In 2011, Blancpain is pursuing the reinterpretation of its Villeret collection initiated in2010. The Manufacture du Brassus is offering an exclusive preview of its first VilleretDemi-Fuseau Horaire, a model that serves to adjust the second time zone in half-hourincrements. Travellers to countries with half-hour time-zone differences, such as India, will thus be equally punctual while in those par
to me looks like Sarpaneva himself, especially the cheeks. i always thought it looked a little angry, bothered, almost disturbing (but compelling at the same time), and when i spoke to Sarpaneva earlier this year at Basel, i was pleasantly surprised that first impressions aside as described above, he came across as really nice and earnest. you can't presume to know someone from just one conversat
agree with MarkS that perhaps it'll look better if at least the winding mechanism is hidden. i do not like reptiles but i think nature has endowed them with a surreal beauty that is supposed to charm their prey to inaction. is the croc back and limbs all white gold? or very tiny diamonds? beautiful.

Blancpain
Just got back from Blancpain's factory at Le Brassus earlier today... a truly beautiful setup. Outside, it was snowing quite heavily, the snow falling like ash; and on the inside, the large windows and acres of wood panelling (beech?) emanated a sense of warmth missing in other factories that affect the ambience of medical facilities. Visit report and pictures will follow soon-i

Seiko
Seiko does good stuff, no doubt. But beyond that, it's also got what no other company has: the Spring Drive. It's the horological parallel of the Mazda's rotary engine, another rarity, and both are just the last word on smoothness in their respective realms. For this reason, i'm not for subsidiary seconds ina Spring Drive watch, cos watching the central seconds hand glide over the di
Artya
Insane is the word that comes to mind, these Artya novelties were designed by Yvan Arpa, of Romain Jerome fame -- or notoreity, since it was Arpa who created rust-decked watches from the hull of the Titanic, and moon watches with actual dust from the moon and straps from the suits of cosmonauts working and living on the ISS. But where i am personally (i speak only for myself) unsure
