Announcing The Speakers List For The 2015 HODINKEE Collectors Summit
Two weeks ago, we announced a new project called the HODINKEE Collectors Summit. This completely private, off-the-record event is something totally different for the watch world. The watch brands that typically underwrite the events you all attend will not be present. Nor will the folks that work for the brands. This day is about true collectors talking with one another, and learning from the absolute best independent minds in watches. The topics that will be covered are varied, but with a focus on knowledge sharing to ensure that this information lives on with a new set of enthusiasts. The response to this special project has been overwhelming (you can still request tickets here), and today we are thrilled to announce the speakers list for the 2015 HCS. If you're a watch guy, get ready, because this will blow you away. 1 OF 1 Predictions For Future Gainers And Decliners In The Vintage Watch World ¨C Mr. Aurel Bacs To say that Aurel Bacs understands vint

Store your vintage electric watches ??
Hi,I have a vintage accutron that I would like to keep for many years. It is in my little showcase by now, but I do not wear it. So should I take out the battery? If so, would the watch dry out faster because it is not running? Should I let the battery in and change it every two years? What would be my best option?I collected many accutron with the years, but the fact that they are so fragile made me step back. I sold all of them, but I kept my favorite and I can't sell this last one. It's the one made out of wood.Here is my WOODY from 1973And this one shows the red wine color of the dial under direct sun light

Anyone have any info about the 14790?
Hey guys,Wish you guys a pleasant day!Long story short for you guys; I have always been a fan of the Royal Oak(the bracelet is truly a work of art), but never got myself to venture as they always wore too large on my wrists. I gave the 15300 and 15202 a good chance, tried them on many many times, but the protruding lugs just didnt allow the watch to hug my wrists, and it would bother me.Being primarily into vintage watches, I am somewhat drawn towards the 14790.It is definitely not very old, at 36MM I believe it should be a fantastic fit, and has a nice blue dial.My only worry is that there is barely any information about this reference online.I have noticed different variants with the audemars piguet written as a straight text evenly, and another variant where the Letters A and P in the audemars piguet are higher/larger fonts.I also am unable to track back through the case back number to what year the watch would be dated to.I would appreciate if anyone has any information at all to s
