In this atmosphere, time stretches and contracts to house mile. A road may seem an unlikely source of inspiration for a luxury sports watch, but when it is as famous as the Montauk ... a picturesque strip of asphalt 100 miles starting in New York, traces a path through eastern Long Island and empties into the sun, surf and style of the Hamptons, it's much easier to do. At least that seems to be the thought of Audemars Piguet, to launch this year. Audemars Piguet in June 2009 launched a limited edition of 300 numbered units. Royal Oak Offshore "Montauk Highway at a retail price of 20,500 Dollars This special edition model has style and good taste to the collector. The bright blue and bright emerald on the tachymeter scale and Arabic numerals for the hours is amazing, without being shrill, and the rich tones of chocolate in the sub-areas of the lap counters, create a nice contrast against the pure white dial and revel in the details. Then, of course, not surprising that the brown alligator strap with stitching Hornback emerald blue, almost as luxurious as the polished steel case, warm glow and superbly finished. This beautiful belt works wonders on more than one variant of this model, including the navy or Safari, and it is less effective in editing the Montauk Highway. Adheres to the wrist through the clasp famous "AP" that cleverly doubles flagship brand. Created in 1875 under the signature of two young lovers of fine watchmaking, Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet, and in order to design and produce in the Joux Valley, Audemars Piguet started growing gradually as more later known as the cradle of watchmaking. That was how the conviction but also the talent and the desire to create original pieces, innovative, unique in its kind, enables them to achieve success quickly. By 1885, the two partners set up a branch in the city of Geneva and in 1889, enter into trade relations on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition in Paris, where he presented various complicated watches pocket. Over the years, manufacturing Audemars Piguet develops, giving priority to creating high quality models, but always continuing its tradition of innovation Audemars Piguet among many other creations that have marked the history of Haute Horlogerie, which totaled a record number of world firsts, you can highlight the historic and prestigious Royal Oak, introduced in 1972, characterized as the first luxury sports watch produced in steel, which will revolutionize the codes of Haute Horlogerie, and will see its perfection 20 years after the Royal Oak Offshore, the beginning of another legend and a continued success. This line, which now accounts for half of sales of Audemars Piguet, under the inspiration of the octagonal hatch British war ships, eight screws interns exhibits 18 carat gold, and stainless steel and gold. Its success has been completed with new creations like the Royal Oak Dual Time Royal Oak or Offsshore. The latter is a perfect mechanical work, whose extraordinary case has been made after more than two years of research and testing. The story of the mythical creation of Audemars Piguet emerged back in the 70's, comes in a context of liberation, from the feminist struggle until the conquest of space and the feats of biological research. In this scenario prevailing in the ephemeral, Audemars Piguet drag all the trends, launching a new challenge that asserts its technological and stylistic: the creation of a truly original clock.

Wow, that 1665 dial looks great, any full shots? Damn, I couldn't decide between a 1680 and a 1665 DRSD for a slim case PP, I hope the 1680 will turn out equally amazing. Any chances for another Singer blanks run, when these are done? Soldering feet might damage the print and I don't think I'll be content with a ETA based mf franken when my dial looks that good.1 point

Dead cool? It’s a rock’n’roll rebel watch! With its playful and slightly tongue-in-cheek air, this impudent piece rebelliously thumbs its nose at anyone who takes themselves too seriously. A totally "kick-ass" watch, it wouldn't look out of place on the wrist of any number of rock stars on stage or out and about in the city. This surprising watch from Hublot is the perfect fusion of a rebel spirit with a deft and daring sense of elegance, never losing sight of the "vanitas", the symbol of the transience of life which remind us how fragile and brief our time is, and that we must live each moment to the full... This is the Skull Bang, a piece made entirely from black ceramic and featuring an attractive stylised skull on its dial. It is already a collector's item, limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, and has been specially developed by Hublot for the brand's friend and long-term partner in Paris, Laurent Picciotto, a man whose flair has made him a legend in the watchmaking world, and one of the first to demonstrate his belief in Hublot by opening the Swiss watch brand's first boutique in the world in 2007 at 271 Rue Saint Honoré in Paris' 1st arrondissement, where this limited edition will be exclusively available. Thank you Mr Picciotto! Note: Not my text/pictures1 point
