Frederique Constant Takes on the High-End with Their New In-House Perpetual Calendar
Perpetual calendars are one of the darlings of complicated mechanical watches. Traditionally, they display the time, day of the week, date (day and month), and moonphase, all while keeping track of how many days are in a specific month and accounting for that extra leap day every four years. That means that once you set the watch to the right time and date, it will know that September only has 30 days and every fourth February has 29, staying correct for a very, very long time. To do all that mechanically is a feat of design and engineering, a feat which usually carries a very big price tag.When you're talking about mechanical perpetual calendar watches, you're usually talking five figures¡­to start.? Prices can easily reach 20¡­50¡­100 thousand dollars for an automatic perpetual calendar from a famous brand. That's why what Frederique Constant have done here is relatively amazing: an in-house automatic perpetual calendar starting at $8,795.The Frederique Constant Manufacture Perpetual Ca

Buying Omega PO
Hey All,I've been popping into an AD for the last six months or so and eyeing up the Omega PO. I'm really close to pulling the trigger here as a combined christmas/birthday/new job present to myself. I just have a few questions for the more experienced:1) Is now a good time to buy? Is there any reason to wait until 2011 that I should know about, or a reason not to wait?2) Pricing? I've managed to get the price down to just below $3400 w/ a sticker price of $3950. Is that considered to be a fair value, or am I overpaying?Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas everyone!

Watches rappers wear, any idea?
Hey everyone, earlier today I was skipping through channels on the TV and ran into a show called 106 and park on BET. Well they had rap videos playing and it was kind of cool to watch. All the rappers had these bling bling watches. I tried so hard but could not tell what kind they are. Does anyone know what rappers are wearing these days? Seems like they are all platinum watches.
