Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Ceramic

This is a full ceramic watch (case & bracelet), a ticking cult object in my eyes. The Royal Oak is sold for 91.800 Euro including 20 % VAT and almost impossible to get. Audemars Piguet is doing an excellent job these days!  

 

 

Omega 'Railmaster'

The first Omega 'Railmaster' was built for railway staff or anyone who worked close to electrical fields. Shielded by an inner protective case, the watch was able to resist magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss, guaranteeing reliable precision for the wearer. By comparison, most antimagnetic watches at that time offered protection at only around 60 gauss.

Montblanc '1858 Chronograph Tachymeter Limited Edition 100'   The 1858 Chronograph Tachymeter is sold for the first time with a retro-vintage dial in salmon-colour featuring a sunray finishing reminiscent of historical Minerva timepieces that had dials of this distinctive colour. Completing the design the chronograph features large historical luminescent cathedral-shaped hands with a cloisonné design, blued chronograph and second hands for utmost refinement and better readability, luminescent Arabic numerals, a classic minute railway track and the original Montblanc logo from the 1930s era with its historical font and the emblem of the Mont Blanc Mountain.

I can tell you Raynald was very proud yesterday! 

“Alexander, of course I am, since we have created a truly innovative workspace, but the real value of this new building is efficiency. We have been able to now combine all of our assembly and testing processes under one roof. That means a complete consolidation of work that will help Omega to become much more productive and streamlined than ever before.”

 

I asked Edouard Meylan to tell me this story and to make the link to his great grandfather Octave Meylan:

 

 

 

 

When you read through the information about the new watch Hublot claims to "present the first mechanical golf watch with aperture display". This is not the first mechanical golf stroke counter for the wrist, but the first with an aperture display. Years ago Jaermann & Stübi presented such a watch. It also was a mechanical counter but the scores where displayed through the center hand on the inner and outer bezel.
