LVMH Reports Strong First Half Results
LVMH Mo?t Hennessy Louis Vuitton recorded revenue of €10.3 billion in the first half of 2011, an increase of 13%. Profit for the first half rose to €2.223 million, an increase of 22% compared to the same period in 2010, which had itself shown strong growth. Organic revenue for watches and jewelry grew by 27% and profit from recurring operations increased by 73%. The Group saw sustained growth in the U.S., Europe and Asia.LVMH attributed strong revenue growth at TAG Heuer to the automatic chronograph with the 1887 Calibre movement, to the new women¡¯s ranges in the Formula 1 line, and to the selective opening of TAG Heuer stores. TAG Heuer opened its flagship U.S. boutique in Las Vegas in June.New Hublot King Power models with manufacture Unico movements were also cited as contributing to the results.LVMH said Zenith saw strong demand for its new collections.The first half was also marked by the Group’s agreement with the Bulgari family for the contribution of its majority sharehol

Another Corner-filler
Oddly enough, some of the 'unfilled corners' of my collection are not the rare movements, but instead are the most common. For example, in the 670 series, I have the scarce 676, and the uncommon 675, as well as the 670, 671, 672, and 674. But I don't have a 673, which is probably the most common one of the group. Why? Well, since they're common, I can hold out for either a great price, or a great watch at a great price, or maybe a something kind of different or oddball.Along those lines, in the second series of the 8/0 watches, I have several each of 555s and 556s, but until today, I didn't have a 554. 554s were originally a 15j movement, later upgraded to 17j. They're common as dirt, so I haven't been in a huge hurry to get one. Then, last week, I saw something a little different. It wasn't running, but I have a gazillion spares for 8/0 watches, and indeed I've successfully restaffed one. I bid $11, but since nobody else bid, I got it for the minimum, $9.99. Not as cool as l

gevril watch winder
Does anyone know who built these, looks like it might be orbita? If so what orbita model is it a copy of? Thanks

What was your first Hamilton?
My first Hamilton was a Khaki Field Auto Chrono purchased new. I've since gone on to buy a vintage (pre-1969) and another new modern piece (Trent). I am still waitng for the Officer's model to come in at my AD. When he told me it was available I thought he meant days, not weeks.What was your first? Please vote in the poll and elaborate in a reply.

Is this a movement issue?
The watch has stopped as the power reserve has wound down. It is now when I start to end the crown on it¡¯s winding position for about 60 turns and the seconds hand does not move whatsoever. I then proceed to lightly shake the watch and the seconds hand starts to move. Immediately lay it at rest to see if it would stop as the light jerk should supposedly last under a minute. To my surprise the watch has kept running for over 12 hours now and it seems like the initial wind did raise the power reserve back up. Should I be concerned that the seconds hand doesn¡¯t move as I start winding it? With my other watches the second hand starts moving about 10-20 turns after the power reserve has died off. The watch I¡¯m talking about is the 15710st diver with a 3120 movement. I wonder if anybody else has also encountered this issue and care to share. Thanks!
