3 Exceptional Boutique Watches We Found Outside of SIHH 2015
Every year at Geneva’s SIHH watch salon, a host of luxury watch brands (most of them owned by the Richemont Group) unveil their new timepieces to international retailers, collectors, and journalists. In recent years, other smaller, non-participating brands have set up shop outside of the SIHH in Geneva’s luxury hotels, displaying new models of their own. Here are three notable examples of such watches that we found this year.Manufacture Royale Androgyne Origine, 245th Anniversary Limited EditionNamed for the watch atelier founded by French literary icon Voltaire in 1770, this boutique brand is know for tourbillon watches with steampunk-influenced designs. The new Androgyne Origine commemorates 245 years since the foundation of the original Manufacture Royale. Its complex case is made up of 52 parts and is especially notable for its moving, flexible lugs that make the large timepiece eminently wearable on all types of wrists despite its rather large case diameter (43 mm).

Moritz Grossman Benu And Atum Watches From Glashutte
Moritz Grossman is a name you probably haven't heard of before, which is a bit surprising given the lineage of the man the company is named for. Back in 1842, Herr Grossman began a watchmaking apprenticeship, which he ended up completing early due to his talent. Over the next 13 years, he traveled around Europe (including a stop in La Chaux-de-Fonds), before coming back to Dresden in 1845. And this year, a new chapter in the legacy of Mortiz Grossman sees a new high-end German watch brand.In Dresden, Mortiz's good friend Adolph Lange (yes, the A. Lange) had established his facilities in Glash¨¹tte, and convinced Grossman to stay in the area. Stay he did, creating things such as the Glash¨¹tte lathe, and various escapements and other movement improvements until his death in 1885. Grossman is part of the history of German watchmaking and today his name is on the face of some gorgeous, wonderfully Germanic timepieces of a high pedigree.Given the name this brand carries, and where it's locat

Patek Only Watch 2017
Launched in 2011, the Reference 5208 Triple Complication wristwatch showcases Patek Philippe’s mastery in the sphere of grand complication watches. It brings together a minute repeater, a monopusher chronograph, and an instantaneous perpetual calendar displayed in apertures along an arc. This is also one of very few ultra-complicated watches endowed with a self-winding mechanism. Orchestrating this highly sophisticated combination of functions is a movement comprising 719 parts, hand-finished throughout in accordance with the great Genevan tradition. Reference 5208T-010 was created specially for Only Watch 2017. It stands out as the first and only version of this timepiece ever produced in titanium, a metal rarely used for a Patek Philippe. This unique piece features a blue dial adorned with a hand-guilloched carbon-fiber pattern, underlining the manufacture’s role as protector of the rare handcrafts. The caliber R CH 27 PS QI movement, visible through a sapphire-crystal d

5167 bracelet vs strap
Does the 5167 on a bracelet lose its value more than a 5167 on a strap? I've noticed that even tough the bracelet is quite a bit more than the strap new, preowned there isn't much different in price. If you buy a preowned 5167 on a bracelet can you sell the bracelet and put it on a strap or will that hurt the overall value if the watch?I happen to prefer the strap more but I've come across a pretty good deal on a preowned bracelet but would want to sell the bracelet and put it on a strap. I'd love to hear everyones thoughts and opinions.
