Rotonde de Cartier Astrotourbillon
At SIHH last week Cartier launched the new Rotonde de Cartier Astrotourbillon with their new manual winding movement, Caliber 9451 MC, designed and created by Cartier watchmakers. This unusual movement is the product of 5 years of development at the Cartier Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The Astrotourbillon’s carriage is driven by the third wheel of the gear train. The pinion of the escape wheel rotates around a fixed seconds-wheel (the fourth wheel of the gear train) in order to drive the escapement. The carriage has a special rotational axis, as it is positioned at the center of the movement. This requires a different gear-train design, from the two barrels of the movement through to the display of the minutes and hours. Another feature, responsible for the striking visual effect created by the movement, is that the balance staff and escape-wheel staff are not on the same rotational axis as the carriage. They are located to one side of the carriage, in linear alignment with

Is there a Benrus catalog?

Not on my watch
What do you avoid when buying a watch? For me: Roman numerals, gold/rose tone, square/rectangle cases, case size smaller than 38mm - larger than 45mm, any bling (gem stones, MOP). Straps and bracelets are not an issue since they are easily changable.

My next Rolex.......or Omega
Hi All - Having posted previous threads regarding my next Rolex selection I find the advice provided by the forum members to be extremely helpful.My search for my next watch has taken me to look at the current Rolex line up and already being an owner of a SubC and Milgauas I only really see the Explorer as an option. Another option I am considering is looking at the new Omega Seamaster 300 Master Coaxial or Aqua Terra and just wanted to get done views?Has anyone made a jump from Rolex to the new Omega range with the Master Coaxial movement and if so how do they compare in terms of quality?Also open to another other suggestions!Many thanks

Definition of a Grail watch?
This is probably obvious but honestly I feel like everyone's definition of grail watch is so different that sometimes it confuses me. Originally I thought grail watch is a watch that's just too expensive but then unless we are talking about those watches over say a million dollars and that are super limited in who can even buy them, most watches (especially those people sometimes call grail) are technically affordable as they are typically cheaper than a car or in the more extreme cases a house. They may not be something you want to spend the money on, but that's a choice.The other definition I was guessing was that it's a watch that one watch to rule them all in that once you get the grail watch, you are set for that watch for the rest of your life? If that's the case, then no one would be flipping grail watches.So what's your definition of a grail watch? What makes it your grail?
