On the subject of watches, it's been announced that Omega is going to release a new model along with the new Bond feature, "Skyfall". From the first pictures released, the model ("Aqua Terra") looks fairly elegant and understated:

For everyday wear? Definitely Rolex. Modern or vintage. Robust, accurate, delightful and 'emotionally' engaging.

Second favorite? Jaeger LeCoultre. Dress watches, in particular.

Another house that has my attention? Vacheron Constantin. Extraordinary, wafer-thin and lovingly finished references in their current catalogue! And past. You'll find some exquisite reconditioned vintage pieces at a handful of their boutiques, such as in Paris.

My three regular wears are Rolex Sub, Breitling Chronomat, Cartier Tank, the first during the weekend, the middle one during the week, and the last for evening wear.

Like looking at IWC; the Portugeuse is a pretty watch!

Agreed, Aston, Portuguese models are handsome watches.

Admiring that one right along with you, K.

Always look forward to visiting the Breguet Boutique on Place Vendome to admire all that's new and historic on display.
