In this article we will examine an instrument that is so important that the life of its operator depends on it. The operator in question is a diver, submerging in a hostile environment either to make a living, or to hunt fish. No, it is not a big dive computer with a huge lcd screen that performs countless calculations per milisecond based on complex algorithms. http://monochrome-watches.com/omega-seamaster-automatic-120m-chronograph-ref-176-004-k-big-blue/

In recent years, common lines spoken by non-watch collectors or enthusiasts tend to resemble, “I don’t need a watch, I have my mobile phone to check the time,” or “The watch industry is dead, no one needs to wear a watch to tell the time.” While these comments seem true at face value, they don’t really account for the fact that the luxury watch segment continues to grow year over year.http://ourminutes.tourneau.com/pocket-watch-dead/

On a rare tour of Rolex’s movement-manufacturing complex in Bienne, Switzerland, WatchTime’s Joe Thompson and Norma Buchanan witnessed the making of the Cosmograph Daytona Caliber 4130. We reported on it in this feature from our March-April 2010 issue. The first thing that strikes you is its sheer size. The Rolex movement-making complex, on the outskirts of Bienne, Switzerland, is a study in gigantism. It consists of four monolithic buildings, occupying 170,000 cubic meters of space. It’s imposing, and, with its air of impregnability, a little mysterious.http://www.watchtime.com/featured/rolex-bienne/

What makes a watch worth a million dollars or more? In a new book, “The World’s Most Expensive Watches” (Antique Collectors Club, $95), Ariel Adams showcases 102 men’s watches that have sold for as much as $5 million. The watches range from historically important objects to decorative yet functional diamond-encrusted bracelets. Some have features like astronomical charts and perpetual calendars. What accounts for their appeal? “People are always trying to find perfection in life, and they can’t, but watches are finely tuned machines,” says Mr. Adams. “So they might think, ‘My life is hectic, and the world is crazy, but this machine is as close to perfection as you can imagine.’ http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-million-dollar-watch-1417033622?tesla=y

Some of the guests milling about the gorgeously styled grounds included famous divers, ocean explorers, a world-record holder, and various personalities from the world of watches. The view out over the deep blue Mediterranean sparkling in the late afternoon sunlight was complemented by interesting conversation. That and a vague sense of honor and awe at being invited to celebrate something that so obviously moved Blancpain CEO Marc Hayek that he and his family decided to hold its announcement at their family’s summer residence on the Côte d’Azur.http://quillandpad.com/2014/10/17/blancpain-takes-to-the-ocean-with-the-fifty-fathoms-ocean-commitment-bathyscaphe-flyback-chronograph/

Longines represents an excellent entry point into the world of fine Swiss-made watches. During the brand’s 182-year history, it has served as an official Olympic timer, supplied timepieces to multiple expeditions and to the International Aviation Federation, won numerous Grand Prix competitions, and of course created the famous Lindberg Hour Angle pilots’ watch. Today, Longines offers a broad range of great-looking watches at attractive prices.

The first photos of Citizen’s latest addition to its Grand Touring range surfaced in spring 2014 and immediately generated quite a lot of interest among dive watch fans all over the world – which was totally understandable. After all, the watch is a bold (one might even say “chunky”) yet still somewhat elegant blue-dialed divers’ watch with an orange hand and an in-house caliber, produced by a company that can be considered a driving force not only in supplying scuba divers with (quartz) watches equipped with integrated depth meters, but in contemporary dive watches in general.http://www.watchtime.com/blog/dive-watch-wednesday-hands-on-with-the-citizen-grand-touring-sport/

Although you may wear your timepiece on a regular basis, there is always a need for a watch winder. Watch winders come in a variety of forms, but they all perform the same task: keeping your timepieces wound while not being worn. These brilliant items can be as simple as a single watch winder that can be stored in a closet, to massive floor safes or even entire rooms in a home dedicated to keeping a collection up and running.http://ourminutes.tourneau.com/watch-accessories-every-collector/

Sometimes, it is the simplest of touches that proves the most difficult, as we see in this 40mm white gold high complication watch. You can clearly see that it is a fully set piece (that means dial, bezel, case-middle, lugs and bracelet) but that is just part of the story because a fully gem-set watch is not in itself that extraordinary.http://www.luxury-insider.com/luxury-news/2014/10/choice-cut-blancpain-tourbillon-diamants-2926?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LuxuryInsider+%28Luxury+Insider%3A+The+Online+Luxury+Magazine%29

This year, Jaquet Droz adds a new chapter to the Grande Seconde story. The movement inside this legendary model takes a leap forward with the incorporation of a silicon balance spring and a pallet lever with inverted horns. Exceptionally supple and equally hard to master, silicon is insensitive to shocks, magnetic fields, and changes in temperature and pressure, with the added benefit of being perfectly stable over time. http://forums.watchuseek.com/f381/jaquet-droz-grande-seconde-quanti%E8me-ivory-enamel-1076595.html

I am never shy about taking an opportunity to cover one of Bovet's exciting Recital collection timepieces and here is a look at the new for 2014 Bovet Recital 16. In the video below, you'll see a bit of the Bovet Recital 16 as well as the other new Recital watches for the year. Recital watches exist in the Bovet Dimier collection, which is most notably marked by their lack of a "ribbon" crown protector (and crown) at 12 o'clock. Therefore, in addition to being often rather complex, the Bovet Dimier watches tend to have more traditional cases with crowns at 3 o'clock.http://www.ablogtowatch.com/bovet-recital-16-watch-hands/

On October 10th 2014, CNN will debut a new television program called "Ones to Watch" that will be fully sponsored by French watch and jewelry maker Cartier. Like most major media, Turner-owned CNN has been experimenting with new ways of deriving revenue with advertiser sponsored content. In fact, sponsoring an entire show and surrounding media is not at all new. Years ago, it used to be that television programs had one major sponsor. Ones To Watch will be a monthly show that focuses on discovering emerging artists and their work around the world.http://www.ablogtowatch.com/cnn-launches-cartier-sponsored-ones-to-watch-programming/

In Geneva, Switzerland, on November 11, 2014, the hammer fell, signaling the end of a highly anticipated Sotheby’s event that would once again return the famous and completely unique Patek Philippe Supercomplication pocket watch to the auction block. In the hours after the end of the auction, a bevy of luxury lifestyle and financial world journalists eagerly reported on the record-setting value not only of the Supercomplication watch itself, but of any previously auctioned timepiece. The final price, bid via proxy for an anonymous entity was 23,237,000 Swiss Francs – an amount that converts to over $24,000,000 USD.http://www.forbes.com/sites/arieladams/2014/11/12/24000000-patek-philippe-supercomplication-pocket-watch-beats-its-own-record-at-auction/

Sturmanski started manufacturing mechanical pilot watches in Russia in 1949, as a standard issue for all Russian air force pilots at the time. On 12 April 1961, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel into space, and during his historic flight he wore a Sturmanskie wristwatch which thus became the first watch to travel into Space and demonstrated perfect functioning in the conditions of zero-gravity. Today Sturmanskie is owned by the Volmax Company, which is the leading watchmaker in Russia. Volmax also owns two other well-known international brands, Aviator and Buran - See more at: http://wearyourlifestyle.com/blog-Sturmanskie-Legendary-Russian-Pilot-Watches.html#sthash.xlGZCk0z.dpuf
