Ulysse Nardin Freak Phantom Watch

This year Ulysse Nardin?changes the name of its Freak Diavolo watch to the "Freak Phantom." I can't say why that is, but I suspect it has to do with conservative types who take issue with the fact that a watch is called "devil." That is the watch industry for you... What else has changed?

The reasons and effects of this are varied and complex, something I don't wish to get into for

Tissot Sculpture Line Moonphase Baby Breguet Watch

Likely no coincidence that Tissot created a timepiece like this and both Tissot and Breguet are under the same umbrella company - the Swatch Group. While Tissot is best known in the US for their awesome T-Touch timepieces, and other sport watches, they do actually offer some nice classy pieces as well (though a good deal of those are harder to find in the US).
