Although the brand of Bucherer isn’t as extravagant as Discount Patek Philippe Watches, this pair of couple watches is no mediocrity. The His watch has perpetual calendar while the Her watch has speed timing function. Moreover, for both the men’s and women’s watch, Bucherer has used diamond mosaic design on the bezel and dial. With a rose gold case, this pair makes a perfect luxury babe with its three-in-one combination of crafts, material and functionality.
“We decided to create this unique watch for Only Watch 09,” says Thierry Stern, Vice President, Discount Patek Philippe Watches , “because astronomical indication watches remain among the rarest type of complications and are also one of the most intriguing ones. The sky and stars are a source of dreams and hope, hope for the better as made possible by the organization of Only Watch.” “What first impresses you when you look at the watch, (other than its beauty),” says Sandrine Stern, Head of Creation at Patek Philippe, “is the luminosity and depth of the astronomical dial. It features hour, minute leaf-shaped openwork rose gold hands and a polished rose gold calendar hand with a half-moon sandblasted shaped tip to indicate the date on the perimeter of the dial. In addition to the date indication, it features the four points of the compass – north, south, east and west, and ‘PATEK PHILIPPE GENEVE’.”

100 Die as Kyrgyzstan Opposition Claims Control
The growing Kyrgyz uprising against the government of President Kurmanbek Bakiyev appears to be well out of the security forces’ control, as despite police killing upwards of 100 protesters the demonstrations continue and seem to be accelerating.
President Bakiyev is said to have fled the capital of Bishkek and relocated to Osh, along with the defense minister. The interior minister is missing and rebels say he has been killed.
Bakiyev came to power in 2005 as part of the State Department funded Tulip Revolution. Growing allegations of corruption against Bakiyev have led to protests, and the president’s attempt to crush the protests by closing newspapers and radio stations fueled even more discontent.
Many of the rebels include former members of the Tulip Revolution who have become disillusioned with the Bakiyev government. Former Prime Minister Almazbek Atambayev and former parliamentary speaker Omurbek Tekebayev have both been arrested and accused of playing a role in the uprising.
The US reports that the military base at Manas, a key supply route for the Afghan War, has not been effected by the latest revolt. Exactly where the US stands on the situation beyond that is unclear, but the Obama Administration was reportedly irked at Bakiyev for attempting to close the base in 2009.
