The Day That Changed Watch Collecting - The Auction of the Graves Supercomplication - BusinessWeek
The Day That Changed Watch Collecting - BusinessWeek - Stacy Perman : The auction of the Graves Supercomplication netted $11,002,500, which is still the world record, 10 years later.
As Stacy Perman writes:
As Stacy Perman writes:
"Known as the Graves Supercomplication, the unique timepiece possessed 24 complications—or mechanical features in addition to timekeeping—including a different chronological function for each hour of the day, a chart of the nighttime sky over New York City complete with the magnitudes of the stars and the Milky Way, and a minute repeater that played the same melody heard in London's Big Ben.
The storied watch was the most ingeniously complicated mechanical watch ever created and required five years to design and build. Off the market for 66 years, it was also the ultimate prize in a 30-year collecting duel between Graves and the American automaker James Ward Packard, who spent a good part of the early 20th century attempting to acquire the most extraordinary timepiece with the greatest possible number of complications ever made. Both men wanted the best—and for that they chose Patek Philippe."

Fossil and Sunto Smart Watches Come onto the Market
Fossil and Sunto Smart Watches Come onto the Market according to a New York Times article by David Pogue at State of the Art: Microsoft's Latest, Strapped to a Wrist where it is stated:
"Starting next week, two watchmakers, Fossil and Suunto, will offer what Microsoft calls Smart Watches with MSN Direct, which Bill Gates has been describing in trade-show speeches for two years now. The twist is that these watches can download and display tiny bits of text information from the Web: stock prices, news clips, weather data. "
Pogue concludes that this is a watch for "gadget freaks" - but there are a LOT of those around. We shall see how the watch does. I predict it will be a big hit. Watches have always been a mark of one-upmanship Rolex-ing as it were, and this is just the next step forward.
