The New Rolex Cellini Collection

Rolex has recently launched a new line of Cellini timepieces. Look at them all in their majestic glory.


The days go by in an infinite cycle: yesterday, today, tomorrow. Each day that passes is different, each day is essential. The Cellini Date model adds another function to the indication of hours, minutes and seconds: a date display imbued with elegance, tradition and poetry.
Hours, minutes and seconds form the essence of everyday timekeeping. The Cellini Time captures the present as if nothing else were of importance; nothing but the magic of the moment.
Its simple, clear dial pays tribute to the timeless codes of classic watchmaking, while reinterpreting them with an elegant modernity. Faceted and shaped like a two-edged sword, the hands count off each second, each minute and each hour wth the full precision of the self-winding chronometer movementi
at the heart of this prestigious timepiece.
There the sun is rising, while here the day is drawing to a close. While on the horizon the sun is setting into the night, on the Cellini Dual Time it gradually appears in the aperture at the bottom of the dial.

The Cellini Dual Time model grants its wearers the gift of temporal ubiquity. With a quick glance at the dial, they are simultaneously aware of the time here and the time elsewhere. To differentiate daytime hours from night-time hours, a sun or moon symbol transits the aperture at 9 o’clock on the sub-dial. The hour hand can be set independently by successive “jumps” to adjust to a new local time zone, without disturbing the functioning of the watch or the chronometric precision of its self-winding movement.

This Watch Uses Liquid To Tell You Time!!!

HYT H2


As the title states there is a watch that tells you time using a liquid.
Watch a video of the timepiece below.

The liquid seems to come in 3 colors.
A lime green, sea blue and bright red.
The interesting thing about this timepiece is that it actually uses 2 liquids.
Water Based and Oil. Based Liquid
8 days Power Reserve

This brand is actually a co-op between Hydro and Audemars Piguet Papi
They have designed the timepiece to look like an engine and have done so beautifully.
The timepiece uses the liquid to display hours and has a sapphire display for the minutes and a normal hand.
The timepiece uses a retrograde for the hours as well which is very nice considering it uses liquid to do so.
It also has a temperature feature which tells you the temperature of the liquid.

The timepiece now has 19 different references and will be available world wide.


Swiss Watchmakers & Co. Provides Service and Repairs for Luxury timepieces at reasonable prices.

Rolex or Omega Watch Service starts at $369 with Refinishing and Polishing

Thunderbolt on your wrist

MB&F: Horological Machine No. 4 Thunderbolt
This time piece really catches the eye! It sure caught mine!
This watch is very neat, to put it bluntly. 
It comes in along with a collection of MB&F watches. 
It will cost you about $158,000 to have this gadget on your wrist.

The HM4 Thunderbolt simply tells time like a traditional wristwatch. It includes a power indicator display in one window and another display of the current hour and minutes.


Now to dig deeper into the HM4 Thunderbolt's Components and Specifications.
There are two crowns, as shown in the image of the movement above.
The complete watch has five sapphire crystals.
The case is made of Grade 5 Titanium and Sapphire. With a total of 65 components in the case, one is a sapphire crystal.
The engine, developed by MB&F, is composed of 50 jewels and a total of 311 components. The power reserve lasts for 72 hours.
The strap which is a hand-stitched calfskin strap has a titanium/white gold or red gold custom designed folding buckle connected to articulating lugs.
The gorgeous addition of the hand-stitched calfskin strap makes this watch all the more remarkable in my book.
Having that watch on my wrist would get me into that slicked-back-hair, cool-guy greaser mood. It reminds me of an old '50s car.

Starlit Sky on your wrist

Audemars Piguet - Ladies Millenary Collection: Starlit Sky
This is my second women's watch so far!

This is a perfect gift for that significant woman in your life. If she loves the night sky and diamonds in one, she will be star struck.
This gorgeous piece of art has a bracelet with technological silk and a diamond-set 18-carat white gold AP folding clasp.
The crystal is made of anti-glare sapphire crystal. The case is made of luxurious platinum.
The crown is set with a blue cabochon sapphire. My favorite addition to watch crowns. 
What makes it so unique is that half of the numerals are Roman numerals and the other half are Arabic numerals printed in matching shades.
The dial also includes diamond applied hour-markers, and a starry night sky decoration. Beautiful white gold hands, that remind me of sword blades, tie the dial together.

The Starlit Sky has 45 jewels, has 316 parts, is water resistant to 20 m, and has a power reserve of 55 hours.

Cartier Vice President had an Accident!

It's mid week and I thought I should write about a ladies watch for a change.
I don't believe I've ever reviewed a ladies watch on this blog up to date.
I've choosen to write about the Cartier Crash
Why? Well because I found it strange that I haven't written about a ladies watch yet so I decided to write about a watch I found strange.
With a price tag of about $70,000 that could have been spent on the car that instead hit the watch.
 
This watch comes in a 18K pink gold or white gold case set with brilliant-cut diamonds, beaded crown set with a brilliant-cut diamond, silvered opaline dial , blued-steel sword-shaped hands, 18K pink gold bracelet or white gold and if that isn't enough there's one with diamonds, wrist size: 170 mm, mechanical Manufacture movement with manual winding, caliber 8970 MC, Case dimensions: 38.5 mm x 23.1 mm. Thickness: 8.8mm.
Cartier themselves don't have much to say about the latest crash timepiece, I mean who could this watch is.. well strange. But anyhow this is what they said.
Cartier:"Created in 1967 in the heart of Swinging London, the Crash watch captures the incredible energy of the city at that time. With its asymmetrical dial, it revolutionized the esthetic codes of watchmaking history. Consistently released in a very limited series, this legendary piece carries the prestige of its rare nature."
Ok so ladies and gentlemen the history for this timepiece is even weirder. The story goes that a Vice president from the Cartier offices in London, was involved in a fatal car crash. A fire ensued and the occupant along with his watch was caught up in the flames, furthering along the fatality and "melting" the watch on his wrist, a Cartier Bagnoire Alongee, which is shaped like an elongated oval. The watch being melted and mangled took on the shape of a surrealistic watch from a Dali painting. The powers that be at Cartier, found this "watch design" actually inspiring, and decided to introduce is as a new design, and as a tribute to their fallen colleague. Thus the "Crash" watch was born.( in Great Britain the slang for a car accident is "crash")

A few decades after its creation the Cartier Crash became a limited edition timepiece the latest crash model only has 267 limited watches. Odd number of course.
Cartier is known for making beautiful artistic timepieces and indeed this is an artistic timepiece but I still find it strange.
So Cartier took their destroyed Bagnoire Alongee and simply launched it as something new and called it artistic. But it has seem to have caught on and sold well since it's launch in 1967 once it was turned into a limited edition in 1991 it truly caught on with Cartier collectors.

Today I'll be sharing a few repairs with you one that I fell in love with
A nice Rolex and its Date indicator that is in for service. You can see it with its date indicator removed below it also shows the beautiful black dial.

As we continue you can see more and more of the Rolex parts, I honestly enjoy just seeing every little part and envisioning  how when all put together each part works with one another to keep accurate time and show you your date all in a classy style.
  The next repair displayed below is an IWC that I fell in love with. To be specific I fell in love with the dial.The way the hour indicators are shown is simply mesmerizing indicating your year and month on it/perpetual calendar. 7 day Power Reserve and of course the moon phase that is very flashy

Thank you all let the Holidays begin early

As the the final Quarter and holiday season Swiss Watchmakers is sought out by many people to revive their timepieces. 
In the past few years Swiss Watchmakers took the business to an online level.
We thought there are many people who are unsatisfied with amateur watch makers so lets offer them the top of the line work.
The idea came to fruition slowly as we were a bit privatized only serving dealers, jewelers, and collectors.
Many people didn't know about us.
But now we are known throughout the United States not to mention in Switzerland (We were already known in Switzerland prior to our online launch).
Normal everyday people could now get the best possible service.
This would save the time and money.
You can get the same Service from Rolex and Omega as us but they're turnaround time isn't the greatest.
Rolex and Omega also exchanged everything on your timepiece. Everything.
So if you have a new looking crystal they would still change it and charge you.
So we decided we'll offer Full Service plus parts needed to make the timepiece function perfectly,
but we decided that we would offer aesthetic parts and let the client decide if they want them or not.
Now back to the reason as to why I'm writing this.
As our online business has grown in the past years we have a very high demand on repairs.
So I'm going to make an offer to have a bit more space to breath.
Most people send in their time piece 3-4 weeks before the New Year.
This causes us to have an over abundant amount of repairs.
So I am offering a 10% Discount (Promotion Code: Holiday10) for all Holiday repairs that are sent in early November.
This is to help us serve you better and is also a Thank you for choosing Swiss Watchmakers.
It has truly been a pleasure to grow with new clients and have many heart warming experiences with many of you.
From returning a 60 year old to a grand father who thought the timepiece was irreparable, which we actually had the opportunity to skype his son while he returned the watch  to his grandfather.
A truly touching moment.
To birthday gifts, anniversary gifts, or many other special occasions.
