Cyrus Klepcys Watch
Newer brand, new watch. Cyrus debuted late last year but I never got a chance to really check them out as their timepieces reminded me of wrist-mounted doomsday devices. Their flagship watch is Klepcys (still trying to properly pronounce that one) and it is a formidable piece of unique horology. The master behind the mechanism is Jean-Francois Mojon.

Now, some four decades later, Patek had to one-up those figures and launch the?5711/1P in a 44.05 millimeter-wide, all-platinum case. Here’s all you need to know about it.If the “P” in the reference number didn’t already give it away to all the Patek nerds out there, the 5711/1P features a small Wesselton (meaning rated very high on the purity/clarity scale) diamond set into its bezel?at the 6 o’clock position, to mark that it is crafted from the most expensive precious metal typically used for Swiss luxury?timepieces.?The bracelet, which has hardly changed since the first Nautilus in 1976 and is a hallm
