Independents: Hasn't MG already done this in the 37mm Benu case? ...or maybe it was "vintage" but not tremblage.

If tremblage in 37mm hasn't happened yet, I hope it comes out, and not as a limited run because I think it would be a bestseller, relatively speaking. (I'd be willing to sell as many of my current watches as needed to be able to snag a 37mm tremblage -- and as a runner-up, a hamatic tremblage.)

Horological Meandering: it's due to the LED light cast by the lectern reading lamp

Can also see the cold light in the white reflections on the watch case ...or maybe he really is bloodless, and that's all just makeup on his face and ears

Horological Meandering: Laziness (or inertia) rules my choices these days

If it's already ticking, with the time correctly set, it's a strong candidate for the day's wear. So I tend to wear the same watch two or more days in a row. If nothing's wound up, the one that's easiest to set correctly. Thus, a stopped one with the the date wheel closest to today's has an edge. No

Bulgari: Perhaps some people simply can't resist untruthful, unethical salesmanship?

Reminds me of what happened at TAG Heuer in ~2009, when rights were bought to a Seiko chronograph calibre. "In-house" was all the rage back then, so TH flogged the modified movement as having been designed 100% in-house. Nowadays, being a limited edition is the hot feature that lures buyers, so it's

Horological Meandering: Smaller players are definitely getting whacked

...and it's a double whammy, too. on one hand there's the watch bubble deflating over the past year, and on the other there's the more recent spiking swiss franc. a sharp example of this could be ming, which prices its wares in chf. look at listings on c24 and some are below the original prices from

Jaeger-LeCoultre: Strap is preferred, but not black 'gator

Bracelet is great for summer though. However, what keep me from grabbing that watch are those two screws on the dial. I'm only willing to tolerate them if the slots are both perfectly vertical. Back when it was still in the catalog, I used to check JLC displays wherever I went, in case there was a s

Horological Meandering: Dunno about Breguet but about JLC, not to worry

The way the brand is muddling along, there won’t be any favorable changes in the way it’s perceived. (Seems to me JLC’s way of trying to boost resale values is to just keep raising SRPs.) Still, I keep hoping for actually interesting new products that are accessible to non-oligarchs every time there
