with this design it doesn't even matter anymore what movement is inside... A watch only a mother could love, the Aquanauts and Nautilus' disfigured sibling in the basement...
Before you dismiss the possibility out of hand, consider: 1) The dial lost the power reserve 2) There is a big date, day and moonphase. As a mechanical, all three would need to be corrected upon watch reset. 3) The small seconds has only twelve tick marks...
Now we enter the financial phase when timepiece manufacturers will have to get back to working to make a sale as was the historic norm. In fact, we may go back to the Asia crisis times or worse financially. Be prepared folks. Just ask LVMH stock / recent ...
Imagine if it's a PLATINUM cased watch, quartz, complicated, and from Patek Philippe. I can see that costing $40K easily on a strap. A steel, no complications, Patek Philippe, on a strap would already cost close to $20K. Data point is the Patek 24 for lad...
Perpetual calendar instructions could have been: 1) you don’t need to reset it 2) take to AD every 4 years 3) consider to buy another watch from AD, while AD changes battery and seals

7 pm in Munich now Since the early 90’s launch of the Twenty4, display case backs have caught on across almost all price points, so i expect all models of this line to show off the decorated movements within. I speculate this line would start with 3 membe...
Here’s earlier work for the Piaget 212P, an earlier perpetual calendar quartz (with chronograph!) The Piaget method for QP was to spin the time an extra 24 hours at midnight at the end of apr, Jun, sep, Nov and an extra 48 to 72 hours at the end of Februa...
Quartz changes the game here. This watch will be to the Nautilus, what the Aquanaut Luce is to the Aquanaut. And the Luce is a fantastic watch, by the way. In my mind, if quartz, it all makes sense in a way.
PP discontinued the 5711A, in order to release THIS watch today? Incomprehensible stuff really. Why not just produce more 5711A and 5167A? Anyway, this is bad in aesthetics, in design language, in marketing, in product placement, in long term strategy, in...
