Introducing: The World's First Fully Functional 3D Printed Watch: The Christoph Laimer Tourbillon
It was an unseasonably warm Saturday afternoon in Brooklyn, and I was walking my dog when my phone buzzed with a text message from a friend, containing only a link to something on Thingiverse (a 3D printing file-sharing site). I opened the link and my jaw dropped; I was looking at a 3D printed tourbillon watch running by itself, built by Christoph Laimer, a Swiss engineer. This is an actual watch, with a tourbillon, that is almost entirely 3D printed. Think about it: the tourbillon – a 200+ year old invention designed by one of the greatest watchmakers to ever live, which for most of its history has been practically synonymous with hand-craftsmanship and high end watchmaking, has been produced in a working watch with a 3D printer.  You can wind it, set the time, and carry it with you. Sure, it's a bit large (a pocket watch, not a wristwatch, and they'd need to be good sized pockets to boot) not very accurate, and only runs for about 30 minutes

Introducing: The Rotonde De Cartier Astromysterieux
This was a big year for men’s watches at Cartier. You may have read about the new Cartier Drive and the other pre-SIHH releases that we covered in December of last year, but one that you may not have heard about yet is this Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Astromystérieux. 1 OF 3 This watch is a fantastic example of the technical skills that Cartier possesses and doesn't show off enough. Cartier is known for their vintage (and modern) mystery clocks – Louis Cartier and Maurice Couet mastered the mystery clock mechanism in 1912, taking inspiration from the famous illusionist Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin. This year, Cartier decided to modify and apply this technology to the Rotonde de Cartier in their brand new Astromystérieux. 2 OF 3 This watch is different from any watch I have seen in recent years. It is not just a mystery watch, but rather a mystery movement. Instead of just the hands being attached to the two moving crystals, t

Oris Designed or ETA/SW/??? Movement
I noticed a number of Oris watches actually have movements which are designed by Oris. Although they are based on ETA designs, I'm guessing that they are sufficiently different to be classified as Oris design (?).Anyway, my question is whether there is any value or significance of having a watch with an Oris designed movement? Is this something that people in this forum actually look at when deciding between Oris watches.

Monsters - old versus new?
Seiko Monsters (1st gen.) seem to be pretty affordable these days. Other than hacking and winding is there any quality difference between 1st and 2nd? How long do you have to shake a first generation to give it a good start for the day, assuming you have let it sit long enough to stop? I personally don't care whether a watch hacks, although I understand why people do. Actually, I should say that in a casual/dive watch I don't care much if it hacks. On a nicer, more elegant watch (i.e. a more expensive watch) it is a must. I do expect more if I pay more. The short version of my question is whether there is any actual difference in the quality and durability between the Gen. 1 and Gen. 2. I've seen some deals on Gen. 1's that have really tempted me, but the price difference is still far less than $100.00.So, opinions please!P.S. I don't have a real preference between the two as far as cosmetics go, but the Gen. 2's do have more options...

Finally...Extra Thin
Just wanted to share my excitement about my new 15202 with people who appreciate watches. Pick it up a few hours ago from my AD. Thanks to all Jumbo owners who posted pics for the enabling!
