An Icon Revisited: Movado Museum Classic
Movado, which made headlines last year with its release of a new series of smartwatches, returns to the iconic watch design that put the brand on the map back in the mid-20th century. Here’s what you need to know about the Movado Museum Classic.Aficionados of horological history are aware of how Movado’s now-iconic Museum Watch and its instantly recognizable dial design came to be, but for those who are not, here’s the story in a nutshell. American industrial designer Nathan George Horwitt (1898-1990) came up with the idea of a simple black dial with no numbers or indices, and only a single gold dot at the 12 o’clock position, in 1946. The dot, according to Horwitt, was meant to symbolize the sun at high noon, an essential element in early timekeeping. The design was adopted for a watch dial in 1947 (a watch actually produced by Vacheron Constantin, then known as Vacheron & Constantin, and Jaeger-LeCoultre, with Movado beginning series production of the mode

Interview: The Shockingly Thin Piaget Altiplano Chronograph Explained By Piaget CEO Philippe Leopold-Metzger (VIDEO)
The chronograph is a decidedly difficult complication to produce – that much we know. After all, up until about 15 years ago there were less than a handful of manually wound chronographs in existence. Another great tenet of watchmaking is that of the ultra-thin movement, a specialty practically owned these days but nobody but Piaget. It was last December that we caught a glimpse of a truly extraordinary timepiece – the Piaget Alitplano Chronograph – a manually wound, in-house chronograph with fly-back mechanism and GMT function that was only 8.24 mm thick. As of today, this incredible watch is in stores, and we thought it was worth revisiting this incredible piece by allowing Philippe Leopold-Metzger, Piaget's global CEO, to explain it to you. 1 OF 3 2 OF 33 OF 3 The Piaget Altiplano Chronograph is currently in stores (as of this week) for $28,600.

First time shopping for watches in public!
Today, I had the big idea of going to the antique mall with my mom. I've never been here but it has been there for probably 20 years. It didn't dawn on me that I could shop there for watches until a few months ago and I just now worked up the courage to go! I found some VERY cool stuff, and looking through old stuff is one of my favorite things in the world. They had some really nice stuff in locked cabinets, a few Gruen Curvex watches, and some really amazing pocket watches. I was just so happy to go there, I looked up and down and found some really cool ones that I will definitely need help with.I got 3 Bulova watches, and 1 Elgin. It was funny to me, that I've never had either in my collection (one Bulova that never worked), and now I've got a 3 Bulovas, but there are two that are the real show stoppers. I'm hoping I can learn more about it from our experts here, as most of my research and time goes into Gruen, and Illinois. I would kill for another Bulova dial for the one, it is aw
