Crystal Time generously gave me additional copies to use as prizes on this forum. Click here  to enter the contest.

Shall we buy watches to live like our heroes? (from:Horological Meandering)

A month ago I was once again, like each year, fighting against the nearly irresistible need of buying a Rolex watch for diving. Not that I plan to enter the Comex, or even the Ifremer that is more my local culture, but living on the seaside means that you can easily get caught on a ride on the ocean!   The bad summer weather meant very little time spent underwater so I was probably missing some beach time.   I easily resisted the IWC competition daily brought back by the visio

Why the Datograph is a very good watch but not the best... (from:A.Lange & Söhne)

When you lay eyes on the Lange Datograph, you are immediately hit by its presence, the sheer luxury and quality which makes it eminently superlative – superlative just like an officially certified Rolex chronometer.   So what makes the Datograph superlative?

Wars have been fought for control of platinum mines. The best type of blonde is a platinu
