Graff Galaxy Ladies Watch
It really is like a galaxy of diamonds. Typically Graff is known for their angular shaped watches (designed by the same guy who designed the Corum Admiral’s Cup watches). This time though the Galaxy watch is more organic in spirit. A design theory that doesn’t always work, and of course requires the right women,... »
Panamera Convertible Back on Track
With Maserati’s four-seater GranCabrio convertible earning lots of envious looks, the impetus for Porsche to develop a cabriolet version of its Panamera sedan seems to have returned. Industry sites are abuzz with the news that recent patent filings indicate the once sidelined project is back on track. In a departure from earlier speculation that... »
Rolex BaselWorld 2010

Record-breaking Patek Philippe 5049P on JamesList
Last year, I spent quite a bit of time compiling some articles on some of the more high profile watch auctions. This usually means Antiquorum, and for good reasons as the auction firm is still soundly the field’s top dog.
