new or not...
It is to my mind a style choice of strap manufacture.
What it may say can only be construed as 'marketing'.
Not to be taken too seriously...
The watch is the thing!
New Greubel Forsey with a sapphire case... but what about the strap?
Greubel Forsey recently unveiled a new limited edition (only 8 pieces) whose all the case is made of sapphire. Nothing "new" if we consider the ones from Hublot or H. Moser & Cie. Well, in fact, a detail drew my attention. It concerns the rubber strap. Wh...
It would seem that sapphire cases are the thing now. Bell and Ross. Mille.
One may be special but every brand now has to jump on the band wagon.
Sapphire Crystal cases mmm.....
What is it about brands that they all or most of them, seem to follow each other round in circles doing essentially the same thing...? Whether it is Saphhire crystal cases, DLC black cases, bronze cases, "Ltd. Edit. Blue dial" for the platinum model, "Bou...
Nothing new under the sun, don't you think?
Some examples: Vintage Chronographs from AP / VC / Patek. They all opted for dials which are very close, and same movement. Cases, I will have to see, but I suspect they are very close to each other. Another example? Vintage diving watches. Same here. The...

Well, I'm ok with Sapphire and the strap is indeed a sentence already know in the brand
First, thanks for the pciture! The Double Tourbillon Technique is my favorite GB. Richard Mille started his versions (RM056-xx) quite a moment ago but MB&F had also his case made of sapphire quite much before that (though not a complete case). However...
The strap is just fun, not
the stuff to start a revolution. Fun and a little bit pretentious. Writing all that about one self. I guess all that literature used to be written on the case, so they have to put it somewhere else. The crystal case is another case. I do not think why we ...
