press release: a new mb&f hm2 cometh... the hm 2.2 an alain silberstein collaboration...
In more ways than one, Alain Silberstein has left his mark on Horological Machine N°2.2. A tiny, almost invisible inscription on the side of the case, reads: “Le vrai bonheur est d’avoir sa passion pour métier” (“True happiness is having one’s passion for a profession”). That is his motto, and he found his soul mates in MB&F. As he says: “The whole point was the pleasure of working together."

some changes to timetapestry... leaner and meaner ;)
hi all, i was surfing outside the comfort of my home today and when i decided to have a look at the blog it took FOREVER to load. too many big pics which i figure u all like so i ain't gonna get rid of em ...
so hopefully entering timetapestry won't be a pain and for new posts that u want to read u can expand on them. hope this works out for all :)
do leave me feedback if u want any other site changes and i'll see if i can sort it out... eg. if u would rather have the old format back where every picture & the whole post is shown without the expand/collapse feature do let me know. my return visitors may have as part of their timetapestry browsing clicked on the link and made a cup of coffee before returning to their PCs to read the blog in the past :)

the perfect watch gift for mrs. raphmeister...
The Corum Golden Bridge watch is a masterpiece of mechanical watchmaking, with a striking presentation that is utterly unique in the world of haute horlogerie.
Designed in its original form by the accomplished independent watchmaker Vincent Calabrese, and first offered by Corum in 1980, this watch drew its name from its extraordinary manually wound movement, which placed the winding works, going train, and escapement in a straight line, mounted on a single bridge made from 18K gold; displayed in a unique case with sapphire crystals on both sides, this horological marvel offered collectors an exhibition movement unlike any other. Now, Corum has updated this celebrated classic timepiece in a way that respects the original design, yet offers significant subtle updates.
