SIHH Preview: Cartier Astror¨¦gulateur
Cartier’s in-house genius Carole Forestier takes a highly original approach to combating the effects of gravity on timekeeping. In a nutshell – quoting Cartier – “the escapement, the oscillator and the pendular seconds have been positioned on the rotor…”. Warning: trying to visualize an escapement mounted on a rotor may cause pain in the visual cortex. Let’s see how it was done…The Astror¨¦gulateur movement – Caliber 9800 MC – has been five years in the making and it is the object of four patent applications. The movement has been designed, developed, produced and assembled entirely within the Cartier Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds.Watchmakers have long studied means to compensate for the effects of gravity on the balance spring; the tourbillon is perhaps the best-known mechanical countermeasure. The tourbillon carriage revolves on its own axis, typically in one minute, averaging out the errors and so canceling variations in

Pierce Chronographs
I wore this vintage Pierce Chronograph today for the first time. I picked-up 3 of them last year, and now I have had 2 of them serviced. So far, it's exactly as I hoped and keeps terrific time. (The repair guy I located to do the work did a great job!) These photos were from the seller before service. It's now wearing a nice thick Artisanal brown alligator strap. It uses the Pierce 134 (13 ligne) movement.Please show 'em if you've got 'em. :)

Rolex Turn-o-graph
Hi All just joined the forum, I'm looking at getting the 116264 turn-o-graph as my first Rolex. I've been looking online and there seems to be no price stability with the prices between $4500-$6300 is this normal for Rolexs? And what would I expect a good price to be? I've been offered $5600, but this seems like a lot compared to what's on the market and sold listings. Last one is better to wait until January or are there still good deals in December. Cheers
