SIHH: Lange¡¯s New Saxonia Thin
For 2011 Lange is redsigning the Saxonia family, and the new Saxonia Thin offers discrete luxury and classic elegance in a case that measures only 5.9mm thick. And at 40mm in diameter, the Saxonia Thin makes a stylish statement on the wrist.This is the thinnest timepiece crafted to date by the venerable Saxon manufactory. The strength of this piece is its focus on the essence of a watch: the time in hours and minutes, and nothing more. Yet despite this focus, the Saxonia Thin remains unmistakably A. Lange & S?hne. A few key details embody hallmarks of the brand: a well-balanced presentation, a succinct minute scale, svelte baton hour markers, and lancet hands blend harmoniously to inform all who see it of the deep roots behind this piece.To fit the thin case, A. Lange & S?hne developed an equally slim manually wound movement that can be admired through the sapphire-crystal caseback. The new caliber L093.1 has a diameter of 28 millimeters and is a mere 2.9 millimeters thick. The

Ariel Adams On BBC World Service Program "The Why Factor" To Talk Watches
I thought you might enjoy a recent spot I did on a great BBC World Service radio program called The Why Factor hosted by Mike Williams to help answer the question, "why are watches enduring status symbols?" It was an honor to be on the show, as I'm a longtime listener/watcher/reader of the BBC. Listen to "The Why Factor: Why Are Watches Enduring Status Symbols" on the BBC here.

Benarus Bronze Moray brief review/initial impressions
My Bronze Moray finally arrived today after approximately a 5 1/2 month wait. It is my first of the brand. The bronze models caught my eye at 3T and when Benarus opened up reservations for a second run of them, I jumped on board. I was interested in trying out the CuSn8 case, which slowly develops a vintage patina with regular use. This case material is being used in the newly released Panerai Luminor Sub, which goes for substantially more $.

The transaction went smoothly. He kept everyone up to date on progress either via email, 3T, or FB. I chose the most "sterile" option possible, with a dart marker dial and bland bezel. I never had a red dial watch, so I went with th

Challenge Question! Vintage Movado
Now here's a challenge for you. Does anyone know how to reassemble this vintage Movado Sport from the 40's? The problem is that the anti-magnetic/dust inner cover blocks you from screwing down the setting lever screw once the stem is re-inserted which is obvious, but the problem is it has a complete hole for the stem instead of just a slot. That means it covers the back of the movement when in place and the stem is secured in a complete hole as you can see in the photo. I don't want to cut it into a slot, but I can't think of a way to do it. I'm sure one of you experts out there have run into this before and will know. Any help much appreciated!DSC02274.jpg
