Romain Jerome Titanic DNA Ch¨¦ca Is Melty Face Watch
I do applaud Romain Jerome for being so ballsy and avant garde. They have made some nice one-off or limited edition pieces that spit in the face of fellow Swiss who are highly conservative most of the time - especially in terms of watch design. Actually, even Romain Jerome's non limited edition watches are "special." Love them or hate them you have to appreciate their niche and determination to be different.? However, that doesn't mean I have to love everything they make. This new special "art" watch by French artist Andr¨¦ Ch¨¦ca is a bit much for me. It is one of those things that I freely admit not liking, but appreciate the artistic endeavors behind it, and that it exists. As though I wouldn't get pissed about it being in a museum ("That isn't art, I could do that!"), but I would openly discuss my distaste for it ("My lord this piece tickles the vomit enticing regions of my gullet").According to Ch¨¦ca, the watch is meant to appear like the "tortured" pieces of metal that lay thousand

My AT w/2500c stopped running
I wanted an Aqua Terra ever since they first came out, and at the end of July I finally purchased one, albeit used. I went with used because I only wanted the older style in mid-size and this has become very hard to find still in AD stock. Long story short, I begrudgingly bought it at Tourneau because it was the only place that had one after many, many calls around to dealers and months of searching forums for the one I wanted (silver dial). Tonight I was out taking my usual evening walk with my daughter when I looked down to check the time and my AT was stopped cold. I thought this was odd since I had been wearing it all day at work (office environment, not hard on watch) and it was running just fine when we started off on our walk. Took it off, wound it by hand several times, gently shook it, tapped case, etc. Nothing. Totally bizarre, and unlinke anything I've ever experienced with a mechanical watch whether new or 50+ years old. My SMP has run perfect since day one when I got it 6
