If you have severe arthritis, I’m not quite sure sitting at a Watchmaker bench and playing with the tourbillon cage on this Jaeger Le Coultre is for you.
The gentlemen that was in charge of most of the creation of this piece is certainly very “Metal” looking. There are Read more

Here is another Tourbillon with multiple complications that came in. It had a few unique problems so I’ll post this one.
It’s another Christophe Claret caliber (amazing execution of precision) that puts smiles on my face as I rip it down and diagnose the mysteries under all those tiny little parts. This one has some setting mechanism problems Read More >>>

Tourbillon Repair / Christophe Claret / Leviev

Not sure many of you get to see one the World’s most incredible Tourbillons outside of it’s case, especially inside the U.S.A. boarders. Special tools are needed just to get inside this baby. Once inside you need special tooling designed for the movement to do anything. So, if you are a Watchmaker and considering having a dabble inside please consider a second option. This movement is art that needs a no time limit work approach and many years of repetitive knowledge. Repetitive knowledge. Repetitive knowledge in micro mechanics and Tourbillon experience to open and tweak away.
This is a Tourbillon made by Christophe Claret and sold to a Read More >>>

Audemars Piguet and Jay Z

I just wanted to back track a bit and give credit where credit is due. I wanted to thank Audemars Piguet for stepping out of the usual stuffy Swiss ambassador area they were stuck in and somehow on a Monday morning meeting they embraced greatness.
The collaborative efforts of AP and JZ simply changed an industry. Before Jay Z it was the usual stuffy concert violinist or a “safe” actor to represent a brand. A fan myself of Audemars Piguet ( I have owned quite a few ROO’s) I must say this opened many doors for many people in Hip Hop who did not understand what a quality top of the line watch was.
A watch encrusted with diamonds with a $20 quartz movement inside does not make it a watch!
