Hermes Le Temps Suspendu Watch: Why Do You Suspend Time?
As Hermes fends off attacks from LVMH to retain its independence they also continue to push forward with their prowess as watch makers. For 2011 their horological focal point is the Arceau Le Temps Suspend" watch. That literally means "time suspended," and that is exactly what it does.The watch has been in development for a few years now. Mainly because they couldn't get it to work until they enlisted Mr. Fix-It Jean-Marc Wiederrecht. For me Jean-Marc will always primarily be one of the MB&F "Friends." The time suspended complication isn't that complicated to understand. The watch normally has the time with a retrograde date display. Press the pusher on the left side of the case and the hands jump to a rigid rabbit eared position.and just stop moving. Inside the watch, the movement still keeps track of the time, but you can't see it on the dial. Press the pusher again and the time returns to normal. Child's play.Wiederrecht assured me that the system was reliable and durable. Meani

So what is"Full Service" on a Watch??......Many people are getting ripp-off
So yesterday I was in the mall with my nephew, we stop at this jewlery to see some watches and some guy came with I believe was a Baume&Mercier and ask the guy working there "how much for full service in the watch" the salesman reply "is goin to cost around $200 and is goin to be ready like around 5pm" it was 10am!!!! full service on a watch is a process that takes several hours to complete. Has anyone else here had their movement serviced? Can you share with us what was included in the service? I found this in the Internet this is a list of all the things they done when they full service your watch* uncase movement, remove hands and dial.* disassemble movement down to the last screw.* clean all parts in ultrasonic and allow to dry (balance cleaned in One Dip or ultrasonic)* inspect all parts under 10x magnification for wear or damage.* reassemble movement. NOTE: additional charges if parts are needed.* properly lubricate per ETA oiling chart.* demagnetize using degausser.* regulat

Anybody gotten a "partial maintenance" from an Omega Service Center?
Hey all, I have a few Seamasters that are keeping good time but have an unknown service history. Full overhauls seem unnecessary and I was thinking of going the partial maintenance route for some peace of mind.Has anybody here gotten a partial service from an Omega Service Center, and if so how was your experience/wait time? The cost is significantly lower than a full overhaul, naturally:Thanks! And here's my ragtag band of Seamasters:
