Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin Launch New AMVOX7 Chronograph
In 2005, Swiss watch brand Jaeger-LeCoultre joined with British car maker Aston Martin to produce the first AMVOX, ushering in JLC’s line of “vertical trigger” chronograph wristwatches. This year, the luxury brands join forces once more on the AMVOX7, the first model with a radial power-reserve display.The AMVOX7 Chronograph, which commemorates the eighth anniversary of the partnership between Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin, features a new, more ergonomically designed case and modifications to the crown, lugs and strap that are also meant to ensure optimum wearer comfort.Like the first AMVOX watch and all the others that followed it, the AMVOX7 has as its signature feature a chronograph mechanism that is operated not by side-mounted push-buttons but by simply pressing on the watch’s crystal. Pressing the top of the crystal near 12 0’clock starts and stops the chronograph, while pressing on the lower half of the glass resets it to zero. A trigger located

The Future Of Porsche Design Watches And The Timepiece No. 1
Porsche Design Timepiece No. 1 WatchThe picture above is an early drawing of what will be the Porsche Design Timepiece No. 1, the first watch actually officially made by Porsche Design as we understand it. Porsche Design has been involved in watchmaking since 1972, and has worked with a range of different watch companies to produce its watch designs. These have included brands such as Orfina, IWC, and Eterna over the years, but a new era of in-house production will come to Porsche Design soon.Earlier in 2014, Porsche Design ended its longstanding relationship with Swiss Eterna watches to produce timepieces for the Stuttgart-based German company. The precise reason for the termination of the relationship remains unclear?but I theorized that it may have had something to do with Eterna's purchase by the Chinese company China Haidian. After the purchase, Eterna's CEO Patrick Kury also stepped down and it was unclear what the future of both companies would be like.Several months ago I spoke

Orient Star WZ0251FD - another question
I am planning on having my Orient Star WZ0251FD calibrated to keep better time (right now it's losing about 20-30 seconds per day). My question is, it is my understanding that this watch employs some type of specialized inner casing to handle it's 300m diving capability without the use of a release valve, and that due to this, Orient recommends that only they work on these watches to ensure that it is taken apart and put back together properly so that this feature is not breached. Is this accurate? I don't want to send it all the way to Japan just to have it calibrated. Any tips on having done locally, such as...should I try and find a certain type of watchmaker to do it, and is there anything specific I should tell him/her about the watch to make sure they properly disassemble and reassemble it to factory specs? The manual is in Japanese so any pertinent info in there won't help them.
