Panerai’s new Radiomir Regatta Split Seconds PAM343 is amazing! 47mm Titanium Radiomir case with Split Second OPXXI 40 Jewels movement. The watch features a exhibition back and curved sapphire crystal. The model is a limited edition 2010 model commemorating the Classic Yachts Challenge.

While not anything extremely different from any of Panerai’s offerings, its a very cool 47mm Radiomir with a Split Seconds Chronograph, something my collection would welcome with open arms.

Jaquet Droz launches a new SW Chronograph, using their new more modern and sport watch design. I am a big fan of Jaquet Droz’s gentleman’s watches, and while I like the SW Chronograph, I’m not sure I like it as much as I like their more traditional offerings. The pushers and crown are cast Rubber, creating a unique feel.

The movement uses a modified ETA 2671, and is named the Gresso G1. The watch has two crystals on the front and two on the back and one more somewhere else, which I cannot find, all sapphire.

I have just tried out a new cleaning product designed specifically for watches called Veraet. I filmed a video of the first time I used this product, and how I felt they product seemed on first impressions. Overall a decent product. I’ll use it a few more times before I do a written review of Veraet Watch Cleaner.

Here’s the Laco Flieger Watch Video review that I posted to Youtube, as a follow up to my previous written review of the Laco watch here, around a year ago. Its taken me a long time to get some of these video reviews up, but I will – I promise! Enjoy the video.
