Pretty sure that I am a long way away from the target demographic, and it pains me to say this about a brand that I like a lot, but by heck this is one ugly watch - http://blog.perpetuelle.com/watches/ric ... ourbillon/

Saw most of these this morning on Instagram. I like the lugs on the new Radiomirs. That new AP ceramic diver and the new ROO ceramic chronograph is beautiful.

Yes I saw this one earlier. It's an odd one as there's some very cool aspects to it - the transparent composite case for one - but unfortunately the whole is most definitely less than the sum of it's parts.

Perhaps this is a tribute to the new Muppets movie that is currently in production..........

A. Lange & Sohne seems to be bringing some heat this year too with quite a few new pieces. This one will steal the show, though: http://blog.perpetuelle.com/watches/201 ... g-seconds/

Only 6 will be made. Case diameter of 50mm . . . As if the price wasn't enough to make me not be able to wear it.

Yeah, that's nice. Full Lange collection here - http://blog.perpetuelle.com/watches/sih ... ollection/ I like the Lumen a lot.

IWC Silver Arrow is an odd beast, not at all sure about the brown dial - http://blog.perpetuelle.com/watches/iwc ... ef-iw3785/

But I think that this is a winner - titanium dual time with a list price under $9,000 - http://blog.perpetuelle.com/watches/iwc ... ef-326403/

Same case treatment for split second chronos (like these too) - http://blog.perpetuelle.com/watches/iwc ... -ref-3865/ Looks like IWC is getting more aggressive on pricing too - under $13,000 for a ratty!

Full IWC collection here - http://blog.perpetuelle.com/watches/sih ... ollection/

A little bit different, but this has to be one of the most readable QPs ever produced - http://www.watchonista.com/fpjourne/new ... -perpetuel

The Lange Grand Complication is just :drool: What an absolutely stunning piece!

Some seriously nice watches this year. The Oris is cool and the JLC Duometre is also very very nice.

I need to spend more time looking at all of this, thanks for the links.

Not a big fan of IWC's INGs but the ceramic case is very nice and the double Chrono ing is hot too.

Cartier WOW!!!

I think I posted something about a year or so about a visit to the Cartier boutique, and this echoes exactly what I said then. Those guys are really pushing the envelope with some really cool pieces. And believe it or not, these 2013's arent even their coolest pieces imo.

I recall this thread. I really like a couple of the new Cartier pieces. I still can't get over the brand being more traditionally focused on jewelry, though. I put Cartier in the same playing field as Bvlgari and Chopard. That's not to say Cartier is not making some stunning watches, and I'd certainly put one on my wrist over the latter two brands, but I personally need more time to change my perception of the brand. Each year, it gets a little closer.

You might benefit from reading some Cartier history around watches - it might surprise you.

Parmigiani Fleurier collection - Toric Tecnica is nice, the rest, meh - http://blog.perpetuelle.com/watches/sih ... ollection/

And summary of the APs - http://blog.perpetuelle.com/watches/sih ... ollection/

From GTE Yvan Arpa's newest creation. If you are familiar with the ArtyA designs this will make more sense, but still very cool - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCJBb64LMh0

JLC at the Purists - http://jlc.watchprosite.com/show-forump ... 40538/s-0/

Summary of GTE at the Purists as well. You may not be familiar with all of the names, you may not like all of the designs, but you have to appreciate the innovation of the independents, some absolutely stunning pieces here - http://basel.watchprosite.com/show-foru ... 39903/s-0/
