Interesting Reading - Revolution #7

[Watchmeister]

This weekend I picked up the latest double issue of Revolution magazine. Now I don't go out of my way to read watch magazines but they have an interesting section interviewing the movement specialists at the various Haute manufacturers. It is not only an interesting read to see what the watch companies are up to and where they are headed. It also is a fairly good way to learn about the various complications and materials being used in watches - whether it is the new Gyro-tourbillons and the various watch companies methods of adapting a traditional tourbi to rotate on multiple axis for better functionality in a wristwatch or the various methods of providing shock protection through materials or even use of "air shocks" to the use of new materials in upcoming watches. Too many things to bring up but I thought that for those who were interested it is a fascinating read - but it does take quite a while. At least for me. This is not going to improve your rep buying but it is fairly interesting.

Sounds like something right up my alley... I'll have to see if it's on the newstands locally.

Thanks for the tip.

I love the content of the magazine, but those double fold out covers drive me nuts.

Ubi-

Just reverse the front double cover and use a bookmark.

We have a magazine here in the Philippines which is all about watches and it's name is Calibre (most likely pun intended lol). The latest issue featured the IWC Father and Son watches.
