“People think of them like family members,” said Sebastian Laws, owner of Sutton Clocks on the fausse omega montres Upper East Side of New York City, when I called to ask about the historical anthropomorphizing of the grandfather clock. “They’re big and imposing and they’re always on; they have to be on in order to work.” They require commitment, and engagement.Still, he hasn’t exactly sold off the big boys. In fact, he’s never sold a watch. Traded, maybe, but not sold. The pieces you see here are the ones he’s feeling right now – and only one overlaps with the examples he showed Ben seven years ago.In my real life, I'm on the hunt for something old and gold, but I know enough not to tip my hand until I've found the one.

One of the most impressive bits I saw was the parts packed in plastic rolls. They get fed into machines and assembled automatically, and complete modules come in no time.Brand: OmegaModel: Seamaster 300MReference Number: Ref. 210.90.42.20.01.003Diameter: 42 mmCase Material: Bronze GoldDial Color: Matte BlackIndexes: AppliedLume: Super-LumiNovaWater Resistance: 300MStrap/Bracelet: Bronze Gold mesh bracelet or integrated black rubber strap.
It's summer, and you know what that means – long, hot days, filled with cold drinks and vintage watches. Ok, maybe not everyone's summers are replica cartier horloges filled with vintage watches, but this is HODINKEE we're talking about here.Photographing vintage watches at HODINKEE is a challenge in the best sense. The tones of tropical dials and color casts of vintage cases need to be matched with care and precision, and in the case of this Day-Date, the white gold was not a pure grey but over time had turned a slight champagne color. Not quite grey, not quite yellow – I knew I had to nail the color.Why It’s Expensive: Well, for one, it’s a Rolex, and expensive is kind of what they do. Ignoring, for the moment, that very few folks have actual access to even spend the $9,500 of the asking price, the Explorer II is expensive due to the brand on the dial, the general build quality and refinement, and no small amount of the Veblen effect.And then, to make it more interesting, I'm going to have a real-life expert tell me if I am indeed the fine watch collector I fancy myself to be – or if I'm just a philistine who's down a theoretical 100k and has nothing but a pile of junk to show for it.
One thing to note is that when you have a steel watch from a brand like Vacheron, the devil is in the details – it's about case and bracelet finishing just as much as it is about aesthetics and movement quality. The bracelet here, I can say after wearing it for some time, is absolutely on par with the very best in the business – I would, just for comparison's sake, love pas cher rolex submariner to put this bracelet next to that of a Royal Oak and a 5711 Nautilus to see what's what.Price: $3,495 (steel with silver or navy dial), $3,595 (steel with grey dial), $3,795 (rose gold plated steel with silver dial)Availability: May/June 2018Limited Edition: Stainless steel model with grey dial is limited to 888 pieces.

Enter the Mido Commander Shade in a plated gold finish shared by its rather perfectly-suited Milanese mesh strap.The Black-Coated Monaco is not the playful Skipper from 1968 and it’s not the revolutionary “Steve McQueen” Monaco from 1970. “The Black-Coated Monaco is a near-perfect design that juxtaposes the omnipresent darkness of the 1970s with brilliant bolts of color from better times,” Biebuyck says. “For collectors, the many mysteries surrounding the watch are part of its appeal, leaving them to see what they want in the watch, whether the past, the present or the future.”For the pieces I was able to handle, I am partial to the black DLC variant. Autodromo calls one of the accent colors red, but to me, it reads as an almost neon pinkish color that really drives home that certain 1980s design ethos. The brushed steel case variant is a close second.
