The Pros and Cons of a Church Wedding



http://www.pocketwatchpurveyor.com/blogs/news/17505493-the-pros-and-cons-of-a-church-wedding

For some couples, getting married in a church is a no-brainer. If faith is an extremely important part of your heritage or your current life, you may not have considered getting married anywhere else. But for others, those of casual faith, little faith, or no faith at all, the issue of wedding venue can be a thorny one. If the bride’s mother has her heart set on a cathedral and the groom’s father wants a quick-and-easy courthouse wedding, what’s a modern couple to do? The simple answer is, “whatever the couple thinks is best.” But it’s worth considering the pros and cons of a church wedding before you make that decision. For this article, we’re setting aside the issue of faith to look just at the practical considerations of a church as a wedding location.

FREE Engraving on Selected Pocket Watches in January

January is the time when many people start to make some serious decisions about wedding details.  Colours, themes, outfits, takeaways, etc. In my experience, many grooms forget about the thank you gifts for their groomsmen. Often they are scrambling at the last minute trying to find personalized items that can be shipped quickly.

Fortunately, I do ship quickly so I am often able to save the day. Unfortunately, saving the day comes with much increased express shipping costs and a much more limited selection of options for watch styles and engraving.

Save yourself grief and money. During the month of January, I am offering free engraving on select watch sets. Free engraving means a significant savings for your wedding budget and less stress for the groom as the big day draws near.

World's Most Complicated Pocket Watch Sells at Auction for $24.4 Million

http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/12/business/24-million-gold-watch-sothebys-record-patek-philippe/index.html?hpt=hp_c3

(CNN) -- The most "complicated" handmade watch in the world has been sold at auction for an historic $24.4 million.
The Henry Graves Supercomplication timepiece, made by the luxury watchmaker Patek Philippe in 1933 for the prominent banker Henry Graves, was sold at Sotheby's in Switzerland. The sale smashed the world record for the most expensive watch ever sold at auction, which was previously held by the same watch. In 1999, it was sold to Sheikh Saud Bin Mohammed Bin Ali Al-Thani of the Qatari royal family, for $11 million. 

The watch was released in 2014 to coincide with the 175th anniversary of the Swiss watch maker. The sale has benefited from the boom in Patek Phillippe auction values over the last 15 years. The term "complication" is a technical one, and refers to any aspect of a watch that offers a function that is not simply telling the time. 

The timepiece -- which has been called "the most important watch in the world," "one of the wonders of the world," and "the collector's holy grail" -- boasts 24 such complications. These include grande and petite sonnerie (chimes), which emulate the bells of Westminster; a record of the phases and age of the moon; sunrise and sunset indications; a "perpetual calendar" that makes automatic adjustments for month and year; and a celestial map of the New York sky.
