Jaeger-LeCoultre Launches New Rendez-Vous Ladies Watch with Diane Kruger
German actress Diane Kruger, known for her roles as Helen of Troy in 2004’s Troy and Bridget von Hammersmark in the 2009 Quentin Tarantino WWII film Inglorious Basterds, has been a brand ambassador for Swiss watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre since 2009, and now she serves as the inspiration for JLC’s new collection of ladies’ watches, called Rendez-Vous.Jaeger-LeCoultre, which was founded in 1833, has a long tradition of making watches for women, starting as early as the 1880s with the creation of LeCoultre Caliber 7Hp, one of the first round watch movements with an exceptionally small diameter, which was used in numerous enameled, diamond-set and pearl-beaded timepieces that ladies of the time wore around their neck. In the 19th century, when men still clung to pocketwatches, Jaeger-LeCoultre was among the watchmakers that created made-to-order wrist-borne timepieces, many of them bedecked with jewels, for the women who were the early adopters of that style.Diane Kruger we

Pre-Basel: New Maurice Lacroix Pontos Chronographe
Maurice Lacroix has started releasing information about their upcoming Baselworld 2013 collection. They will be debuting two watches each week leading up to the start of BaselWorld. This week kicks off with two new models within their very successful Pontos range of elegant but sporty automatic chronographs. The Pontos is arguably Maurice Lacroix's most recognizable model, and rightfully so, as they have managed to design a watch that looks distinctive without being especially boisterous or ostentatious.The new models, ref 6188 and 6288, are both powered by the Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph movement which has been adjusted to three positions and features cotes de geneve decoration. The 7750 allows for sub seconds, a thirty minute register, and a 12 hour register with the chronograph seconds being displayed centrally. With 43mm stainless steel cases, these new Pontos' are nicely sized and are equipped with an anti-reflective front sapphire crystal as well as a sapphire display case

AP Help
Hi Everyone, i'm new to this forum and wanted to log on to ask some Q's about a AP Panda. I currently wear a Panerai Pam 312 & i'm looking to get a AP but i'm not sure if it'll fit me.So i tried on the AP Diver & the 44mm ROO (both with the rubber band) and they fit me good, however the panda is not a buckle strap so it fits very awkwardly. Does anyone know if i can change the band on it to make it a buckle type band? I know i can get the rubber band on the Diver to fit the Panda, but what if i want a leather band? Does AP sell any buckle leather bands that'll fit the Panda, and does anyone else with a small wrist have trouble with these no buckle bands?Thanks for the help in advance guys. Here are some photos of the watches on my wrist, i think the Diver looks the best (and i believe the diver and panda are the same size).

Vintage Omega Seamaster Repair
Hey guys! Long time, no see I'm looking for a talented watchmaker to refurb a vintage Omega Seamaster Chrono that I want to present as a gift to a friend. I'm the best man in his wedding, and the watch was originally his father's, which he purchased in the 70's. Anyway, it's a VERY cool-looking piece, pictures of which are attached. Naturally the most important thing to me would be to get it back up and running. Nothing about that seems like it would be a problem, but from my understanding it's been several years since the watch was in working condition. My second priority would be to keep the watch in its original parts as much as possible, though I fully admit that's far less important than having the watch fully functional and looking clean again. My question to you all is, do you have any recommendations for skilled Omega watchmakers? They'd almost definitely need a parts account, as I'm sure some of the gears, gaskets and other workings are old, worn out, or otherwise needi
