek waiting lists
Hi everyone Ive decided what I would like as my first Patek, a 5712R.having visited the salon in geneva and London over the last two months Ive learnt there is a year waiting list for this model. The London salon took my name and contact details but no deposit. Im just a bit worried after a year I won't hear anything, is there anyway to guarantee that you are definitely on some sort of list. There must be others putting their name down so surely this list and wait time should increase in length everyday?!essentially my question is what is the best way to ensure you can buy/order one?
