A Couple Of Watches,

one for Diana and one for myself,


well as I mentioned in the previous post, Christmas is just 119 days away! firstly for Diana a Blancpain, this one Ladybird Colours Phases de Lune 3662B 1954 95B or if pink is a little too feminine, they are available in other colours, 

like this one for instance, Ladybird Colors Phases de Lune 3662A 2954 55B other colours can be found here

the movement is just 4.58 mm thick having 30 jewels in it the watch has a 100 power reserve and consist of 243 components, naturally these watches do not come cheap, the pink at £38,200 or the green at £32,500, 

 
and for myself from the Revolution team a Atelier Wen the Ying colour which features a dazzling silver dial that has been hand-turned in a diamant or diamond guilloché pattern that gets progressively finer towards the middle of the dial,

 the raw dial takes approximately 36 hours of continuous turning any slight deviation in the accuracy of the process renders the dial unusable as the distorted refraction of light is visibly noticeable, and the resultant failure rate of this particular dial variant is therefore approximately 50%,

the watch has 32 jewels, with a 41 hour power reserve, and compared to the ladies watch a snip at £2,610, and it includes a 5 year guarantee! well that's Christmas sorted out!
