IWC Aquatimer Watch Collection For SIHH 2009: Nice Tech, Weird Looks?
IWC dive watch enthusiasts rejoiced to see a freshened up line of IWC Aquatimer watches released recently at SIHH 2009 in Geneva. There are a number of new models, and a slightly updated a depth gauge version as well (the Deep Two). IWC seemed to take a completely different approach this year as the line is much more colorful and shiny than it was previously. I am sure that the watches are mechanically and functionally superb, but I have mixed feelings on the new looks. Still the details are impressive, especially the use of sapphire crystals over the rotating bezels.People associate professional instruments with IWC watches. The Aquatimer series was always for the serious enthusiast. The new line has models that almost look cartoony in some angles, and the sheer range of colors available seems to miss the point of why people chose IWC Aquatimer watches over competitor offerings.

Found: Two Incredible Pocket Watches From Girard-Perregaux, Including A Tourbillon With Three Bridges Over 150 Years Old
The romantic notion of a handmade watch is one that doesn't stand very much exposure to the present world of watchmaking. For many decades, the overwhelming majority of components found in series produced watches have been produced by multi-axis milling machines, and if today you visit pretty much any watch manufactory from the smallest to the largest, you'll see that most parts are being made by computer controlled (CNC) machines. There are any number of practical reasons why this is so, of course (and in general, everyone has benefited, including consumers) but it's interesting to look back occasionally to watches made at a time when handmade meant just that – and when the skill of the hands doing the making was instantly visible. These two pocket watches, from Girard-Perregaux, represent the absolute acme of the art of watchmaking in the 19th century, and a range of manual skills that in some cases at least are for all intents and purposes extinct.The two pocket wa

Constellation Chronometer Quartz
Here is an Omega Constellation Chronometer Quartz and I don't really know much about this, anybody in this forum can enlighten me about my new purchase? This is my first omega watch and looking forward on acquiring some more pieces as time goes on, didn't want to go crazy on my first one so i figured something old like this would be the first step.I noticed that the crown doesn't have the Omega logo embossed. When I also try to change the time, the hour hand is the only thing moving the minute hand gets stuck on its position as if something was stuck on its gear, but when I check it it keeps good time I just dont get it. How much does watch service cost and would it be worth it for this watch? looking forward to hear from you Omega pro's!the number under the logo inside the watch is 1343. On the back cover there are also numbers:198.0113398.0849

I also brushed the top of the case to match the brushed bracelet, but left the sides polished. Looks about perfect now
