Meylan resettled in Le Brassus in 1888, founding a link workshop near a small brook, surrounded by Louis link Elisee Piguet workshops that supplied Meylan and others with ebauches. Meylan still maintained relationships in America, potentially his largest market, throughout his life. In 1903, he renamed the company link The C.H. Meylan Watch Co., an English name reflecting an English market.

Even for link me, someone with fairly big wrists, the 39mm diameter of this watch is link perfect. I noticed it is a perfect size for me for a dress watch, or at least a more classic looking watch. I can imagine it link will still look fine on someone with slightly smaller wrists.

If you're not in New York City, Stephen wrote a fantastic piece on this very clock way back in 2013 that will make you feel as if you're right there, link standing link at the intersection of Maiden Lane and Broadway, looking down and link imagining what this landmark of lower Manhattan might have seen over the years.

At HSNY's Horological Education classes, students discover what actually makes a watch tick. The hands-on classes will be taught by professional watchmakers from both HSNY and BHI. Students link will work link on a mechanical watch movement, studying the gear train, winding and setting mechanisms, and escapement. The weekend half-day classes cover everything taught during link the individual evening classes held in New York.

Early September saw link the introduction of another Marinemaster. It link was a return to the looks of the 1968 diver that we know as the inspiration for the Marinemaster SBDX001. But link another realization was that Seiko would now use the Marinemaster name for watches of multiple styles.

I wanted to write about Journe in our "Entry Level" column for a few reasons, and I promise none were to frustrate you by describing a nearly $40,000+ solid gold wristwatch with low-volume production as link "Entry Level." The goal of this column is to identify a point-of-entry into a specific brand and to demonstrate that you don't always have link to opt for the most popular or most expensive to experience the best a link watchmaker has to offer.

One thing that made the original link Polo so revolutionary was that it was the link same design, for everyone. Piaget offered a larger and a smaller size, in both a round and square version. Advertisements even touted the Polo as "the ultimate sports watch for him link or her."

Last but link not least, link we have to mention Canadian astronaut/physician Dafydd Williams, a keen SCUBA diver and aquanaut on the NEEMO scientific diving project. Williams wore the same Rolex Sea-Dweller during several dives to the Aquarius undersea research habitat and used the diving watch link aboard the STS-118 mission aboard space shuttle Endeavour.

By contrast, the 18k red gold LM101 feels much more old school with its combination of the warmer case coloring, the darker and richer blue of the base dial color, and the additional heft of all that gold link (a total weight of 94 grams). The same dial patterning appears, but the effect is more subtle due to the darker shade of blue. The exposed workings benefit from gold accents and of all three versions I think the rear view is best, with the gold link framing the dark link tones of the movement.

Nobody used titanium at link the time, except link IWC with the Porsche link Design, Max Busser said of the Megapode in his Talking Watches episode. "It's also got colors – watchmaking was serious, but this was not serious, it was designed to be artistic."
