Hydromechanical Horology: Inside the New HYT H1
One of the most talked-about timepieces of the 2012 Baselworld watch fair was the HYT H1, an unusual-looking watch that indicates the time by means of two liquids ¡ª one green, one clear ¡ª that flow through a tiny tube along a peripheral hours scale. WatchTime technical editor Mike Disher explores the technology behind the watch and its movement, and we provide wallpaper images, prices, and an informative video. Water clocks were the first complicated systems for measuring time. A millennium after they were invented, Confucius said that time flows away like the water in a river. The metaphor comparing flowing water to passing time is deeply ingrained in us. Lucien Vouillamoz recognized this, and in 2002 he proposed bringing the water clock into the 21st century and putting it on your wrist. Many ideas are more easily said than done, and this proved to be one of them.Over the next several years, the concept evolved into a system in which a small, flexible reservoir, or bellows, would be

Perfect Perfection (on the wrist) - 5135P
Well back home from the Tamp GTG this past weekend - a GREAT time as always seeing everyone.One of the gentleman had one of my absolute grails, the 5135 in platinum, on his wrist. He was extremely gracious and allowed me to get a few wrist shots. So here they are. What do you think? There's absolutely nothing I don't like about this watch. Platinum, gorgeous anthracite dial, a very subtle touch-of-bling with the 2 diamond markers, the perfect gray strap and it's a Patek. And most of all, it looks perfectly at home & content sitting on my wrist. Thanks again for allowing me a few minutes of wrist time with this absolutely stunning watch. One day one of these will have a permanent home on my wrist.

Yay - Christmas watch!!
A bit of background first. My wife put her foot down after my last purchase and insisted "no more watches!", "Sure," I replied, and then under my breath "this year!!" :DAnyhoo, Christmas is coming up and I have spoilt her a bit with a few gifts including 2 surprises, 1 big and 1 small (in monetary terms). She, however, does not know what to get me. So, eventually I suggest "well, what about a watch?" not expecting her to go for it. Well, she did!! So, it is ordered and the tracking says it is on its way ready to be wrapped and put under the tree!!I can't wait for Christmas day!!

Jus when I thought I will nvr buy an AP...
Well...I kept telling my friends I will nvr get a AP watch except I do like the safari but it wasn't that attractive for me to get it. I was looking for a PAM317 for the last couple of days but there was no stock so was surfing around until I saw this...stung by the poision and it flew deep into my bloodstream. I had no choice but to cure it...

Best two watch combo...
Hi All,My current watch collection includes the LV-C and BLNR. I had been contemplating adding a 3rd which included the SD43, TT Sub-C (blue) or D-blue. I was able to see a D-blue in person and have ruled that out since due to the bulk of the watch (though it¡¯s an amazing piece and the dial is super cool). I saw the TT blue today and it¡¯s a fantastic watch. The blue dial is amazing, though I¡¯ve never worn anything in yellow gold. My AD promised I¡¯m next on the SD43 list, though it remains a mystery when they will get one in. The question to you all is of the 4 watches mentioned, which 2 would you keep? I don¡¯t routinely travel within different time zones, so the GMT is not a necessary functionality for me. I do love the bracelets and glide lock feature on the Submariners. The pros/cons list are pretty equally distributed among the options, so hoping you all can add some additional insight or things I may not have considered.
