The 30CP’s movement pays off all those years working for the legends. Lass draws inspiration from sprouting leaves to inform the design of his balance bridge. He also moves it from its normal position, resulting in an empty space. He fills the void with some engraving and a stud holder from replique zenith montres the end of the hairspring fixed to a smaller bridge. (You can see it in his prototype photos; just note that the movement is not yet decorated).Is a Seiko SRP777 better value? Also yes. But I have had two Seiko Turtles and what I really wanted was something smaller, closer to the 62MAS in styling, and with an upgraded movement, so the SPB143 checks those boxes. With an MSRP of $1,200, I don’t think this needs to be your first Seiko diver, but it may well be your last. There is a glut of competition in the space, but I’ve owned most Seikos that caught my eye and none have scratched the itch so successfully.A trip to the Lange boutique followed, having never actually handled one of their watches before. And when Kim looked at the newer size of the 41mm Datograph Up/Down, he found it a little too large for his wrist. He saw the 1815 Chronograph, finding the size just right, and eventually settled on the older 39mm Datograph in rose gold with ivory dial. “When I wore the watch on my wedding day, I thought ‘Wow, I came farther than I thought. I feel like an adult.'”One of the most obvious classes of deadly watches is the radium dial watch. Of course, you aren’t going to die from wearing a lumed watch today, even if it’s radioactive – but people did die, or were horribly sickened, in the process of creating them.Finally, thanks to Longines, we have an actually affordable option on the list, running only $3,150, and it’s their first-ever zodiac timepiece. I hate to tell you, though, it’s already sold out. So much for waiting to open your presents until Chinese New Year.
This was one of the most highly anticipated lots in the Only Watch sale, generating a ton of buzz amongst collectors since it was unveiled back in July. It’s honestly not all that surprising that it has now reached such heights, setting a serious record here. To add a little context, this chronograph surpassed the price achieved by Philipe Dufour’s Duality at the Phillips Winning Icons Auction in New York last month, and that was already something to get excited about.Mainspring technology continues to advance although, as with many other aspects of mechanical horology, improvements tend to be incremental rather than revolutionary. Mainspring production nowadays, thanks to the precision necessary in modern watchmaking, as well as the complexity of the alloys and metallurgy used, is largely automated. There are however occasionally signs that more dramatic advances might be possible.The caseback looks different here, as well. Instead of the classic scaphander diving helmet we’ve come to recognize on this line of watches, TAG replaced it with a compass engraving meant to encompass (don’t hate me) the full breadth of its outdoorsy capabilities. Behind that closed caseback is the TAG Heuer Calibre 5 Automatic.The modern Santos sits very comfortably as one of Cartier’s most successful billige falske ure designs in the current catalog. Perhaps it’s a touch more wearable than the Octo Finissimo and it’s a little more within budget too at $32,000 – though if we’re talking solid gold watches, then budget sort of feels arbitrary.Since the early 70’s, it has become standard operating procedure to add a leap second to account for the fact that astronomical time is 2.5ms slower than atomic time. In fact, between 1972 and 2016, a total of 27 seconds have been added as the rate of the earth’s rotation slowed. Over time, that rate of slowing has, well, slowed, and projections are showing that the change in mass at the earth’s poles will push the need for a negative leap-second correction as soon as 2026.Yuna started his journey selling jewelry and watches in the Kaplan building on 47th Street, at the same booth as Jacob Arabo. Jacob, Ben Baller, Avi Hiaeve (of Avi & Co.), and their Diamond District cohort all started with a “chop shop,” according to Yuna. “It was up to the individual to tighten it up, make it sexy and get it to the masses.”
Joe is a medical student and Ph.D. candidate in Atlanta. A few years ago, when he was browsing watches in Las Vegas, his two older brothers decided it was time for him to get a nice watch. He chose this NOMOS Orion because of its sleek, elegant, and simple design – but what he really values about it is that it represents his relationship with his brothers.I came to realize that I hadn’t really been looking for the watch for all those years – I’d been trying to recapture that infectious excitement of falske ure discovering watches, devouring obscene amounts of information on the internet, researching obscure limited editions from faraway lands, and connecting with others who were doing the same thing.Based on the original specification sheets, modern-day Type XX and Type XXI watches are all flyback chronographs and typically feature retour-en-vol, or “fly back” in script on the dial. Most of the chronograph movements Breguet uses in the collection today were originally developed by Lemania, which Breguet acquired in 1992, a few years prior to bringing its signature pilot watch line back.As for results from last week, I am happy to report that one of the nicest Tudor Submariners to ever come to market has found a new home for $80,000. The 1930s Geneva Sport Chronograph sold relatively quickly at the asking price of $6,300– congrats to PeteAron on the pickup! On eBay, our Old England “Jumbo Baignoire” sold in a flash at $199, and the Bulova Accutron for Hershey Chocolate Company was marked as sold at $749. All in all, the column was four for five last week. Great work, everyone.For now, business at Hermès is unassailable. Perhaps business is so good that any watch launch would prove a growth in revenue? Whatever your stance on Hermès being a bona fide watchmaker may be, The Cut stands as a neatly packaged answer to demand from today’s consumer and helps establish Hermès as a watch brand rather than a luxury house that also makes watches.But, for a certain type of connoisseur, it’s those earliest 911s that are the most special. There are significant but subtle differences that set these cars apart from later models, and they make all the difference. After all, these were the cars that started a revolution.
