Earlier today, we showed you the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Limited Edition that will use a hand-made strap from world reknowned polo boot makers Casa Fagliano.  In this special edition of HODINKEE Field Notes, we’ll take you inside the workshop of these true artisans to show you just how this family of Argentine men (with Sicilian roots!) have come to be known the world over by not only championship riders, but celebrities, presidents, and more than a few kings.  This is a study in how things used to be done, and after viewing the Faglianos at work, we can say how things should be done.

The Sunday before SIHH kicked off, we paid a visit to the just opened M.A.D. Gallery, a new concept store owned and curated by MB&F.  The shop is unlike any other in the world, and if you make to Geneva, it would be a mistake not to visit.

Inside the gallery you will find a host of things that, while not produced by MB&F, are very much in the same vein as their machines, both horological and legacy.  Here are three of our favorite pieces from our visit, three pieces that don’t tell time.

Question by The Clown Prince of Crime

I think by now the whole IWC has learned Undertaker personally handpicked Wade Barrett to face him at Wrestlemania 27:

http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/article/injured-wwe-star-backstage-at-smackdown-this-week-120977

From Batista, Edge, and Shawn Michaels (twice) to Wade Barrett…..as of now I can’t decide whether this is foolishness or kindness on Mr. Calaway’s side. Sometimes, I really can’t understand how his mind works -_-

Either way, when the time comes, I think I can respect his choice.

But personally, what three things u expect from the match if the match happens? Name only three and tell a detailed why for each. Best expectations will win 10 points.

My personal hope:

1. 19-0 (obvious)
2. The match can be a Wrestlemania classic, at the very least on the level of Taker vs Diesel (WM 12) or Taker vs Flair (WM 18). Better if it can reach the level of Taker vs HHH (WM 17) or Taker vs Batista (WM 23). Any lower than that then Y/A will never hear the end of it from me.
3. Wade Barrett uses his push like Randy Orton did at 2005, which means winning multiple world titles, winning Royal Rumble once, winning a Feud of The Year award once, main eventing Wrestlemania, and becoming one of the biggest names in his generation all in the span of the next 5 years. I’d curse him till the day he retires if he dares to use his push like Kane did (spending 2/3 of his career jobbing) or like Mark Henry did in 2006 (admitting he didn’t care about his push cause he only did it for money and went lower mid-carding till the day he retires)….or worse, like Giant Gonzales did in 1993 (quitting the company before the year even ended).

Best answer:

Answer by The Artist Formerly Known As J.S.R.G.
Three things? The only thing I expect is to see Nexus get destroyed by The Undertaker.

Question by Deawon C Delaney

Where ever you go in the IWC the one constant is that the PG era sucks and they need to do away with it as soon as possible, but I ask you this what really is the difference. Okay you dont have bra and panties matches, hot lesbian action (which we never got anyway fuck you bischoff), toilet humor, tirades of constant swearing, bleeding profusely etc, but to tell you the truth is any of that needed anyway to produce a good wrestling product. People praise old school wrestling but they had none of those things, but what they did have is charasmatic heels, and believeable faces that you cared for, as much as people yell for the Attitude ERA to come back are you going to remember Austins middle finger or the wrestling clinic guys put on night in and night out. The problem is the wrestling and the storylines (which are not limited because of non swearing), no memorable or lasting feuds that are givin time to develop, and especially no emphasis on what a title means.

The “wrestling school” that the new superstar rookies came from. That’s it.

Question by The Clown Prince of Crime

1. Seeing how they ended up schooling the whole roster, IWC can never say Undertaker & Triple H are too injured and too old to wrestle anymore.
2. At this point, even the entire HOF class doesn’t deserve to end The Streak.
3. Triple H vs Undertaker last night was HHH’s greatest Wrestlemania match ever. The drama when HHH told Taker to stop fighting back was greatly overlooked for unknown reasons.
4. Undertaker really needs to get rid of that lame Ain’t No Grave and change back to Rest In Peace.
5. HHH gave Undertaker the second worst beating at Wrestlemania. First place eternally belongs to Masked Kane at Wrestlemania 14. At least Kane didn’t go out with an injured wrist.
6. Since the match lasted 30 minutes, some people calling it ended too soon is weird.
7. When u put Taker against a credible main eventer with adequate charisma or skill or both at Wrestlemania, he’ll give u the ride of a lifetime, something that never happens when he was pitted with talentless mid-carder who don’t know what the hell were they doing.
8. Taker vs HHH at WM 27 was better than Taker vs HBK at WM 26.
9. Last night just proved the saying “Shawn Michaels is Mr. Wrestlemania. Undertaker is Wrestlemania” even truer and deeper than before.
10. After watching The Undertaker’s last 5 Wrestlemania performances (WM 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27), the word Wrestlemania retired and renamed itself The Undertaker. From now on, any question related to Wrestlemania such as the best feud or match should be adressed by “What is the best match in the history of The Undertaker?” or “What is the best feud to take place at The Undertaker?”

U can take it either seriously or not (^^).
Before it’s too late, please don’t take no. 10 seriously. It’s meant to be a joke.

Agree with all except 8-10.

Question by The Clown Prince of Crime

1. John Cena vs Batista (RAW vs Smackdown! Brand Supremacy)

Batista is now a heel, and he has defeated Cena once. Batista and Cena are arguably two kids’ favorites in this PG Era, and Batista himself has stated that he would retire at Summerslam 2010, making Wrestlemania 26 logically his last WM, and I don’t think Vince is stupid enough to let this one go.

2. Undertaker (c) vs Chris Jericho (Last Ride Match for WHC)

This might sound crazy, but I don’t see Edge returning at Royal Rumble 2010 and challenge Jericho for the title at Wrestlemania 26 like 90% of IWC are hoping for. I can see WWE giving Taker easy matches (even during TLC PPV), so that he will be able to participate in elimination chamber and WM 26. I personally see Jericho winning next year’s rumble and goes on to face Taker in a gimmick match to end the feud. Why did I say to end the feud? Simple, their feud starts this month. And next week they will go one on one for the first time, and I don’t see Vince putting the same match for Wrestlemania (judging by how Vince treated Taker on the last six Wrestlemania, that is). And why did I pick Last Ride? Three reasons:

a. Taker has fought in both HIAC and Casket before at WM, and needless to say, both matches s*cked because he faced two talentless apes. But both matches ended Taker’s respective feuds with Boss Man and Mark Henry. Only two gimmick matches invented by Taker left to try at WM, Last Ride & Buried alive. I don’t see Taker participating in Buried alive until his last WM, so my vote goes for Last Ride.

b. To rise the anxiety, because Last Ride is a No DQ match then Jericho can use whatever things he find to bring Taker down for his own advantage. Honestly, I think almost everyone pretty much realized, that after defeaing HBk, there’s no way anyone other tan Cena can defeat Taker in one on one singles match.

c. To see another five star match after 13 long years in WWE. Believe it or not, Taker vs JBL at No Mercy 2003 was rated 3 star!! I don’t see why Taker & Jericho in a limitless stipulation match cannot be a 5 star match!!!

3. Triple H (c) vs Shawn Michaels (WWE Championship)

HBK has stated in an interview earlier this year that WM 26 might be his last because he wants to see his children growing up, and no matter how much IWC are dying to c HBK vs Morrison at WM 26, I don’t think anyone other than the man he shares history the most with would be perfect for his last match….for the WWE championship at WM 26 main event.

For short, I think in WM 26 we will see Icon vs Icon, Five Star Match, and the most emotional WM main event ever!!!

What do u think? Why?
Edge won’t return until after WM 26, he himself has stated it. He will most likely return after Backlash.
