What Do The Patek Philippe 3582 & The Apple Watch Have In Common?
I've been enjoying the Apple Watch for more than a few days at the time this post was written ¨C and it has got me thinking a lot about not just the future of electronic wrist watch functionality, but also watch design overall. What I've been most interested in is not only how smartwatch design will continue to evolve, but also what design precedents came before the Apple Watch that either helped inspire it or that it appears to coincidentally resemble.So, with that in mind, I felt it was a good idea to put together this fun little article on the odd similarities between the obscure Patek Philippe Ellipse Ref. 3582 (3582G) and the Apple Watch. I am actually rather convinced Apple was not at all inspired by the Patek Philippe 3582 during the design of the Apple Watch ¨C so I am not suggesting that this rare Patek Philippe Ellipse is some type of direct design ancestor of the Apple Watch. Rather, I am suggesting that watch design is both cyclical and so diverse that it is often inevitable

details of Mahatma Gandhi Zenith Pocketwatch
Gandhi was a political and spiritual leader of Indian Independece movement and a source of inspiration from Martin Luther King among many other major figures up to our days. He was named by Time Magazine as the second most important man of the 20th century (from Albert Einstein). Mahatma means great soul and be consistent with this one iota honorofic, he was a pioneer of Satyagraha, i.e. resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience and total non-violence which he India led to the independence of the Britain.

Thought this could be fun: What does your wife/girlfriend (or husband/boyfriend for some) think of your passion for watches? It's great to share with each other, but what about in the 'real world'? Is it a team effort, sharing in geekdom, giving each other reviews and tips, and skipping cuddling to take lume shots? Or is it 'to each his own', where there's an indifference in the air, and your collection goes unnoticed? Or do you flat out walk alone to the beat of ticking seconds hands, escaping laughter, ridicule and argument over "just a watch"?I'll go. My wife owns 3 beautiful pieces, one of which I bought for her. I usually see her wear each one maybe twice a year. For her, it is simply something that tells the time, and even then, "There's clocks everywhere I look, what would I need to wear one for." I've lectured and demonstrated at length lessons of craftsmanship, design, asthetics, micro-precision, blah blah blah (that's what she hears), all to no avail. The rolled eyes

Problem with new watch
Hi All,I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the correct forum or not? Mods please move the thread if it should be elsewhere?I recently purchased a Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. It was "new" except for the fact that it had been worn by an employee of the AD for a while and hence was sold at a fairly heavily discounted price.I wore it nearly every day for the first few days after purchase (as you do) and didn't notice any problems. However I gave it a little holiday for a few days and only rewound it today with the intention to wear it.It was when I re-set the time and date that I noticed that the date change comes at 04:30 (when I would be asleep hence I didn't spot this issue before). I have checked the manual - and as you would expect the date should click over at midnight. Do you think this watch might have been badly treated by the AD employee who changed the date during that dangerous 21:00 to 04:00 period? (I think those are the times between which some watches date change mecahnism c

The Stripper and the Patek
The Stripper and the Patek Mar 22, 2005 - 12:50 PM (This is a reposting of an article on another watch forum).PLEASE NOTE - I am a Patek owner and my wallet has on average about $15 (if I am lucky) in it! Last week I was entertaining some Japanese business guys and they wanted to see a strip club. So we go to a strip club in sleepy little Nashville but I forgot that I had my 5970 on my wrist. We find a spot and settle in, sip a drink and a beautiful girl sits down. After a few minutes of small talk she says That's a Patek isn't it?. Feeling stupid and more than a little worried I say Nope, just a cheap copy. Looking at my wrist in almost total darkness from 3 feet away she says Yeah, it's too big to be that calendar stop watch they make... what's that one called again?. I'm thinking 'how the hell does this chick know about a 3970?'. Why the interest in watches baby?, says an uncomfortable HRC. I can sort men by their watches and shoes says the expert. Rolex guys are all flash, avera
