Sinn Now Places Impressive Diapal Technology In 757 UTC Watch Series
When you consider what goes on inside of a watch movement, it is impressive that they even work at all. I mean really, have you ever considered the delicate dance of components harmonically beating and gyrating to the rhythm of the balance wheel which must maintain a strenuously high level of consistency? To think such sophistication was birthed so long ago, and yet only now serious improvement are being made.The constant motion of component on component is a close relationship of neighboring metals (literally), and has the unpleasant side effect of friction. If you are mechanically minded, you will surely fathom that years of metal on metal contact has the side effect of wearing out the parts. This however is interestingly avoided in most part to special oils and the use of "rubies" for lubrication and to reduce wear. Rubies, are polished stones that after as strong points between various moving pieces of a watch. Gems are particularly hard (even the synthetic ones uses in watches) an

Bring a Loupe: A Modern Deep Sea From LeCoultre, A Great Looking Universal Geneve, And Two Questiona
This week, Bring A Loupe goes all-in on eBay to find the better deals, and some bad ones too. Expect to see a ridiculously cheap Heuer, a great looking Universal Geneve, and two questionable Rolexes. And, if you have not found a Valentine's Day gift yet, Bring A Loupe is here for you with two recommendations for women's watches, one of them you were probably not expecting. This is your Bring A Loupe for February 12, 2016. A Memovox Tribute To Deep Sea U.S. Edition ¨C A Very Sweet Re-Issue 1 OF 9 You probably remember the phenomenal story of a vintage Deep Sea Alarm found in a Goodwill store and bought for $5.99 last year. Well, the watch here will run you a bit more than that, and it is obviously more recent. Nonetheless, Jaeger-LeCoultre really nailed it with this faithful interpretation of the iconic Deep Sea from 1959, notably featuring the LeCoultre marking previously used for the U.S. market. While the case slightly increased in size (from 39.5 mm to 40

5140G vs. 5396G
I was hoping to start a discussion on the relative merits of these two pieces. Yes, it is an apples to oranges comparison since one is a perpetual and the other an annual, but I am interested in people's thoughts on both pieces across multiple factors that they consider when buying a watch.I personally think, with nothing else considered, that the 5396 is more aesthetically pleasing in the simplicity of the dial. There is no denying that the aesthetics of the 5140 were intentionally sacrificed in order to keep the watch as small and as thin as possible (the 5140 is 37.2 mm width and 9.2 mm thickness vs. the 39 mm and 11.5 mm of the 5396), which is part of the charm of the watch, so my opinion on the loss of aesthetics is tempered with this knowledge. Aesthetics aside, the 5140 is a perpetual and the 5396 is an annual with quite a differential in cost between both watches.IMO, both watches have an understated elegance that belie their level of complexity.
