FP Journe Chronometre Optimum Watch: Timekeeping At Its Most Optimal

One thing that has always turned me off about haute horology pieces is the sheer uselessness of the complications watchmakers devise for their flagship timepieces.? Any number of these complications are really just exercises in devising the most complex and obscure ways of measuring the passage time C or some correlated component therein.? And while they are interesting experimental design studies often worthy of praise, they are just unnecessary C plain and simple. While many of these incredible timepieces represent the pinnacle of design and manufacture in the watchmaking industry, t

Oris Big Crown X1 Calculator Watch

Usually Oris "Big Crown" watches are rather retro. This one isn't as retro visually and feels like something a helicopter pilot would have worn during the Vietnam era, or even today. Though none of that is what the watch is based on - at least through name.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Jarno Trulli Limited Edition Watch

A new Formula 1 driver -based watch from Audemars Piguet is this new Royal Oak Offshore Jarno Trulli. Boy, it sure is nice, but looks very little like where these watches looked as though they have been evolving. It is possible that ending with the AP ROO Grand Prix, designer Octavio Garcia felt that the designs of brands race themed watches was getting too wild. While I liked the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Grand Prix watch - it is safe to say that it is a controversial design. You can also see the AP ROO Rubens Barrichello II watch here (another F1 driver). Thus, it isn't hard
