Omega: Question regarding the Aqua Terra Annual Calendar

I saw the first pictures of this watch during the Basel show and after that, nothing until I saw the post about it a few days ago. I still do not see it listed on the Omega website. Is this watch currently available in the US? Any idea what the MSRP is? Thanks Raghu Mani

Haven't seen any posts about Breguet's Marie-Antoinette watch replica so I'd thought I'd post a couple of links. Click here and here . Sorry if this is a duplicate post. Raghu

Breguet: I guess you are right

Breguet: Various thoughts on this year's Breguet models

Just some random thoughts. I really wish that Breguet would take a break from tourbillons for a few years and give us other complications.

Glashütte Original: The Swatch Group and Union

Slightly off topic but has anyone been to the Swatch group website of late? If you go there, take a look at their brand listing. You'll find Union classified as a "Middle Range" brand - along with Tissot, Calvin Klein, Hamilton etc. Above this, you have the "High Range" consiting of Longines and Rad

WatchRap (Archive): Is Franck Muller still associated with the brand?

As Jaw requested, moving this question to its own top-level topic. Anybody have any idea. Some time ago, there was news that he had left. Has the situation changed? Raghu
