Learning about polishing techniques at Armin Strom; they go down to sandpaper with a 1 Micron roughness!

Getting up close with the Lederer Dual Detente Escapement

The new Fears Redcliffe ES has fantastic Lume

The watch journalism panel led by Wei Koh of Revolution was a lot of fun.

We were very warmly hosted by Piaget at their beautiful Geneva Boutique

This is a solid gold cuff watch with a coral dial from the early 1970s.

We greatly enjoyed the opening party!

Getting hands on at Urwerk

The polished Titanium and 6 O’Clock crown at David Candaux were incredible

The amazing Urwerk EMC. The handle is to charge a capacitor which then allows a timing monitor to tell you how to regulate the watch using a screw on the back

The Ulysse Nardin Blast Free Wheel with a Constant Force Tourbillon at 6 O’Clock

We took Club Members on a fantastic trip to meet watch brands, see watch Manufactures and Atelier, and enjoy the Geneva Watch Days show.

Rolex Dive Watches like this Deep Sea are often seen as good value for money when purchased new as they are extremely well made, reliable and very popular, plus the Rolex brand is the world's most well-known.

Three Watches from British Microbrand Studio Underd0g - https://underd0g.com/

These Lange 1 watches are exclusive and popular, so people wait a long time to receive one. Their fame, beauty and unique movement make them very expensive, but they can still be very good value for money if bought sensibly.

This is a vintage Piaget Dress watch. Deep research into the watch before purchase would be very sensible to avoid mistakes.

A Christopher Ward C60 Trident Bronze GMT that was in the author's collection for many happy years before it was recently sold to make room for a new watch, at a very good price but one much lower than it was purchased for.

We look what it means for a watch to be good value for money.

A wide range of Bremont watches at our Event at their boutique. Boutique events are a great way to get an overview of the price of all the watches from a particular brand.

A small Rolex Oyster from the 1950s. This was impossible to spot as a Rolex unless you were very close.

A Greubel Forsey Double Balancier Convexe, a watch so expensive it makes sense to fly to Switzerland or another low tax location to purchase it.

We take a look at the many factors that go into the price of a watch.
