Camille Fournet is a Paris-based strap maker that provides these make or break accesories to watch collectors the world over (their bespoke offerings are quite popular indeed), but also supplies stock straps directly to manufactures.  Most of the time, this relationship is left behind the famed smoke and mirrors of the industry, but occassionally, you’ll get an idea of the caliber of watchmakers that use their products.  For example, the image below:

So, needless to say, Camille Fournet as it the top of their game.  Recently, French watch blog Les Rhabilleurs went inside the Fournet studios and shot the video above.  It’s a pretty cool glimpse inside one of those cult suppliers that everybody in the industry knows, but rarely gets the attention they deserve.  Watch the video above, and enjoy.

Question by Brendan Ryan

Example: A teacher makes the whole class stay after the bell has rang because the class was “chatty” all period. But most of the students in that class needed to catch the bus for a ride home. So if i was to walk out while the teacher told us to wait an extra couple of min.s after the bell has rang, and i needed to catch the bus or i would have to wait 3 hours for a ride home, could i receive any punishment from the school?

Our homeboys over at Park & Bond have something special in their vintage watch shop right now – a really amazing collection of new old stock Breitling chronographs from the 1970s.  Actually, they’ve secured a downright crazy lot of 80 of them, most with original stickers on the caseback and funky NATO straps. These watches aren’t the iconic Navitimers or Cosmonautes, but rather the esoteric models with Vajoux movements like the Datora, Sprint, and our favorite, the Pupitre Bullhead.

Again, they have 80 of these watches, so while only 10 or so are listed on the site right now, you can expect to see a lot more come through Park & Bond in the coming weeks.  If you’re looking for a vintage Breitling, this is a pretty rare opportunity to see a lot of them for sale in one place. 

To see a collection of new old stock 1970s Breitlings available at Park & Bond, click here.

FYI: The term “new old stock” means a watch retains all original parts and has been completely unworn since production.

You’re looking at the new machine from MB&F, only it isn’t called HM5 – no, no – this is the first machine in a whole new line – the Legacy Machine line.  Legacy Machine One, or LM1, is the first piece from MB&F that actually resembles a traditional watch, it’s also the first watch from MB&F that is, you know, round.  So what is the LM1? It’s the cumulative product of Büsser imagination, Giroud design, Mojon engineering, and Voutilainen finishing.  The LM1 is awesome, and here are the details.

Question by LPSR! Wrestling Matters!

He said John Cena has no talent, like Cena or not he’s a 9 time world champion… If John Cena has no talent and is nothing compared to The Rock, what does that say about the rest of the roster? Triple H got a lot of heat within the IWC for saying the locker room holds no more challenges for himself or The Undertaker… I’ve seen no one yet complain The Rock buried anyone in another Via Satellite segment… John Cena has victory’s over HBK, Triple H, Big Show, Edge… he’s beaten pretty much everyone on the roster.

Why does The Rock get to bury the roster? Should The Rock have really said that?

Thought/opinions.

Yes i get its scripted so if your only answer is to tell me that you missed the point, this question is >>> IN CONTEXT OF THE SHOW/ WWE UNIVERSE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT <<< Now if you can't understand that save me the trouble of having to read your answer, two points really aren't worth proving you can't understand questions in context.
Ohh how witty someone used The Rock's out dated catchphrases to answer because they can't actually think of an intelligent reply... *sigh*

Fan boy? That all you have kid? Thanks for proving you can't understand a question in context and assume I'm a John Cena fan because of what is said in this question... *sigh*

I can see this question is going to leave me wishing i'd never bothered even trying with the WS again... *Massive sigh*
Being buried has nothing to do with agreeing with the comments, how do i explain this... What The Rock said made the whole roster look bad in context of the show, IE wrestlers winning because they are better ect. you know the Kayfabe of the show is your champion is your best wrestler? When a 9 time world champion is insulted for having no talent and being a poor wrestler ON THE SHOW, it makes the whole roster who couldn't beat him look bad... We all know that's not how wrestling works BUT how it works and how its presented are two worlds. Triple H and John Morrison said whatever they did in the real world outside of the WWE universe, The Rock said it within the WWE Universe and in turn appeared to make everyone that beat John Cena look worse in comparison... The whole roster looks weak if John Cena is the top guy but The Rock tells everyone he's not in the same league as The Rock.

Does anyone actually understand this question in the kayfabe/context of a wrestling show? Anyone out the
A heel coming out and saying "you can't wrestle" is VERY different to a so called "WWE Legend" coming out and saying it, if Hulk Hogan had come out and said something like this to The Rock when they feuded it would have destroyed everything The Rock had worked to build. Peers playing a role and a WWE legend coming back and saying how much worse everything is now compared to when the legend was on top just makes the whole current era and roster look bad... is it just me? Am i going crazy? Oh i get it because "no one" likes John Cena its easier to overlook it right? If The Rock said the same thing about Orton it would have the same... might have got a different reaction though.

Question by Clark W-Shephard LOST

I see constant, and I mean CONSTANT, whining about how much better WWE would be if John Cena turned heel. Could someone please explain to me who would replace him if that happened? You want to turn the biggest star in the entire industry heel, a guy who the VAST majority of fans really like (the IWC is not a large representation of most WWE fans), with no plan for what’s next. You need a strong hero to take on great villains. (Also, I don’t understand how anyone can say Cena right now isn’t cool. He’s been, by far, the best part of the Nexus angle)

Sure, there’s Triple H, but Randy Orton isn’t a face (cheers don’t make a guy a face, nothing has changed in his actions in two years), Edge flopped colossally as a good guy, Jericho, Mysterio and Big Show aren’t superstars (in the sense that Cena and Triple H are), Shawn Micheals is gone and CM Punk would need a long build to become a face again.

So I ask you, how would suddenly flipping Cena heel make any sense or benefit the WWE in any way?

BQ: What do you think of Cena’s role in the whole Nexus thing? I really like it, but feel free to disagree. What about Bourne’s? Do you like him as Cena’s buddy?
BQ2: MITB: Are you excited for it? Do you think it looks strong? Which match are you most looking forward too?

Question by ASK HIM (Awesome Edition)

I don’t mind that WWE is now PG at all.I mean, apart from the blood, there’s really not much difference between now & then. True it’s not ideal,and blood can sometimes make a match look more violent ( or unconvincing & ridiculous) but you have to look at the positives too. There are a lot more young stars getting pushed nowadays, alongside it’s many talented main eventers. The Attitude Era was great , but the Title just seemed to alternate between The Rock & Stone Cold, with the odd HHH reign now & then.

A main arguing point seems to be Hornswaggle. And yes, the little freak makes me wanna puke, but it is just one of the many stupid storylines over the years, ranging across all eras of wrestling.

If you ask me the problem people may have seems to be this. As wrestling fans, we get a lot of crap from morons, saying that wrestling is fake & for kids. A PG rating, give our haters future ammo and cause to think this, and of course, we don’t like it none. This is just a theory, maybe I’m bullshittin, but that what I think.

But enough of that, what do y’all think?

Not really out of that league but they have to because the younger will stay with them for some time being like some older people today as of the past or early hood

So is it about who’s better looking: Robert or Taylor?
Is it about who belongs with Bella: Edward or Jacob?
Is it about which one is better: Vampires or Werewolves?
Im confused

Best answer:

Answer by Allison.
when the first twilight book became a movie it was about the better character and who belonged with bella.
when new moon came out, people who didn’t read the books or didn’t understand the characters started judging based on robert and taylor’s looks.
