Perpetual calendars are extremely complicated buggers, so naturally, they're also the most expensive kind of movements out there. I find it extraordinary that the IWC has a year display in addition to the month, date and moon phase. Very cool.

IWC really nailed the dial design on the new Portugeiser series. Great stuff.

There is such a huge variaty of watches at sale and if you aren't careful you might end up buying a watch which is less accurate than a Kermit wat

I really wouldn't worry about boxes and/or papers. Unless the watch in question is incredibly special, the packaging was probably discarded. Best is that you find sellers who are reputable and pass through a large volume of watches on a regular basis. Put them in your favorite stores and track their auctions for a while. You'll get a feel for what's good and what isn't.

Sellers who know their stuff are often watchsmiths and service the movements and check for accuracy before the sale.

MB&F’s Horological Machines — as each of his watches will be named — are machines which tell the time rather than machines to tell the time. This distinction is crucial to the understanding of MB&F’s timepieces because they have nothing to do with the mundane necessity to read time and are all about the luxurious expression of time. Telling time with a MB&F Horological Machine 1 is an emotional experience in the same way owning a Ferrari Enzo or Pagani Zonda is an emotional experience. It is a mobile, high performance sculpture, bristling with futurist inspired styling and real functional innovation.

I looked at their website -- they are obviously planning to offer some more amazing timepieces in the future.

as i understand it..there will be 3 versions of one watch or 3 diffrent watches for each year.. with a production of 30 per year..
all in all 100 will be made..

Osnabrueck · 12-20-2006, 02:41 PM

I want to see what that thing looks like on somebody's wrist. It's got to be 70mm wide or so.

The Artist · 12-20-2006, 03:23 PM

there is a video where horacio pagani has it..you can see it briefly..ile try to find it for you later..

It`s very unique and expensive, I can`t say I`m fond of the idea or style. I`m looking at the band and wondering if you happen to have large wrists you might not be able to fit or adjust this baby and don`t ever loosen both bands because both sides will fall together causing a $100,000 repair.

The Artist · 12-20-2006, 05:16 PM

here is the video..now that i watch it..im not sure if its the same watch..looks alot like it though..but in steel..

it comes around at 01:21
