Zenith Honors Watchmaker’s Milestones With Limited Edition Watch
On November 30, Zenith celebrated a famous caliber and the 100th birthday of the watchmaker who created it. Ephrem Jobin was the brains and hands behind Caliber 135. Introduced in 1948 at the height of a battle to achieve increased precision fought among several watch manufacturers, Caliber 135 included several innovative technical features that enabled it to win numerous prestigious awards and prizes, including an unprecedented 5 consecutive Neuchatel Observatory chronometry prizes from 1950 to 1954. In all, the movement garnered about 200 honors, two-thirds of which were first prizes. Ephrem Jobin with Zenith CEO Jean-Fr¨¦d¨¦ric Dufour and Zenith watchmakersBorn in 1909 and likely the world’s oldest living watchmaker, Ephrem Jobin played a variety of roles in Zenith’s development. During his tenure from 1939 to 1954, he developed three complete calibers, including the 135. In 1946 he was commissioned to invent a 30mm caliber capable of meeting the requirements for the Neuch

Hublot La Cl¨¦ Du Temps Watch, For Time Control Freaks
Pretty wild right? This is the new version of the La Clef du Temps watch. From "La Clef" to "La Cl¨¦," funny enough they both mean "the key of time." The original La Clef du Temps was never originally meant to be an Hublot watch. It was designed for the Confrerie Horlogere under BNB Concept before it went bankrupt. When Hublot bought up the Confrerie and Mathias Buttet, it got the La Clef du Temps with it. I wasn't really too enthused on that watch - writing about the La Clef du Temps here. I later learned that Mathias designed it with the Predator in mind, and the dial was meant to look like a brain.Now the weird movement that is able to speed up and slow down time is back in a new watch called the La Cle du Temps - and it is part of the Hublot Confrerie (a division of exclusive, very high-end Hublot watches). It is in a brand new case to hold the movement (which is a reworked version of the one from a couple of years ago). The watch is now much more futuristic and feels more in line w

Ulysse Nardin - Show yours!
I've been a lurker here for a while and finally decided to join in the fun.I was a collector of mostly Russian watches but then my tasted turned so here I am.I just purchased my first "quality" watch and absolutely love it. The watch is a Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Chronometer. I spent several weeks looking at different watches and Ulysse's have really caught my eye. I think with the rubber strap they have the fun and business look to them.Here's mine:I'm starting to save up for another Ulysse Nardin watch I might be hooked...

Omega Hospitality Club?
Hi all - I recently spent a very enjoyable hour and a half at the local Omega boutique looking at a variety of Speedmasters. I really had a blast and was impressed by the knowledge and kindness displayed by the staff there. I do have a question about the Omega Hospitality Club I was told about. The gentleman mentioned some vague benefits to purchasing a watch from the boutique, from early screenings of James Bond films to wine tastings. My question is do you guys know any more about the Hospitality Club? What exactly is it? I know it's mentioned to make paying full retail more attractive to the consumer, but I was pretty unclear on what it actually included. Thanks in advance!

Some help needed
Hello, I apologize for yet another nautilus thread, but I really need some help from you guys. I live in a country with one Patek AD only (sells Patek only), my name has been on the waiting list for both 5711 and 5712 for more than 2 years and it seems like it will take another 5 years or more as they keep telling me they received none and the list has more than 50 names... I called all of the Patek ADs in Europe out of which only 8 accepted to take my name and I felt that they were not taking me seriously. Keep in mind that I told every AD I spoke to that I am willing to pay a deposit immediately. My name is on the waiting list at the London Salon and they said the wait is 8 to 9 year. I also have my name at the Geneva Salon with waiting time of 5 to 6 years.I do understand the whole Patek approach regarding steel watches and the Nautilus specifically but at the same time I don¡¯t understand how this watch is highly available in the grey market. Almost everyday I see on instagram/faceb
