Since its launch in 2015, the Oris Williams collection features watches that are designed to reflect the speed, power, and technology of Formula 1. This year, in Baselworld 2016, Oris had introduced a limited edition carbon fibre watch in honor of Williams F1 driver Valtteri Bottas.http://www.deployant.com/baselworld-2016-oris-williams/
At Baselworld 2016, Seiko's very high-end arm Credor released a limited edition piece that features the very first tourbillon movement by Seiko. At first, I was a little surprised, but the fact is that tourbillons are actually hard to find in Japan, and the collectors there are generally pretty tepid on the tourbillon. With a new Caliber 6830 movement based on their Caliber 68, the Credor Fugaku Tourbillon Limited Edition watch is made by three of Seiko's Master Craftsmen.http://www.ablogtowatch.com/seiko-credor-fugaku-tourbillon-limited-edition-watch-first-ever-seiko-tourbillon/

If watch brands stopped coming out with products like this, I would probably stop going to Baselworld. I might not ever be in a position where I have a spare 280 grand lying around to buy a Ulysse Nardin Grand Deck Marine Tourbillon, but I am sure as hell happy at least a few people out there do. Otherwise, I would be missing the smile that comes to my face when seeing the sail ship-inspired dial of this fascinating mechanical timepiece in action.http://www.ablogtowatch.com/ulysse-nardin-grand-deck-marine-tourbillon-watch/
These days, if it says "Toric" and the watch is a Parmigiani, you can be mostly sure of two things. First, that the watch is more than likely a one-of-a-kind "piece unique"; second, that it is a minute repeater. Parmigiani Fleurier produced series "Toric" models in the past, but today, I believe, these high-end watches are almost exclusively produced as one-of-a-kind art watches to satisfy the brand's more "esteemed" clientele. Almost each year, Parmigiani comes out with at least one new Toric minute repeater watch, and for 2016, one of them is this Toric Kaleidoscope Prestige that is interesting to observe in action.http://www.ablogtowatch.com/parmigiani-toric-kaleidoscope-prestige-minute-repeater-watch/

Ball has released many versions of their Engineer Hydrocarbon watches through the years, all featuring the unique case sporting that memorable crown guard and bright, tritium gas tube-lumed dial. Unveiled at last year's Baselworld 2015, the Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon AeroGMT watch provides the legibility, construction and material quality, and masculine looks the line is known for and takes it a step further by introducing the first ever tritium gas tube illuminated bezel. I've now spent a couple of months wearing this watch, and I still feel like a kid when I see the normally mostly black-and-white-with-touches-of-yellow dial illuminate to a bright green, blue, yellow and orange dial in the dark. The amazing part of this watch is really how it goes from being totally monochromatic by light, to being gloriously colorful in the dark.http://www.ablogtowatch.com/ball-hydrocarbon-aerogmt-watch-review/

Zenith's President & CEO Aldo Magada and SVRA's President & CEO Tony Parella hosted a cocktail party on February 18th at the Classic Car Club Manhattan in New York City. This is a world famous private club that gives its members access to a fleet of the most sought-after cars ever built. Zenith took the opportunity to unveil the El Primero Chronomaster 1969 SVRA, a special edition that incorporates the SVRA logo, powered of course by the legendary beating heart of the El Primero movement. http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=7206285&rid=21#msg_7206285

There is an art of communication that only recently was renamed thanks to social media. This newly dubbed but very old practice is the art of “humble bragging.” Humble bragging, or displaying false modesty, has been around for as long as people have wanted others to admire them (basically forever) because above all we are social animals.http://quillandpad.com/2016/01/28/why-the-manufacture-royale-1770-voltige-has-no-need-to-humble-brag/
