In-Depth: The Girard-Perregaux Constant (Force) Escapement, Explained
What is a constant force escapement, anyway? That's a question we've been getting A LOT recently. You see, the term is thrown around often in this day and age, and rarely is it an accurate description of what is going on. But, a few weeks back, Girard-Perregaux invited us over to Switzerland to see what they believe to be one of the first true constant force escapements to be unveiled, by anyone. And we tend to agree. In this post, we'll run you through GP's new "Constant Escapement," how it works, and why it's important. First things first, watch the video above, then read on. What's An Escapement? 1 OF 9 Animation courtesy of Wikipedia.org Before we get into what a constant force escapement is, it's important to understand what an escapement is in the traditional sense of the term.

As much as I like this place
I think (let me rephrase that: "I know") that sometimes I spend too much time here.....But it is so darn tempting as I have my PC in front of my practically the whole day.It's not like I am some dork that does not have a life or friends...I just have this WISsickness and I enjoy the camaraderie and friendly atmosphere here too much, I guess.Believe or not, one of my New Year's resolutions was to spend less time onwatch forums and do something more constructive with my time - like reading a good book,going to the gym, being more productive at work etc.......well, in case you want to know....thus far - I am failing MISERABLY Anyone else with a similar problem? Don't be shy - raise your hand ;)

Show me your Watch Trilogy (that's less then $25k)
Earlier last year, I ended up purchasing the Omega 1957 Trilogy Set but soon realized the Speedmaster was the only watch I connected with from that series. I ended up selling the Omega Trilogy Set and purchased the watches below (Explorer I 214270 Full Lume, SD4K and 60th anniversary Speedmaster). So it got me thinking what a good trilogy set would be that covered all my needs at that $25k price point. I think I finally found my three but curious as to what others have or would recommend at that particular price point. Pics are appreciated!
