Graham Geo.Graham The Moon Watch
A sky-style dial in deep blue and 18k pink gold is a very pretty thing in this new Geo.Graham The Moon watch by Graham. "Geo" stands for "George" who is the Graham guy that the brand is named after. George Graham was a British watch and clock maker from the 17th century. Even as the brand of today is totally Swiss, they still like to celebrate the English heritage of their namesake.This new timepiece is a lovely limited edition and quite high-end for Graham. Only 10 or 20 pieces will be produced (the press release and technical specs seem to disagree on the point of how many will be made), but its stunning design is certainly worth talking about. The watch begins with an impressively sized 46mm wide case (which is actually not large at all given the brand's Swordfish and Chronofighter collection of watches) in 18k pink gold. There is a blue sapphire cabochon in the crown - a not uncommon feature in watches but I always appreciate them. It also goes along nicely with the blue theme.The

Hands-On: With The Blancpain Tourbillon Carrousel, A Combination Of Two Rotating Complications (Live Pics & Pricing)
This year is the 60th anniversary of Blancpain's legendary Fifty Fathoms dive watch collection, but at Basel World we caught sight of something completely different from the brand. The Collection Le Brassus Tourbillon Carrousel takes the aesthetic of the Villeret collection and adds two rotating escapements, a tourbillon at 12 o'clock and a carrousel at 6 o'clock. Not only is the watch captivating to look at, but it also gets more and more fascinating as you begin to notice all the little things that make it exceptional. 2 OF 25 Closer Look At The Blancpain Tourbillon Carrousel First off, it's important to understand what exactly separates a tourbillon from a carrousel, since they can look very similar to the naked eye. A tourbillon uses one source of power to both move the balance wheel and rotate the cage, while a carrousel uses two sources of power, one for the escapement itself and a second to regulate the rotation of the enclosure. These are two

Life Magazine Article on the death of a Radium Girl/Watch dial painter
I was furiously looking through Google's stash of Life magazines from the late 40's through the mid 50's for Elgin ads and came across this article (Dec 17, 1951)

Anyone have some new Omega PO 8500 and 2500 comparison shots of the case, etc?
Had a 45.5 mm PO and loves the thickness of the case. Fit very well on my 7 inch wrists. I am looking to buy a 42mm 8500 PO quite soon, but I never actually held the watch in person or have even seen it in person.The closest dealer to me is about 2 and a half hours from me and I just have not had the time to reach out to them yet. (Omega Boutique).Now I am hearing that the new 8500 has a thicker case profile, which I can spot immediately in pictures. But how much thicker? Any comparison shots would be outstandingly appreciated!

I do miss those good ole days..
I sure do miss this classic JLC driven 45mm (perfect size) Pam 190 with ABP strap - what a combo!
