This is where place chilling out with friends, bitching about me ( which i dont give a damn ), talking about watches, so on and so forth.

Yep this is me! just a short intro on me lol ! =D

MB&F HM2-SV – Sapphire Vision

Based on the popular Horological Machine 2 (MB&F’s second watch), the SV offers a new view – literally. SV stands for “sapphire vision.”
THe unique aspect of the watch is the large 3.6mm thick sapphire crystal that serves as the front plate of the watch in lieu of metal. The result is an ability to see the MB&F automatic movement that powers the double faced timepiece.

The left dial of the watch displays the date and a moon phase indicator, while the right dial has jumping hours and a retrograde minute scale.
The Sapphire Crystal is so hard to make, that three out of four crystals break during the process of making them that takes 55 hours for the crystal alone (to cut). The hardest part is drilling the hopes for the screws. The back plate of the watch is in titanium, while the automatic rotor is 22k gold in its iconic battle ax shape. Pretty awesome watch from the world of avant garde high horology.
There will only be 25 pieces of the SV for the whole world.
Pretty cool huh?

Maitres du Temps- Chapter Two

The Maitres du Temps Chapter Two collection welcomes new additions. Chapter Two, a majestic timepiece born out of collaboration of a group of brilliant master watchmakers, with Peter Speake-Marin and Daniel Rothon the list, is now available in new variations to match exquisite tastes of watch enthusiasts.

Chapter Two is equipped with a technically advanced movement elaborated by the highly expertised master watchmakers who thoroughly tested, refined, and decorated the mechanism to make it correspond to the most stringent standards.
The Chapter Two triple calendar watch continues the success of the Chapter One, with fine black anodized aluminum rollers for day and month, and an 18K red gold case with six sapphire crystals that allow a view of the intricate mechanics of this stunning timepiece. An alligator hand-sewn strap, a fifty hour power reserve, and solid gold central minute and hour hands are just some of its impressive features.
It is believed to worth over an astonishing sum of $72,000.
Correct me if im wrong.

Thomas Prescher- Mysterious Automatic Double Axis Tourbillon

Only time, Tourbillon, calendar and oscillating weight are visible. The movement is completely hidden.
Place to hide the movement was found left and right in the case, hidden by the bezel. Because the space is very limited the parts of the movement had to be located on both sides.
Later, resting in a hammock the idea was born to create an automatic movement with horizontal swinging oscillating weight. To crown this exceptional piece of art, it was a logical decision to choose something special for the heart of this watch. The escapement with its beating balance has to be a flying Double Axis Tourbillon with constant force.
The idea to add a calendar to this creation came while observing some people entering a giant swing. They could move on the surface of the swing. Why not create an oscillating weight with integrated calendar indications and let the gravity take the calendar on the oscillating weight remains always horizontal.
This mysterious watch with its transparency led automatically to the wish to wear it from sides, front and back. With the calendar located on the flat side of the oscillating weight this indication is always facing upward. It can be read regardless of which side of the watch is up.
Respecting the aspects of harmony was an important point. Two crowns were used to keep the beauty of symmetry with. One crown is used for winding and the other for setting time and calendar. Both crowns build the main symmetry axis. Now it was necessary to build the optical balance between the oscillating weight on one side and the indication of time on the other side. For that reason a three dimensional moon was placed between the two barrels, indicating the hours and minutes.
Finally, placed on a turning axis, held by a carrying arm the carriage is rotating around itself. These two synchronized motions create a gyro scoping image immediately taking full attention.
A mesmerizing kinetic sculpture is born.

Maitres du temps- Chapter One

The ease of both reading and adjusting Chapter One's many indications disguises the fact that this is a world-first combination of complications crafted from 558 components.
No other wristwatch has featured a tourbillon with mono-pusher column wheel chronograph, retrograde date, and retrograde GMT, as well as moon phase and day of the week on their own rolling bars.
Long, flowing compound curves traverse the case while scintillating laser-pierced moon and stars on the outer roller of the moon phase indicator add to its stellar elegance.

Dewitt- Academia Tourbillon Force Constante

DeWitt has inbuilt its legendary constant force tourbillon with a system that relays energy to its associated power reserve indicator. Rotating the crown when winding the barrel-spring drives a miniature chain, which uses an intermediate wheel to activate the power reserve indicator sliding on a worm screw. Three years after developing an ingenious patented regulating system – three extra wheels transmitting impulses of identical force to the tourbillon, whatever the barrel’s degree of tension – DeWitt has now taken innovation to even greater heights.
