Antoine Martin Tourbillon Astronomique Watch Is $565,000
Antoine Martin has rightfully earned itself a special place in the heart of hardcore watch enthusiasts with their Slow Runner piece and its huge, gracefully oscillating balance wheel exposed at the caseback. But there is another side to the brand, one that offers more traditional complications, re-interpreted to fit into the rather well-defined styling cues of the brand. In 2012, Ariel went hands-on with their perpetual calendar and tourbillon model, and today we are debuting the Tourbillon Astronomique, a watch they also refer to as their "Masterpiece No. 1". Now, that is a name that we find rather fitting for what is an incredibly complicated piece that fuses more traditional features with a number of unique astronomical indications.Looking at the list of features and the actual dial of the Tourbillon Astronomique, it gives the impression of a watch that was intended to be complicated in the first place, but then somehow morphed into a watch maker's wet dream, comprising an array of

The Tubogas bracelet, created by Bulgari¡¯s major specialists in the 1950s
The Tubogas bracelet, created by Bulgari's major specialists in the 1950s, is still a true standout. A testament to the skills of the brand's craftsmen, it wraps itself voluptuously around a feminine wrist, representing a natural continuation of the watch case. Wrapped once around the lady's wrist, the length of the gold pink strands constitutes 5 meters. The double Serpenti, meanwhile, measures 10 meters. The bracelets have been manufactured applying a great number of preparatory and moulding processes, representing a closely guarded secret of the house.

painted or not
Hi, I am looking to purchase a mens Gucci 4200. The hours are engraved in roman numerals into the bezel. From all photos of this watch it looks like the numerals are painted in black although it may well be shadowing. Does onyone have this watch who can please confirm one way or the other. Thanks.

Bought on a lark...
Just for grins, I put in the minimum bid for a new one of these on ebay:I'd debated between the Hamilton Jazzmaster Tonneau and Jazzmaster Open Heart, and ended up with the Tonneau. So, I figured if I could win the above for the minimum bid, it would fill the slot of the Open Heart.The best part? The minimum bid, which ended up being the winning bid, was $125.00. Maybe not the deal of the century, but I certainly think it is at least a GOOD deal!I think when I was looking at the Open Heart, someone suggested this Bulova - to whoever that was, a belated thank you!Forgot to mention - even though it's an automatic, I won't feel the need to get another winder for it. It has no date, so if it stops running, I won't have to reset the date or make sure it's set in the a.m. or p.m.! I can treat it like I do my vintage watches with no date that are NOT automatic.

According to info I found on the web:Irish novelist James Joyce wore five wristwatches on his arm.
