How does one go about trying to find a job in the watchmaking industry?
I am a financial advisor working in the financial services industry. I am building a professional and successful image in front of my clients. Could you please tell me the most popular brands that sucessful financial advisor/managers wear? My buddget falls into the range of US$2000 - 3000. In addition, can you recommend some good stores in Hongkong?
I am considering buying a Glashutte watch and would like to know more about their reputation and positioning with respect to other luxury watches makers. Also, how do you compare to A Lange Sohne? Thanks. Rgds.
I am currently interested in buying an automatic EDOX (Chronograph) . Since this is a significant investment (about USD2000) can you please advise me if this is correct investment which will benefit me in the long run.
I am going to spend about $5,000 on a new watch. I currently own a Rolex Thunderbird and a Rolex GMT so I'd like to try a new brand now. What brands would you suggest are a nice fit for my taste?
I am interested in collecting new watches. Please advise me of how you would go about choosing a companies watches to invest in ($2500 - $7500) range. For example would you choose to collect from one company or limited additions etc...
Please give me an idea of some companies you would consider.
I am interested in watch shows in he United States, similar to Baselworld. I have been collecting for years and would like to know of shows where I can see and learn more about watches.
I am interested on learning the trade of watch making/fixing. I have a master Degree in Electrical Engineer and I find myself pretty bored at work. I have always been interested on watches and I think I have mechanical abilities (as a kid I took apart everything I got my hands on). So can you please advise/direct me on how to learn that trade. I leave in the Portalnd Oregon, NW USA. Thank you
I am looking for a rolex watch as an anniversary present to my husband. I found a 2003 Thunderbird which I like very much. Does the fact that the style has been discontinued make the watch more collectible? What about resale value on any of the Rolex watches in general? The watch I found comes with the box and paperwork from a reputable dealer. The hologram is still intact.
I am overwhelmed looking for a nice, classic watch for my finacee, where do I start? with a budget of about $1000-1500?
I have been shopping for a self winding watch. A local store carries Ball watches, and I am considering a purchase. I have also looked at Tag's (carrera) and Omegas. I like some of the features of the Ball (and price), but don't know if they are close to the ciliber of the others or a wise buy.
I have come across a watch from Libia with Khadafi"s picture on it. It looks like the make is Clmax. can you tell me anything about it?
I just came across a company called Klaus Kobec. Do you think you could tell me a little about this company and and its quality.
I would like to know more about Mauboussin Watches. It seems that nothing much and not much advertisements about it. Thanks
I would like to learn more about how watches, how complications work, etc... What kind of books can I look for and where can i found them? Also what Websites would you suggest?
I'm a college student who recently started to collect watches and would like to know if there are any quality, well-known brands that you would like to recommend that won't break my pockets too much.
Should I buy a watch on the Web? If so, what should I look for in order to make sure I'm not getting taken advantage of?
SHOULD YOU WIND YOUR WATCH UNIDIRECTIONALLY OR IN A BACK AND FORTH MOTION?
ALSO- I AM INTERSTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT WATCH HANDS ( I.E. SHAPE AND DESIGN ETC.) AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND INFORMATION ON THIS TOPIC. FOR INSTANCE, TONIGHT I WAS ADMIRING THE "POIRES" HANDS USED IN THE AQUDYNE BY DUBEY AND SCHALDENBRAND, BUT MY WATCH REFERENCE BOOK DOES NOT DISCUSS THIS DETAIL.
Thinking about purchasing the Chase-Durer Special Forces 1000 XL as a "weekend" watch for sports and other activities. What is the reputation/quality of this company and watch?
Where can I get a replacement leather watch strap for my ladies gold Frouga watch made by Mauboussin?
