Esteemed Mechanical Watchmaker F.P. Journe On Making A Quartz Movement
Although it?was as early as?January 2014 that we debuted the F.P. Journe ¨¦l¨¦gante (hands-on here), it is only now that the first quartz movement equipped wristwatch from F.P. Journe ¨C one of the?undisputed greats?among today's independent master watchmakers ¨C finds its way to the U.S. market. It was on this occasion that, in the F.P. Journe boutique on Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills, we sat down with Francois-Paul Journe for what turned out to be an hour-long conversation?about the finer details of the F.P. Journe ¨¦l¨¦gante and the movement inside of it.There were many different questions that we had?prepared prior to the conversation: how one of the most?respected traditional watchmakers of our age ended up making a quartz movement; how involved he had been in the process;?what his approach was to what is generally?accepted to be a "soulless" alternative to mechanical watches with a beating heart; and, last but not least, what makes this quartz movement special?What stood out to me?

Featured Oris: Artix Complication
Okay, so far I have looked back at a couple of watches - one that's been around in similar form for while (the Diver Date) and one based on another 'proven' model, so to speak (Team Hunter LE, a BC variation)...But I have been so impressed with the promotional pics and description of the new model Oris Artix Complication that I will put some of the info that's out there, here for your viewing pleasure . Jporos, this one's for you....First up, what's the big deal?Well, big is the right word. This is a classicly styled dress watch that follows the current fashion for larger watches, at 42mm. I think this watch will be easily accepted by newer owners not convinced that a dress watch needs to be 38mm or less. 42mm should not hang over any but the slimmest of wrists, and will help with easy reading of the multiple complications (handy if your eyes are not as good as they used to be...)And the other new 'thing'?This is the first watch from Oris that features day, month, moonphase, and pointe

UPDATE: Tag back with Tiger
Yes, folks, the story continues........"Tiger woods sponsor TAG Heuer standing behind TigerThe Swiss watch maker TAG Heuer has made a bold statement proclaiming that they are standing behind the pro-golfer Tiger Woods. In a new image that appears at their website, the words ¡®TAG HEUER Stands behind Tiger Woods¡¯ can clearly be read. Just last week, the company had stated they were cutting ties with the golfer."primewriter/news-1246-headlines/?p=1820
