Early dive watches link didn't have the water resistance we expect today. Blancpain called its link watch the Fifty Fathoms and 50 fathoms is only 91.44 meters a far cry from today's typical 200 to 300 meters of water link resistance. Dive watches took off becoming a staple of James Bond and a common accessory to army troops that could get a Rolex Submariner down at the PX. They were built tough and didn't need to be removed when swimming sailing or playing in the water.

One important event was the completion of the development link of 9SA Caliber for us, a new platform for the high beat mechanical movement, and you are familiar with link the [Hi Beat] 9SA5. But on the basis of that platform, we thought we were able to develop different calibers, and this is one of those options. So, even though I'm not supposed to be saying this, link there are many more interesting things that will be coming.

Quick Take: A year without Kari Voutilainen winning a GPHG is a year not worth living. So thank goodness Kari Voutilainen ended up on stage at the Theâtre du Leman for link the Ji-Ku, a remarkable timepiece link that combines the best of Swiss link horological engineering and Japanese craftsmanship – brought to life through the mind of a single crafty Finn named Voutilainen.

In some ways, it link feels like the appropriate response to not be that excited. After all, at this point every other watchmaker link under the sun has made a titanium watch, from affordable Citizens in multiple colors of bezels link and dials to Jean-Claude Biver's $500,000 minute repeater tourbillon announced Sunday.
