MB&F Brings Kinetic Art By Bob Potts To Its M.A.D. Gallery In Geneva
Watches, especially the high-end, more animated ones are often referred to as "kinetic art." This time, however, with the aid of?MB&F,? we are taking a step away from timepieces to appreciate the beautifully animated statues of an American gentleman called Bob Potts. We have long known the so-called M.A.D. Gallery of MB&F to feature?exceptional artists, working in greatly different fields from building unique motorcycles to amazing guitars. And while each of those were astonishing in their own right, we feel the moving hand-crafted objects of Potts are what make our horologically inclined hearts beat faster; so let's take a closer?look at some of the pieces that will be on display at the Gallery until October.[vimeo 93151146 w=730 h=411]As Bob puts it: "My work is the manifestation of ideas that come to me from the natural world." And while there are exceptions, like this incredible?ancient ship called the Cosmographic Voyager with 18 simultaneously moving rowers, it is true th

For 2014, the Royal Oak Concept watch by Audemars Piguet makes a return. Originally released in 2002, the Royal Oak Concept was penned as an ultra-modern version of the Royal Oak on the 30th Anniversary of the famed Gerald Genta-designed luxury sport watch. watches-dealer covered the last version of the?Royal Oak Concept GMT Tourbillon in 2011 here. The 2014 version is more "summery" than any of the previous models, featuring a titanium case and light white ceramic (for the bezel, crown, pusher, and hourglass-shaped structure on the movement). Inside the watch is the revised original movement with the new Audemars Piguet caliber 2930. The case is 44mm wide but wears quite large due to the large lug structures.In addition to the modern design, the Royal Oak Concept GMT Tourbillon has some interesting features. There is, of course the tourbillon to the left, and to the right is a GMT disc offering a second time zone. The movement has a long power reserve of 10 days between two barrels. A

Trade new black SMP Ceramic for LNIB Deville "Power Reserve"
Hi, I am in a right pickle over this decision I have a new (about 2 weeks old) SMP Ceramic in black.I have been offered a one year old, LNIB (still stickered up) Deville "Power Reserve" white dial on strap in trade for my SMP +?70 cash from me.I used to own a Deville PR and sold it, bought it back and then sold it again However I have always regretted it and thought I'd never get the opportunity to get another in new condition since they were discontinued last year at which point theyir RRP was around ?3,000+ gbp.The SMP Ceramic RRP is ?2,700 gbp.I do very much like my SMP Ceramic but am considering the trade for these reasons...1/ I love the Deville and think it a "Classic" piece that will never look tired or dated.2/ I regret selling it (twice!)3/ The Deville is hard to find, especially in this condition and so new.4/ The SMP Ceramic is a new model and could be sourced again for many years should I ever want one.However, despite all that my question/s to the forum is/are simple..."Am

New Omegas
I was in the Omega boutique last week and got a chance to handle the new Planet Ocean GMT. It was a very beautiful watch in person, waaaay better than the pictures. I didn't expect to see it but the orange on the bezel caught my eye so I asked to hold it. I must say the orange bezel looks a lot better in person and the orange hand is painted the same as the orange material of the orange numbers of the POs, so it's very brilliant and beautiful.The bezel turns both ways and the black date wheel which looks incredibly odd and stands out in close up pictures of the dial looks just fine. It has a look as to sort of simulate that the white numbers kind of pop out from a shaded background. It didn't bother me at all the way it does in internet photos.Now that Basel is history we see that it's available in all the normal colors also, this watch will be pretty hot also.The biggest turn off for me is the thickness, still too thick. If it were my only big watch then I wouldn't mind, but having to
