replica piaget watches I was fortunate enough to speak with Messrs. Coppola and Journe this week before the auction. For more details on the watch, you can check out that story here. I love a fun watch. And while at Watches and Wonders in Geneva, you see some of the most extravagant and incredible pieces of watchmaking all under one roof, sometimes the palate cleanser becomes the memorable part. And nothing could be more true than when I finally got to see TAG Heuer's new Formula 1 models in person. The cases for both the Sprint and the High Jump are made of  Quartz TPT (for the colored front and back case plates) and Carbon TPT (for the case bands) which are both shock resistant and ultra light – ideal for high intensity activities. The case measures 38.7mm x 47.52mm and is 7.8mm thick. The Hublot Sang Bleu II limited edition chronograph brings together the world of haute horology and abstract art. It is the result of a relationship between Hublot and Maxime Plescia-Büchi, a self-described "tattooist" from Switzerland. His studio and creative agency, Sang Bleu, includes a magazine that explores fine art, fashion, sociology, kink culture, and tattoo culture. This complicated legacy plays out over the history of modern horology, driving the perpetual motion forward, over the horizon, tick by tick. The record-setting JPS also illustrates the demand for top-quality condition. While that example sold for about $2.5 million, another JPS at Antiquorum in less-than-stellar condition failed to sell. More than ever, condition is what truly matters.

Following the original Ref. 9630 and its successor, the Ref. 3580, the King Midas design was later branded as a Cellini collection model. Of the multiple references that made up this unconventional Rolex's second chapter, those mounted on exotic leather straps are perhaps the most compelling. We are cleaning up right now and are confident we can reopen after the holidays on August 14th, says Chaulmontet. "Of course, the reconstruction itself (especially the outside of the buildings) will take much longer, but we will do all possible to reopen as soon as possible. As you know, Sellita is pivotal for a large part of the industry, and we do all possible to deserve the trust placed in us and serve our clients, even in very difficult times. The finish of the dial, on the other hand, is a touch more decorative. It's clearly black, but it has a sunburst finish that in bright light renders it almost grey. It has just enough visual intrigue to keep you from growing tired of its, um, familiar appearance. These increases also bring some Rolex watches, mainly the steel sports models, closer at MSRP to a secondary market price that has been slowly softening over the past year off a record-high peak. This is all to say, that there's something about the AE that just speaks to me. Like Tony last year, I was smitten by the salmon dial XPS, and impressed by the thinness. This XP TT is no exception although I wish I was able to experience the combination of the 8mm case with titanium.

The normal practice for naval engagements during the age of fighting sail, was for the opposing fleets to form up in rows opposite each other. This was the so-called line of battle; a vessel powerful enough to be in a line of battle was known as a "ship of the line. Versions of Tudor's Black Bay dive watch in bronze have been around for about three years now, and in that time we've seen the original version with a matte brown dial and brown bezel insert, a blue-dialed execution with matching blue bezel insert available exclusively through Switzerland-based retailer Bucherer, and a one-off left-handed version with a dial and bezel in khaki green made for Only
