It was “patterned” after the Swiss made Meylan 0-sized movement sometime during late 1907 or early 1908 and the first 297 chatelaine examples were shipped to wholesalers in May and June, 1909.

Greetings All
Greetings all. I'm fairly new to the watch collecting world, having had a Tag Aquaracer for many years that I finally grew tired of and sold recently. I've used the proceeds to actually start a collection of more moderately priced watches (after 7 years or so with the same watch, I wanted a little variety). I'm 34, live in Atlanta with my fiancee, two cats, and a Great Dane, and a baby on the way (hence no Rolex's, Seamasters, or Cartiers [should anyone feel so inclined, I would not refuse a donated Pasha]).Today I accompanied my brother to buy HIS first real watch, an automatic Tag Aquaracer in black. Very nice. While I was there, I couldn't resist the 70% off price tag of a rather sharp Officina Del Tempo. Picked it up for $150 and also picked up my Movado Eliro from the shop.With the arrival of my Black Monster on Tuesday of next week, my watch collection will be complete. Love to hear your thoughts!#1 Movado Eliro. I really am not a huge fan of Movados, but this watch has attracted

AP Bracelet
In my eyes without doubt the most beautiful watch bracelet out there

$700 service for a quartz?
I took my Chrono sextant (quartz movement) to my local watch shot for a full service and they told me the watch was very complicated and it would cost $700 for the full service. My Rolex with automatic movement service from the same shop was $500. Does that seem high to anyone else?
