WatchTime December 2008 issue arrived!!!
I went to check the mail today and my December issue of WatchTime arrived! Some fun facts that I found inside:
Rolex produced 728,256 watches in 2007 and all were certified chronometers by COSC.* 249,000,000 Number of times the balance wheel in a standard mecahnical watch moves to and fro over the course of a year.** 42,000 The number of watches Patek Philippe produces per year.** The Last minute on page 250 features the article "Who Owns What: An Update" by Joe Thompson. This gives a basic overview of which companies own which brands in the watch industry. WatchTime subscribers were also treated to a 112 page Omega Special Issue! I highly suggest a subscription of WatchTime magazine to any and all members here at TRF. Well worth it! A perfect holiday present this season. To Subscribe you can call 1-888-289-0038 or by visiting their website: www.watchtime.com *page 50 and 60. **direct quote from page 60.

WatchTime is right up there with the best in watch magazines (I daresay it may even be the best). Joe Thompson is a great guy - very unassuming and knowledgeable when I met him some years ago at a Panerai event in Florence; I was told he's a legend in the watch journalism world. Good to see that he's now running the show there.

Thanks Chris. I must look for Watch Time.
Patek only produce 42,000 watches. Puts Rolex into perspective

Only ever get a watchtime when I get sent the new Breguet catalogue (they always send the same pro breguet mag).
Decent magazine...real lack of watch magazines on the shelves in the UK. Fair enough....probably be a bonus as I'd only want more watches and Claire would kill me! Jim |

thanks for the info.watchtime is a great magazine.picked up the August edition when i was in dallas this summer.great read,had a wonderful review of the milgauss and a very nice in depth look at IWC.felt the mag was real value for money and one of the better watch publications on sale.promised myself i would take out a subscription when i got back home but never got around to doing it.here in the uk the only publication iam aware of is 00/24,which has lovely pics but tends to focus more on the higher end of the market.
