Chicago is the first city chosen, and will represent the new Parmigiani Tonda M¨¦trographe Abyss Blue (shown). Three more yet-to-be-announced models will follow.The Parmigiani Tonda M¨¦trographe Abyss Blue features a distinctive, blue-colored dial, which requires the careful skill of the brand¡¯s master dial maker to create.To create this special shade of blue is no easy task.

BASELWORLD 2011 - New Model - Patek Philippe 5073 P - Minute Repeater
Patek Philippe Ref. 5073The minute repeater with a perpetual calendar and 158 baguette diamonds totaling 5.27 ct. unites horological excellence with the pinnacle of the jeweler¡¯s art.Patek Philippe ranks among the few manufactures that consummately master the orchestration of ¡°cathedral¡± gongs ¨C extra-long gongs which produce an inimitably voluminous and reverberant sound. Its latest minute repeater, the Ref. 5073 with cathedral gongs and a perpetual calendar, leaves connoisseurs speechless: not only due to its breathtaking sound quality, but also given the 103 baguette diamonds on its bezel and 55 further diamonds on the dial and clasp.Patek Philippe strikes the right chordThe minute repeater is considered to be the queen of the so-called Grand Complications.

Picked up a Lord Elgin, case 7683

The case is 14k gold filled and the movement is the 23 jewel 750 caliber adjusted to 6 positions.The case is in great shape, with no brassing. There is wear from the metal bracelet it came with inside the lugs, thus I put it on a Kelaran lizard band to stop any future d
