Ulysse Nardin Announces New Proprietary Silicon Anchor Escapement
Creating a proprietary escapement is perhaps the ultimate challenge for all watchmakers, regardless of whether we are speaking about a craftsman working alone or about an entire company producing thousands or hundreds of thousands of watches. The escapement is the arrangement of components responsible for transferring the energy coming from the mainspring barrel through the going train (the series of wheels linked to the mainspring barrel) onto the balance wheel.In other words, the escapement plays a major role in dividing each "beat" into equal doses, as every "tick" of the escapement releases only a small amount of energy from the mainspring. Ulysse Nardin?has? announced a new escapement design - a hugely impressive achievement that greatly relies on the company's extensive know-how in crafting silicon.[youtube youtubewatches-dealer/watch?v=Nu5Xe51Q_oE]Before we discuss this new design which the brand likes to refer to as a "flying anchor escapement," we should first obtain a better

I found a BNIB 5130P and couldn't be happier. Many thanks to those who offered advice and answered many of my questions. Picture taken at HSWA - wonderful people, great service, and an overall pleasant experience.

Settling back into Panerai!
It's been some time since I've had a Panerai in the stable, now over the course of two weeks I have two! The first piece I acquired is the 438. I've always loved the look of the fully blacked out case and bracelet, and being constructed from ceramic, will hold its finish and look great for a long time to come! Fast forward to today, the most recent acquisition, the 368! This piece blew me away when I first held it in my hands! 8 day manual wind lefty, with PR indicator on the back and the brown dial with gold hands really sets this model off. The strap it came on is thick and rugged, yet soft and form fitting. Very comfortable, and along with the titanium case makes this a very wearable piece. The 368 is rapidly becoming my favorite Panerai! The domed sapphire is beautiful! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
