Here we have a full calendar, including weeks and a moon phase., in a 36 mm case, in white gold, which is circa 8 mm high, housing the automatic Cal 1126 ( JLC ). Isn't that a pretty one? From the 90's. Always a pleasure to see such lovely watches from a

While the novelties will garner much of the attention this week, it is also nice to look at watch that isn't so new. I met a collector who has an model from the late 1990's. The reference 47052 featured an automatic movement that indicates hours, minutes,
I had a BP triple date moonphase that was so hard to read that I could not wear it to work lest I misread the time and miss an appointment. (And I had LASIK surgery, too, but sometimes you can't correct for everything.) However, although it was a nice wat
