Vintage Breguet Timepieces On Display at New York’s Frick Collection (Video)
New York City’s Frick Collection, the art museum founded by Henry Clay Frick, is hosting an exhibition of historic timepieces, sponsored by luxury watch brand Montres Breguet and featuring several clocks and pocketwatches created by its namesake, legendary horologist Abraham-Louis Breguet and his son Antoine-Louis Breguet.The exhibit, titled “Precision and Splendor: Clocks and Watches at the Frick Collection” opened on January 23 in the museum’s Portico Gallery. Curated by Charlotte Vignon, associate curator of decorative arts at the Frick Collection, it features 11 clocks and 14 watches from the bequest of noted timepiece collector Winthrop Kellogg Edey, as well as five clocks lent by another collector, Horace Brock Wood. (The latter five have never before been seen in New York City.)

Is There "One" Thing??
Is there one thing, about a watch that you otherwise really like, that keeps you from buying it?My example:I really like the Invicta Ocean Ghost. It's a good looking watch; nice and big, the way I like my watches. Made of steel. I like that. A real good looking, affordable watch:Yep, good lookin', right until I see the crown:I think that piece of yellow and black plastic makes an otherwise really nice looking watch look cheap. It's the one single thing that will keep me from ever buying one. If it changes one day, and that hideous piece of plastic goes away, I'll buy one in a New York minute. 'Til then, though, I just can't do it.So, any brand, any feature. What bugs the bejeesus out of you to the point where you simply won't buy something??(Not my pictures above, by the way)

Watch Shops in St. Thomas
I will be in St. Thomas in a couple of weeks and I recall that there used to be some very good, reliable watch shops there. I was there many years ago (in the '70s) and I picked up aTissot diver that still works perfectly. Does anyone have any recommedations for reliable watch shops, with reasonable pricing there? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
