Audemars Piguet "Get in the Chopper!"

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a robust man as is Audemars Piguet
they have both collaborated throughout the years.
I'll be displaying the Audemars Piguet The Legacy Chronograph
The watch was made in a limited amount of 1,500

It comes in a massive 48.00 mm by 14.10 mm case
Aramide fibres with titanium over-sized pin buckle. Additional black crocodile strap
This timepiece has a staggering 50 jewels 

For a man who has won Mr.Universe and Mr. Olympia on more than one occasion
as well as govern the state of California the Audemars very much fits this man well.
I've seen some of Arnold's watches personally when visiting Swiss Watchmakers & Co.
But some of them looked bland and just over-sized. But this Audemars Piguet fits his giant wrist perfectly while maintaining the classiness of the timepiece very well.

Swiss Watchmakers & Co. Provide the highest quality of work on luxury timepieces including Audemars Piguet Simply simply go to their site by clicking one of the links, fill out their 1 minute form and send in your timepiece without ever leaving the comfort of your home.

Well this concludes my small post... "I'll be back"

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

Breguet Clasique 3797

Breguet


Another watch that was released at Basel World 2014 was the Breguet Clasique 3797
This timepiece is a diamond in the sand.
It truly stands out from the rest.


The watch is shown in their video below

Oh the wonders that Breguet has done in this timepiece.
The Breguete Clasique 3797 shown in the video has a White Gold Case and Dial in 18-carat gold, silvered and engine-turned in four different patterns. Individually numbered and signed Breguet.
Roman numeral written on a sapphire disk for hours!
This Perpetual Calendar Tourbillion is simply stunning and filled with features.

Patek Philippe 5990/1

So it's been a while since I last posted.
I apologize for that greatly on a side note the page has now had over a Ten thousand hits!
I would like to thank you all for coming to the page and reading my little bio's/reviews on watches.


Alright so now lets dive into watches.
As many of you know Basel World 2014 showcases various new timepieces.
So I will be covering that, well recovering since I'm a tad late.


Patek Philippe
Patek Philippe released a new Nautilus timepiece that extends its long line of Nautilus collection at basel world 2014
 
Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph
A wonderful addition to the Nautilus Family
The Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref 5990/1
features dual time on the timepiece

Now the last time I'd seen a Nautilus up close was at
Swiss Watchmakers & Co they were working on one while I was there and I was able to get some shots of it and wrote about it as well link is right here if you'd like to read

The one I saw at Swiss Watchmakers was beautiful, gold case black dial but it only featured Hour/Minutes/Date
The new Patek Philippe Nautilus features the same things as the old one but it also has Seconds, a Chronograph and Dual Time.
Now this is a significant amount of changes throughout the years. As some of you who have followed my posts for a while I love Patek Philippe because of how they can make the complex seem simplistic.
They have not failed to do so here.
The dial isn't cluttered at all its perfectly placed, organized and easy to read.
I must commend Patek Philippe for doing this so well as many watches have these features but their dials are cluttered or the timepiece itself is huge, Patek Philippe have been able to keep the timepiece at a nice size and show the features beautifully.

Measurements
38.5 x 44
Crystals
Both are Sapphire
Case 
 Stainless Steel

Sidenote: It's good to be back

Opus X

It seems to be a Harry Winston kind of week.

Now my significant other has actually written about the other opus models but today I will.
I choose the Opus x to start of with.
I actually made up my mind while writting this that I will write about every single Opus model until the release of the Opus XIIII which I will of course review and then end the Opus saga for now.
Ok now back to the Opus X

The Opus X was made in a very limited amount only 100 pieces have been made.
The Opus series as of now has 13 different models

With a power reserve of 72 hours
46 mm case in White Gold
Displays Hours,Minutes, and Seconds using Modules
There is also a 24 hour rotation 

This timepiece is very beautiful and intricate 
On the back of the Opus X you have a see through case, a power reserve display and an inside look to the movement.
Harry Winston has marveled the entire world with the Opus collection 
They did that yet again with the elegant Opus X the beautiful module display makes this timepiece very appealing, not to mention the complication that goes behind there timepiece.

Harry Winston Withstands Mike Tyson

Sorry I haven't had time to post the last few days.
But I do have something nice to start off today.
I got a chance to visit Swiss Watchmakers & Co. 
I've gone there a few times either to have a timepiece fixed or just to see if they have a nice timepiece for me to review.
I have to admit these are very friendly and professional people, just the fact that they let me bug them while they work is very kind.
Not to mention that they share my posts on Facebook and Linkedin.
When I went they had a Harry Winston that seemed to have gone through a fight with Mike Tyson
I went back a few weeks later and they had already finished the timepiece.
A few weeks to complete a Harry Winston in mist of other repairs, that had to be some kind of record because from what I know Harry Winston takes 2+ months.
Well anyhow they told me that the client wanted full service and a matching strap.
Now the watch needed to be "cleansed" before being sent out and I couldn't touch it after that.
But I did get a shot prior to that and the timepiece looks stunning.

Well anyhow that's the first post for today I'll make a few more as the day progresses.
