Just refreshed the Perpetuelle Baselworld page and things are really heating up today:

Some very interesting teasers from Omega including ceramic gold - http://blog.perpetuelle.com/watches/ome ... -and-more/

What will likely be yet another polarising design from B&R - http://blog.perpetuelle.com/baselworld/ ... s-horizon/

And another brand joining the bronze case group - http://blog.perpetuelle.com/dive-watche ... lor-watch/

Incidentally, if you aren't familiar with Thomas Prescher they havesome very nice pieces, although largely very high end until now.

I like both the yellow speedie and the B&R horizon. Interesting.

Agree, the 'artificial horizon' I've seen before in sub-dial designs but this takes it to another level, guessing it will be the 01 case (46mm) which is quite large for me.

Yellow Speedmaster may be interesting (probably not the price though :( ).

Interesting enough, but I'm not feeling any of those to be honest.

I agree. Although I'm curious to see what a rose gold Planet ocean will look like. If it's as thick as the new 9300 then it may be 50k worth of gold in there....that watch is thick!!!!

Sky-Dweller, eh? Personally, this might be the most interesting prospect for Baselworld this year. We'll see what Rolex has in the bag of tricks.

The GMT is a "Pilot Watch".........The first "Pilot Watch of the Jet Age" :wink:
I'm afraid it will be a 42 or 44mm. monster. :(

I've been a fan of Perrelet turbines, and almost bought one a few times, but this latest one might just have jumped the shark - http://blog.perpetuelle.com/dive-watche ... -for-2012/
