Why SIHH 2016 Watch Trade Show Grows To 24 Participating Brands Including Major Independent Watchmakers
"Carr¨¦ des Horlogers" is going to be the new buzzword for those in the watch industry early in 2016, as the new iteration of the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) makes a major move to incorporate nine fresh names into their roster of luxury watch makers. Up until now, SIHH has included mostly brands that exist under the aegis of The Richemont Group. Why did this happen? What does this mean for the watch industry, and is it good news for consumers?The politics and economics behind this situation are actually relatively complicated, but I am pleased with the Foundation de la Haute Horlogerie's ("FHH," a third-party entity set up mostly by Richemont to organize SIHH among other things) decision to bring nine small but important independent watch companies under their umbrella of exhibitors. In many ways, I feel that this is a positive sign of mutual effort and solidarity in the Swiss watch industry - a practice that has actually been a key component of their success for g

Jumped right in; now I want to know if I keep what I have or sell and start over?
I became interested in mechanical watches about five months ago. Have slowly learned a few things, but mostly jumped right in and with a somewhat limited disposable budget, started buying watches that "seemed" like good deals on Ebay.All are new. I have 5-Citizen Eco-drives, 4-Invicta Pro Divers, 1-Invicta Speedway II, 2-Seiko automatic 21 -jewel, 1-Citizen Eagle automatic 21-jewel, and a few really cheap watches like my first, an AK Homme auto because it "looked nice" for around $30. Which is amazingly accurate for a $30.00 mechanical watch. Regardless, are any of these worth keeping? I have been thinking in my limited purchase range, that vintage Tissot or Omegas are the way to start, seeing them on Ebay often selling for as little as $100-$150 sometimes. Suggestions?

Some basic information on the Elgin 760/761 American made automatic movements
This isn't any original research on my part and I just happened to come across them while trying to find some information on the Lord Elgins with the 760 movements (plus, I think I followed some links from Genejockey's Elgin blog as well). Some of this may well have been posted, but for those who haven't seen it, it might well be enlightening. I'll just post a bit from each page and then link them.[ELGIN] Forgotten Masterpieces: The Last ElginsThe American Automatics:Along with the 607 and 618, the Elgin 760 and 761 have the sad honor of being the only American made automatic movements. Even as they were being developed, other American companies were giving in to the Swiss dominance of the market. Hamilton adopted Swiss ebauches for its automatics; Waltham had tried that, but had already gone out of business in 1957, as Elgin audaciously pressed on.As a completely independent design, these movements offer a number of innovations not seen at their time. They provided bi-directional, f
