Photo Gallery: Touring the Luxury Booths of SIHH 2014
The Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH), which took place last week in Geneva, is probably the world’s most exclusive international watch fair, with an invitation-only guest list. As we did last year, WatchTime wanted to give our readers and diehard watch fans a peek inside those hallowed halls of horology, courtesy of these exclusive photos by our own Mike Disher.

Customized Vacheron Constantin Quai de l'Ile Collection Makes Me Sigh With Despair At The Sheer Pointlessness Of Message Behind This Watch
Do you recall thinking how dumb it was to combine a toaster oven and a radio? Perhaps it could have some conceivable space saving use; but really, What is the point? To prove it can be done? If you haven't heard of concept, it stems from the idea of unnecessary convergence products. You see combinations of products like this all the time, and sometimes they make more sense than others. Other times however, the whole idea is so repugnant both visually and in execution, that it just makes you upset. Not upset at the idea itself, that is all fun and games, but combining X and Y would be cool! Rather, what is disturbing is the notion that a dedicated group of otherwise intelligent people sat down for months designing, engineering, and executing a monstrosity. Having said that, the following is my perception and opinion of the new Vacheron Constanin Quai de l'Ile collection, which follows this theme.It is important to state that for the most part, I really like Vacheron Constantin as a bran

A visit to the Patek Salon and some interesting tid-bits
Hi everyone, thought I might share my experience of today's visit to PP's Salon at Tiffany in NYC. As some of you may know I'm trying to decide between the 5146G and J. The Salon had both, I'm happy to report, and I was able to spend some quality time with both of them. I proudly wore my 5130G which served as a very adequate carte de visite and got along like a house on fire with the very amiable and knowledgeable sales person. I DID NOT KNOW that Tiffany's PPs were branded as such on the dial (of course they are! you are probably saying). Now I like to think I have an incredible eye for detail; however, it is so subtly done that I missed it until told that it was there. I was also told that the complications now have it too thanks to the lobbying of T&CO (et al). Furthermore, in trying to decide to between the two I asked if there was any difference in the hardness of the J vs. the G. I assumed that because the G is plated with rhodium it would be harder. Coated with rhod

Thoughts on the new strap?
Hello everyone here at TRF! Admittedly I tend to be somewhat of a strap addict. I find that something as simple as a strap change can leave you feeling like you have a brand new watch on your wrist. Well this weekend my new strap arrived that I had custom made for my 5960. This strap is more casual and more beefy than the OEM strap that came with it. That said, the extra dimensions of the thicker leather add balance to the heavy platinum and makes it feel more secure in the wrist. Additionally, the lighter tan color seems a perfect choice for the summer months. Plus, it now has a little more casual aura to it which makes it feel right at home while wearing shorts/polo shirt or even jeans.I suspect I may get the thumbs down by the purists among us. And part of me wouldn't disagree with the criticism. That said, I am enjoying the look so far and find it to be a nice change that illustrates how versatile the 5960 really is.So, your thoughts please......ImageUploadedByTapatalk1431
