Watch Insider Reviews Breguet’s New Chiming Watch, Ref. 7800 Classique ¡°La Musicale¡±
With the push of a button at 10 o¡¯clock, or when it strikes a pre-set time, Breguet’s new Ref. 7800 Classique “La Musicale” plays “Badinerie,” composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Click here to discover the details of the watch and listen to its chimes, in this featured article from my blog, Watch-Insider.The first “La Musicale” watch inspired a great deal of discussion when it first came out in 2012, because apart from telling the time, it also housed a remarkable, patented, musical chiming mechanism that played Rossini’s aria, “The Thieving Magpie.” At Baselworld 2013, La Montre Breguet proudly introduced a new version of this revolutionary timepiece. This rose-gold watch is still fitted with Breguet¡¯s self-winding 777 movement, with silicon used for the escapement and balance spring. In this model, when the push-piece at 10 o¡¯clock is activated, or when a pre-set time arrives, the musical piece played by the chimes is Bach

Linde Werdelin Oktopus II Double Date Watch
I've seen where Linde Werdelin has come from and I see where it is going. Quickly adapting to the market the small brand is a unique example of both flexibility and independence in an industry where such concepts are not as common as they might seem. Their major timepiece launch for 2012 is the Oktopus II, and I recently spent some time on a call with the brand's co-founder Jorn Werdelin to discuss the new watch.The Oktopus II is not a singular piece but part of a new family. While conceptually the same, the II it is a very different watch compared to the original Linde Werdelin Oktopus timepiece. Starting with the II it is clear that the Oktopus range will be a more or less long-term member of the Linde Werdelin family. Almost none of the original watches from the brand are still made, but each is being carried on thematically in more interesting ways. What is still consistent among all their pieces is use of the special case design that allows for the LW wrist Instruments to be attac

Type Casting: Comparing The Breguet Type XX And Type XXI Chronographs
The Type XX and Type XXI chronographs don’t seem to get quite as much attention as you would think they’d get, at least in the USA, where the world of pilot’s chronographs skews much more heavily towards companies like IWC, Omega, and Breitling. Maybe part of the reason for that is that when you think of tool watches, you might think of an awful lot of companies but Breguet just isn’t one of them – tourbillons, certainly, and a history of making aesthetically irreproachable, often complicated, and very elegant watches from the end of the 18th century right down until the present day, but not tool watches as such. And yet, aviation is perhaps just as important a part of the Breguet family’s history as watchmaking, with the Type XX and XXI chronographs representing one of the most important aspects of the inventiveness that characterized Abraham Louis Breguet and his descendants. 1 OF 15 Breguet Type XX "Aeronavale" 2 OF 15

English country Sunday walk with my GMT...
I thought I would get out from behind the computer and go for a little walk today...It was a gorgeous day. I always love the dry stone walls we have in England. A "master craft" that is sadly vanishing. To build a wall without any mortar, just using dry stone - quite an achievement...Green lichen on dry stoneNot quite Rolex greenOf course, sometimes the walls fall over and need repairI love this placePeacefulTranquilTime to stop, and contemplate nature's beautyThere is always something relaxing about being near water. Perhaps because humans are mainly water, I don't know...Pepsi bezelWhite waterThis time a few weeks ago I was in New York CityThe changes a few days can bring...A lovely Sunday indeed.Where did you take your Rolex today?Hope you enjoyed!All the best,Harry
