Patek Philippe: Just a guess, but maybe their website broke when they unlisted the discontinued watches

Yesterday when I saw people post about the discontinuations, I went to patek.com and some of the pages I tried to visit gave me error messages.

Independents: Hands-On With The Recent Urwerk Releases

I own the blue-dial 5524G-001, but I also prefer this new ivory dial variant over the previous version. I think this dial color works well with a large variety of strap colors, so you can find a combination that matches whatever style you are after very easily.

I am referring solely to the production process. A typical example of a MEMS device would be the accelerometer or gyroscope in your smartphone which are tiny mechanical machines, but also have an electronic component as they communicate with an IC's logic. This Rolex escapement does not have any ele
