SIHH Preview: Piaget Unveils its First Minute Repeater
Piaget has announced the launch of its first minute repeater timepiece, set to debut at next month’s SIHH watch fair in Geneva. In the brand’s tradition of historically thin watches and mechanical movements, the new watch sets another record for slenderness in its category: only 4.8 mm thick for the caliber and only 9.4 mm for the case.The Emperador Coussin Automatic Minute Repeater was crafted entirely in-house, with the movement, Caliber 1290P,?developed, produced, decorated and assembled at the Piaget manufacture La C?te-aux-F¨¦es and the case made at the brand’s facility in Plan-les-Ouates. This minute repeater movement represents the fourth major complication developed by Piaget, which over the past 14 years has created 35 in-house movements, including 11 comprising major complications. Some of these include notable calibers like the 600P (the world¡¯s thinnest hand-wound shaped tourbillon), 880P (ultra-thin automatic chronograph), 855P (ultra-thin automatic perpet

Tokyo Street LED Scope Watch Targets Time
The Japanese seem hell bent on devising new ways of telling the time. Countless experimental watches both novel and down right silly have been released over the years with an alternative to the traditional dial or digital approach to telling the time. Lots of them have you counting dots or lines, and doing some formula in your head to tell the time. I admit that many of them have looked pretty cool, I'd nay choose them as a device for chronometric measurement.The two biggest purveyors of such novelty watches are Tokyo Flash and Tokyo Street. I doubt that the name similarity is a coincidence, but they are separate companies as far as I can tell. While most of these watches succeed in creating visual interest, few are particularly useful in my humble opinion. Once in a while they come out with something that I might actually use, and the Tokyo Street LEC Scope watch is one of them.Looking at the watch you can see two perpendicular lines that intersect on a X/Y axis. The point of their in

New camera, old watch and no clue
So I decided it was time to Invest in a better camera (who knew buying watches would extend to this?) since my old Ixus just didn`t give me what I needed. So here`s a couple of pics, boy do I have alot to learn! The manual on this thing is a 150 pages!!Oh, and It`s the Nikon D80 with a 18-55 lens. Not really up to Hannes or JBHII quality, but I promise I`ll get betterHappy New Year everyone!

Can't send private messages
I ordered a SS patron membership a year ago. The private messages worked for 6 months and then suddenly stopped. After 3 months of no messenging, I reordered. Not only did it double charge my account, but now I have no private messenging capabilities again. I have emailed the mods about this with no response. I am out $30 and have nothing to say for it. I love this forum, and I would really like to be able to message. Am I missing something? What should I do?akkatron

Quartz or Mechanical?
