Grieb & Benzinger Presents Unique “Blue Whirlwind” Tourbillon Minute Repeater
The German watch firm Grieb & Benzinger, known for its one-of-a-kind skeletonized watches with intricate guilloch¨¦ embellishments, has released its latest, called Blue Whirlwind, a skeletonized tourbillon minute repeater based on a rare Patek Philippe caliber.At the heart of Grieb & Benzinger’s Blue Whirlwind is Patek Philippe’s Caliber RTO 27 PS, a rare, manual-winding movement with a tourbillon and minute repeater mechanism, which was famously used in the stainless-steel Patek Philippe Ref. 3939 donated to the 2011 Only Watch Auction. That watch was the top-selling lot in the entire auction, selling for 1.4 million euros. Here, this complicated movement has undergone more than 15 months of skeletonization and other painstakingly precise horological work. All the skeletonization and guilloch¨¦ treatment on the movement ¡ª with 336 components, it is one of the world’s most complicated ¡ª was done by hand.

Festina Profundo Dive Watch Comes In Bag Filled With Water
There is marketing and then there is brilliant marketing. Go shopping for watches and you may find yourself discovering a new goldfish bowl. The large Spanish watch group Festina (and brand of course) has recently started putting water-filled clear plastic bags on shelves with the newest versions of their Profudno dive watches in them.

While these watches aren't deep under water, the message here is that they can stay in water for apparently very long lengths of time and be perfectly OK to be removed from the bag and be put on your wrist. It helps that the bags are filled with distilled water. What I like is that the retail packaging totally sells the concept of the watch. Nothing is said on the front exc

A project taking much time - Subscription to Special Project's Watches Open
A while ago I told our fellow member Emerson (eaea) who is also administrator of the Oris forum about the project we are currently having in the final stages about watches with gold or gold plated cases.The administrators Emerson (eaea) and Scott D had approached me about posting some information on my project of watches sporting a gold case. And John gave his ok to post a very special idea about a watch subscription here in the General Forum. Thank you all for your support.Well, the project started nearly three years ago when I was approached by a fashion company and asked to design three special watches with dials with Armenian scripture. I started diving into the topic and the more I read about Armenia and talked to people about their region the more I took a liking to the project.Early on in the project I decided to name the watches after three beautiful lakes in Armenia. The Lake Arpi, the Lake Lessing and the Lake Sevan. I was enthralled by the blissful pictures I saw of these la
