TAG Heuer to Increase Movement-Manufacturing at New Site in Jura
TAG Heuer has announced that it is doubling its mechanical-chronograph movement manufacturing capacity by building a new site in Chevenez, in the Swiss Canton of Jura, which will create 100 jobs and be operational by the end of 2013. The site will produce the in-house Caliber 1887 mechanical chronograph that was launched two years ago, plus a brand-new caliber that TAG Heuer is developing. Currently, all of TAG Heuer’s in-house movements are made by the company at its facility in La Chaux-de-Fonds and at Cortech in Cornol. TAG Heuer also buys Swiss mechanical movements from Sellita, ETA, Dubois-Depraz, Soprod and Zenith. The company cited the reduction in supply announced by ETA ¡ª supported by the Swiss Competition Committee COMCO, through its provisional measures ¡ª and the additional volumes needed to meet its growth targets as reasons for manufacturing more mechanical movements in-house. It will also seek to strengthen its cooperation with its other partners in Switzerland and

Carl F. Bucherer’s Patravi EvoTec DayDate Gets an Update
In 2008 Carl F. Bucherer achieved Manufacture status with the introduction of the CFB A1000 automatic winding movement with a peripheral rotor that combines the technical values of the central rotor with the visual advantages of the micro-rotor. The EvoTec DayDate is now available in a cushion-shaped case with a new steel bezel. Find wallpaper and pricing inside. Beyond the peripheral rotor, the CFB A1000 caliber offers several other technical advances. The patented rotor mounting is assisted by DLC-coated rollers which are themselves mounted on ball bearings. The DLC coating provides a hardness exceeding 2,00 Vickers, which makes it several times harder than steel, the customary material used. The system requires no lubrication. The ball bearing/roller assemblies are mounted on rocking bars. Special springs allow highly accurate positioning of the rollers, and eccentrics ensure precise adjustment of the bars. A Dynamic Shock Absorption system prevents the holds the rotor in check even

Just a thought...
I was on the Rolex section just now and read a post of a member brushing out the PCL's on his GMT, don't throw stones at me as I have no intention of doing it on my 5712 which is IMO absolute perfection but does anyone know someone who ever had the PCL's on Nautilus bracelet brushed out? Of course we are not taking into account the legendary wood chopping 5711 or 3700 don't remember which it is.I suppose it would look great, a little more sporty as the PCL's give them a dressy kind of look, if I had a very big collection I just might be tempted to do it on one of the Nautiluses I would have, anyways I won't have a big collection as I am much happier with 1 to 3 piece collection.If anyone has photos of a Nautilus with brushed PCL's would love to see it.
