Close-Up: Breguet Classique 5717 Hora Mundi
The #breguet Classique Hora Mundi, in simple terms, is the first example of a mechanical timepiece with an instant-jump time zone display. All of the displays jump between time zones with the push of a button. Once you see it, the concept is so intuitive, you wonder why it has not been done before. The Breguet Classique Hora Mundi is equipped with the 5717 self-winding mechanical movement, which is based on Caliber 777 with a silicon escapement, in this case fitted with an additional module. The dial displays hours, minutes and seconds via centrally-mounted hands. The date is at 12 o’clock, and the city or time zone indicator is at 6. A large sun/moon or day/night display rests between 3 and 4 o’clock.The instant-jump time zone feature with fully-synchronized displays is the showstopper. This is a world-first for a mechanical watch, and indeed this timepiece has generated four patent applications. Here’s how it works:From among the 24 available time zones, the wearer

Pronunciation
I've heard Breitling pronounced Breetling, Brightling, and Brateling.I've always said Breetling, but Brightling has a precedent in the name Einstein.Brateling has a precedent in words like weight.I know a former Air Force pilot who says Brightling, but doesn't own one and I know a service rep at my Honda dealer who says Brateling and actually owns one.What say ye?Well, I found this site that sounds like it knows how to pronounce everything, almost.It doesn't jibe with some other sites that didn't even jibe with themselves.So, take it for what its worth.brandspeaking/

Here's what I find strange about AP...
I'm now lucky enough to own my grail watch - the Royal Oak 15400 with blue dial, truly a fantastic piece which I can't stop looking at. However, although I have tremendous respect for AP, their history and what they stand for, there is no other AP watch that I really desire to own. The Offshore line especially I find ostentatious and often downright unpleasant in terms of design. It seems bizarre to me that the team of people that produce the elegant beauty of the RO can also produce some of those blingy Offshore monstrosities!Of course it's not quite as simple as that, I do love watches like the 15202, but I have a limited budget so it would make no sense to me to buy that when I already own the 15400. Similarly I admire the ROC, but I'm not a great chrono user so for me it really just reduces the desirable simplicity of the classic three hand RO.Rolex on the other hand is a brand I greatly admire, but don't really love (partly because of their often crass marketing, partly because of
