A very quick glance at some new 2024 AP novelties

As is the way these past 5+ years, I receive random emails with press releases. For now, I will post a selection of photos, and we can revisit later (usually by the time I get a post up, 5 members have already shared all the details anyways!!). John Mayer

Watches and Wonders 2023: A review on the Chopard Alpine Eagle 41 XPS.

Even though I share some of your enthusiasm, I will personally not pull the trigger on this one, nor on the 1860, both of which I have tried on at W&W where they were presented to me by the late and great Jose Garcia. Let me explain precisely why. 1/

Chopard Alpine Eagle Tourbillon.

But I'm not sure that it would work as well with the XPS as with the Flying Tourbillon, as the small seconds subdial isn't positioned as low on the dial as the Tourbillon hole: the XPS has a half-index at 6, whereas the Tourbillon hasn't. And the bezel of

but the dial isn't enamel and the indexes are applied. It's "ultra thin" (7,45mm) and manual-winding (3Hz & 100h pr). As for the Carrousel, it seems to be a different complication than the Flying Tourbillon: Blancpain has a model which has both of the

I still struggle to fully understand and appreciate this complication and would very much like to know what you think of the caliber 242 designed for Blancpain by Vincent Calabrese. I personally love it because it's a flying tourbillon and because it give

I thought I wasn’t attracted at all to gem set watches, until some Chopard red carpet editions (with and without flying tourbillon) were presented to me: I was each time surprised by how I found them nice even though I didn’t feel I would want to wear the

Dubai Watch Week: Cool Watch Alert: Vanguart Black Hole Tourbillon

I saw this at Dubai Watch Week and I found it to be very impressive! I found it to be THE MOST SURPRISING WATCH at Dubai Watch Week! It's a digital watch kind of like the Lange Zeitwerk, but it has a more futuristic TRON/Spaceship vibe. It also adds a Fly
