Artya Watches E-Commerce Store Now Open
Artya watches finally has released their online e-commerce store. The brand started by Yvan Arpa has been making polarizing art timepieces for a little while now. They have been talking the web shop for a while, and it has finally been launched. Why is this good? Well in addition to giving fans of their work a convenient place to not only buy and peruse their available items, but it helps people better understand what they do, and how their art keeps evolving.

The average price of Artya piece unique watches is about $4,000 - $7,000.

Eterna Madison Watch With New Calibre 3505 Spherodrive Movement
Leave it to a very ordinary watch to showcase some cool new technology. This is really interesting because most watch brands would just go nuts with a wildly designed watch and marketing to tell the world about even the slightest movement improvement. This is actually quite a cool thing from Eterna. You should also know that Eterna actually started the major watch movement maker ETA before it was later acquired by the Swatch Group.Here, the new technology is placed in the demure Eterna men's Madison watch. The new technology is called the Eterna Spherodrive and is a new type of mainspring barrel. That is the part of the mechanical watch the holds the mainspring, which is where all the power comes from. The mainspring is wound manually or via an automatic rotor. As the spring unwinds in a regulated manner, the power it released is used to power a mechanical watch. Every true mechanical watch that is out there uses some manner of main spring. As you can imagine, a mainspring is the heart

AP RO at clearwater and I chose a light polish
Hi everyone, I recently sent my AP RO for the pressure testing and 3rd year warranty. Upon inspection I was told the following:- case has small dents at 4 and 10 o'clock (purchased it preowned) - bezel shows minor scratches from normal wear- it appears case had been opened and there was debris in the movement. Based on conversations with Betsy, I decided to get a light polish as part of the service. I was told they will laser weld the dents on the case and clean out the movement at no charge. I decided to have the light polish since I'm having other things done and she said the watch will come back looking like new and I don't anticipate getting another polish on the watch for many years down the road. Needless to say, I can't wait to have it back. I definitely have to commend AP's Service representatives. They have been in constant contact with me and kept me informed throughout the entire process.I was wondering if anyone had pics of a recently lightly polished RO for reference. Tha
