In the video below, NOMOS Glashütte shows how the master watchmaker creates the in-house movement. All of their movements are built in-house and by ourselves in Glashütte. This also applies to their watches—Tangente, Orion, Zürich and all the other models. This short film can give you a first impression of what they do.

AP was founded in a small town called Le Brassus, in 1875. It is in the heart of Vallée de Joux, Switzerland. Back then Vallée de Joux was mostly known for its mountain ranges and its farming. During winter, the lands stayed dormant while the villagers turned to watchmaking. Many families in Vallée de Joux was well-known as watchmaking families. Audemars Piguet is still independently owned by the families of the original founders.

While AP is a very popular and renowned watch brand that brings in close to one billion dollars in revenue, Audemars Piguet is the oldest fine watch-making manufacturer that is still managed by its founding families. This allows AP to pave it own and unique path in the future of watchmaking.

Through their 140 year history, AP has kept the pace high with new innovations and high tech mechanics that change and inspire the watchmaking world. Audemars Piguet were the first in the world in 1858 to create a pocket watch incorporated with jumping-seconds hand. AP inspire to create new mechanisms and improve the watch world.

4.Audemars is the master of Complications

AP has kept the founders’ legacy of creating the greatest complications out there. There are only a handful of watchmakers in Audemars that have reached that point of creating such amazing complications. It takes up to 4 to 6 months for a watchmaker to build a grande complication.

No, this watch cannot kill superman but it is indeed named after the radioactive compound that is known as Superman’s only weakness. URWEK seem to always have a theme for their timepieces, this time being Kryptonite. The latest addition to the URWERK UR-105 CT collection is this glow in the dark timepiece nicknamed “Kryptonite.”

This new version of the watch only has a couple changes, being the color variation. The fascinating feature about the CT collection is the protective cover hinged on to offer a partial view of the time display.

In the dark, the hour markers and minute track emit an intense green light while the seconds indicator and the power reserve emit a blue glow. What makes this watch so amazing is the contrast between these glowing colors and the black matte of the case.

This timepiece is up for CHF 65,000 or USD 65,324. I am sure many superman comic lovers will have their eye caught on this precious timepiece.

The dial features a chocolate brown hue with contrasting blue hands that create a nice tone. The one thing that catches my eye most is the beauty of the Arabic numerals made of solid rose gold and appear as they are floating. The proportions of this watch are so perfect that makes it an epic watch.

This Urban Jürgensen is the latest addition to the Reference 1140 series that has featured dials in a variety of colors over the past few years.

Jumping inside the watch, is the hand decorated in-house P4 caliber with Swiss Lever Escapement, a twin barrel, and a 72-hour power reserve. The timepiece measures at 40 mm and is matched with a brown alligator leather strap and with a solid rose gold folding buckle and clasp. The price for this beauty is marked at 29,900 Swiss francs or around 30,000 USD.

Recently, Pope Francis has been gifted a Harley Davidson which was auctioned off for 280,00 Swiss Francs. The auction later helped build a homeless shelter home in Rome.

Argentina, where the Pope was born, is the country with the second-most Armenian population after the US. Armenian based Watch brand Kerbedanz, has gifted a timepiece which differs from any other piece.

On the dial of this timepiece the traditional time indexes have been replaced with the origianl Armenian alphabet, which consists of curves and entangled angles.

The dial consists of solid gold covered with micro sculptures and subtle guilloché design. The bracelet appears to be a beautiful dark navy leather which contrasts the gold of the dial very nice.

This timepiece is extremely unique and is dedicated to the traditional Armenian language.

It’s safe to say that this Kerbedanz is priceless!
