F.P. Journe 10 Year Anniversary Tourbillon Limited Edition Watch Hands-On
Last year in 2013, Geneva-based F.P. Journe released a timepiece called the Anniversary Tourbillon which was a wristwatch version of a pocket watch he made in 1983. The "30th Anniversary Tourbillon"was really about celebrating how far he had come since the very first timepiece that he produced himself. best watches covered the Anniversary Tourbillon here hands on, and for 2014, F.P. Journe has released a slight revision called the 10 Year Anniversary Tourbillon.While the first Anniversary Tourbillon was meant to celebrate Journe's first timepiece creation, the second model is a celebration of the brand's first boutique that opened in Tokyo in 2003. 2014 also marks the opening of the brand's 10th boutique around the world. So even though 2003-2014 is 11 years, the piece was technically done at the end of 2013. 10 years and 10 boutiques is actually a lot for a small boutique brand like F.P. Journe.

Zodiac Jetomatic Watch Review
Resurrected from the Zodiac archives, the Jetomatic introduces a new collection of pilot-style watches and was one of the important releases this year for the Fossil-owned Swiss brand. It is competitively priced, and its movement has an unusual feature in something called a swan neck regulator – but we’ll come back to that. To me, the Zodiac Jetomatic offers a straightforward tool watch, a piece of Zodiac brand personality, and a movement to get watch enthusiasts’ attention.Right away, its name tells you that the Zodiac Jetomatic is aviation- and vintage-themed (seems like everything in the 1960s was something-o-matic). The looks of the watch also do a good job at communicating those things. From the sword-shaped hands, pointy hour markers, and contrasting chapter ring to the big “onion” crown, this is clearly a “pilot watch” but without looking a lot like other popular pilot watches, which is a positive thing, in my opinion.
