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

DeuxMonkey is the Name

First and foremost I would like to take the time to thank so many wonderful fans and friends who have sent such loving words and gifts. You all are truly so wonderful. It feels great to have such a wonderful outpouring of love. Thank you all for caring and the concern. I’m doing a lot better now and have some fantastic new news.
I’ve launched the beta version of my first project’s web sites DeuxMonkey and DeuxMonkey Myspace . We will be entering the studio shortly. We are in beta at the moment so be patient.
I hope you all enjoy the music that we are creating. I do not plan to stop playing ever again. So far the input has been simply overwhealming and the entire band is very excited to play live.

An Open Letter To My Fans

An open letter to all the wonderful fans, friends and family that has shown me so much love during this trying time.
I am home and live to riff another day. For those who know me closely are quite stunned that something such as this can happen so suddenly to a person who has worked out each and every day of their life, strict diets of no red meat for so many years I can’t count, no drinking, no smoking and just an all around healthy person. Lately I had been having a Read More >>>

Eterna Madison Spherodrive

Our Swiss friends at Eterna research and development have discovered an entirely new way to mount the barrel. I would love to have a rip down on this movement to see the end play between the bearing and barrel arbor after a simulated 3 years of use. Looks like the balls are ceramic as well. I wonder if this will end the oblong wear (such as what happens on Rolex barrel bushings). Nice job Eterna Read More >>>

Audemars Piguet and Jay Z
Sunday, April 5, 2009 16:24
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!
