Robb Report Watch Collector Edition

[clenz]

Anyone see the latest Robb Report Watch Collector Edition?

Great articles on Geneva, and how the watchmaking really started there based on Calvinist laws that forbid jewelry - little choice for jewelers but to turn to watchmaking. Now five centuries later the Calvinist mentality is still obvious in their culture (refined discretion).

There are also some excellent articles about VC, PP, Piaget, Choppard, and other top watchmakers in Geneva, but nothing about Rolex. I guess they are too secretive to allow an article about their corporate structure.

There are some interesting reviews of some very high end watches that highlight some of the movement complications and features I have not seen before. If you thought your Rolex was high-end, you should see some of these watches that seem to start @ $150,000 - $280,000.
BTW - Can anyone explain what a tourbillion does and why I need one in my watch?

Very dissapointing that there are no Rolexes reviewed in the collector's showcase. Anyway, good information on the different approaches for movements, some future predictions for the watch industry (lubricant free silicon based movements), and some very cool watches!
