Introducing Russia's Konstantin Chaykin And His Unique Cinema Watch
Konstantin Chaykin is quite a rare bird in the world of independent horology, in that he works outside of Switzerland. Chaykin is the only Russian member of the?Acad¨¦mie Horlogere des Cr¨¦ateurs Ind¨¦pendants (ACHI), the professional body for independent watchmakers that counts the likes of Philippe Dufour and Kari Voutilainen?as members. This alone makes Chaykin and his work interesting, but the fact that he's also developed an entirely new complication made us take a closer look. Here is a first look at the Cinema watch, housing a nineteenth-century style mechanical animation.The Cinema was released earlier this year at Basel World. It is called the Cinema because of its unique complication, which simulates an early style of mechanical animation. The aperture at 6 o'clock reveals an animation of a horse running.

Hamilton Khaki X-Patrol WIll Help You Master The Metric System
Hamilton's Khaki line of watches have been popular among outdoorsmen/women looking for wallet friendly, rugged mechanical watches. Very useful watches, even if a tad uninteresting. The aviation inspired X-Patrol adds a new spin to these watches however, with the addition of conversion scales for world travelers that haven't quite nailed down units like kilometers, liters and meters. What's more, the X-Patrol has a new movement, various dial configuration options and a sub $2,000 price tag. What looks at first glance to be a gussied up Tachy bezel, is actually two rings that flank the dial, one of which rotates via the crown at 9 o'clock. On the inner ring are 4 separate data sets that can be matched up with the rotating outer bezel. Once you've got the arrows lined up you can make your conversion of miles and kilometers (statute or nautical); heights or altitudes in feet and meters; volumes in gallons and liters; and weights in pounds and kilograms. Pretty useful stuff if you're trying

Changing bezel colors? CokePepsiCokePepsi
How hard is it to change the insert on the "old" GMT-II?The one I just bought "M serial" is the coke, but if it's easy to change, I wouldn't mind going pepsi for a few months, then back.Are they glued on or are they loose when the bezel is removed?Is it easy to do yourself or just have an AD do it?Thanks

Through the magic of photoshop, here are a few variants. Kida makes me realize I need to branch out into some other strap colors. :-) (to think if I actually had 6 of these watches!) Dial close upClose up with lumeOne more lume
