Historical Perspectives: Bringing Method To Madness: PBS Explores The Way Timekeeping Impacted Modern Civilization
Think about this for a moment: before the 1880's, there were hundreds of time zones within the United States, with towns all across the country adhering to their own standard of "local time." This confusing system was a relic of an America before efficient transportation networks, when there wasn't much need for a centrally regulated, uniform system. The advancement of the railroad system in the late 1800's necessitated a change to a more standard system, and this short excerpt from the upcoming PBS series "How We Got to Now" demonstrates just how confusing things were before then ¨C and how essential timekeeping is to keep modern society up and running.

Introducing: The A. Lange & S?hne Grand Lange One Moonphase Lumen
Lange is having a break-out year at SIHH, and that's saying a lot because, you know, this is Lange. Adding to the fire is this new Grand Lange 1 Moonphase Lumen, the third open dial watch from Lange in its 21 year history. 1 OF 4 The last Lange to receive the "Lumen" treatment was at SIHH 2013 and that was a similar watch, the regular Grand Lange 1. Lange has taken this base model and given the same look to the slightly more expensive and esoteric Grande Lange 1 Moonphase, with the moonphase display being at the very center of the action here. 2 OF 4 Different from Lange’s previous moon-phase models with solid-gold lunar discs, this watch has a disc made of glass. It is first coated, and then 1,164 stars and moon are laser cut into it. Thanks to the luminous compound behind the lunar disc, the stars and moon shine when charged, giving the watch an insanely cool look in the metal.l. Once properly set, the moonphase only needs to be correct

(Very) Slight Price Diff. on Steelfish vs Colt Auto
Hi guys! Just went over few AD here, and already set my eye on Steelfish or Colt Auto. Would like the Cockpit but then again, that'll be my next aim for sure. What I found out was that the price difference is very little on those two models. I mean, Steelfish is 2000m + HEV + cambered sapphire crystal glass and all, but the price is tagged just few hundred bucks above Colt Auto. Would this means that the HEV + cambered sapphire crystal is just merely a filler?? Pardon my limited knowledge, but this curiosity kills me...

Wachmaker tool question
Is there a different tool for resizing bracelets than the one for changing leather bands? Or is there one tool that has both functions? I want to get one that I saw on ebay, is $7.99 with shippingTIA
