When C.J., a native of Phoenix, AZ, first got into watches about seven years ago, his wife gave him this 1970s Heuer Carrera, which had belonged to her late uncle. Not only was it the catalyst for his current collection – he also wore it when they got married and plans on passing it on to his son.The way watches are marketed to women misses the mark – and especially women in our age group, or even younger. I think women love jewelry pieces, and we love an iced-out moment every now and then, but in reality, we're gonna buy the "men's" version because it's cooler, or it looks better.It’s an odd footnote to the story because in other respects Ellison was a fastidious perfectionist. It’s sometimes said that Juneteenth is one of the most egregious examples of literary procrastination in history, but I think it’s more likely an excellent example of the perfect being the enemy of the good. In any case, if Ellison replica rolex milgauss owning and wearing a large, technical steel chronograph is weird, him owning one that can’t even be used as a chronograph is even weirder.One other variation on the theme worth mentioning is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel. Here there are two balances, however, they're on the same balance staff and cannot oscillate independently. Each balance has its own balance spring, with inner and outer pinning points opposed to each other by 180º – the idea is that the two springs will oscillate perfectly symmetrically and once again, tend to cancel out rate variations.Audemars Piguet Royal Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon Openworked, Lot 5, estimate CHF 300,000 to 500,000; F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu Furtif, Lot 21, estimate CHF 200,000 to 400,000; Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Marble, Lot 15, estimate CHF 150,000 to 250,000.Lightness is a priority in the Series 10. The aluminum models are 10% lighter than the previous generation. Most importantly, for the Series 10, Apple ditches stainless steel in the brand's premium lineup for grade 5 titanium. Fully polished and then PVD-coated in natural, gold, and slate grey colorways, this new premium lineup is made of 95% recycled titanium and now allows Apple to achieve carbon neutrality across the entire Apple Watch lineup.
The Ming 27.01: case, stainless steel, 38mmIn 2018, we expanded to Aspen with the purchase of the Panerai Boutique, with a breathtaking view overlooking the town of Aspen and its nearby mountains. This summer, we are continuing our growth with an Oliver Smith Jeweler boutique in Aspen, specializing in certified pre-owned timepieces. Oliver’s two daughters have both joined in the boutiques' management, expanding this family business to its second generation.The poster child nowadays for count down bezels is the Tudor FXD, designed for timing intervals of a charted course swum underwater – a kind of dead reckoning, in which you use a compass to maintain a bearing and swim at a certain speed over a certain span of time in order to reach a particular waypoint. There are a surprising number of count-down bezel watches out there in addition to orologi replica rolex the FXD, though – including models from Mido and Blancpain.Passersby noticed this watch on my wrist as I walked. There's a strong cohort of basketball junkies here at HODINKEE. And we had a hunch that aside from killer crossovers and rim-rocking dunks, there might be some serious horological heavy-hitters at the New York courts (or cages, as they're sometimes called). So we sent a photographer to confirm our suspicion, and what came back delighted and surprised.Framing the date window goes a long way here, and the black dial ring around the moon phase also ensures that the main highlight of this new model doesn't get lost in the details. While on this model we lose the hand-engraving on the balance bridge, I actually think from a design perspective, it's actually a good thing. The engravings would have clashed quite a bit with the guilloche, and this allows the moon phase to stand out and the rest of the dial to be more cohesiveWith this being a limited edition, I'm sure we'll eventually see a regular production version of the PanoLunarInverse. This one's certainly striking, and I'm curious to see how it evolves into the product line – one of these in steel would be absolutely epic.A GTD Pro driver for the winning Ford Multimatic team slumped off the stage, where I sat, pulled his watch over his race suit, and fastened the clasp. I watched him lift his wrist and stare silently, the Daytona's polished bracelet casting sunlight like a two-tone disco ball. I grinned and wondered what that moment felt like, but I knew I would never find out.
Rolex has released a slew of new watches at this year's Baselworld. You may have already seen (and drooled over) the new Rolex Daytona with blaFirst, one must understand that the craftsman in the Micro Artist Studio are top, top tier. They are the group that visits no one short of Mr. Philippe Dufour with some regularity, and the group that Mr. Dufour to this day holds in extremely high regard. This is true high-end finishing of the highest order, an until now, this has been reserved for Credor product. I'd always wondered why we never saw an insanely high-end Grand Seiko, and now we have.You'll find this wall clock included in the latest online sale at Studying the microscopic details of a single watch can prove a little bit confusing. One way to deal with that confusion is to create naming conventions to simplify the complexities. In the case of the Explorer 14270, it was not hard to come up with names to signify each of the four main variations of the watch which existed throughout its run, from approximately 1989 until 2001. In fact, the first name was already spoken for.For the most part, everything that Baltic founder Etienne Malec has created to this point has had a decidedly mid-century-inspired design – and mostly of the tool watch variety. This new release feels older, more classic. While the Aquascaphe is ready to take a dive to some long-lost shipwreck, the Micro-Rotor looks like it'd be far more at home at a supper club, on the wrist of a hand holding an after-dinner cigar.Today, my watch collection has expanded to include many watches that are objectively more "valuable" than the Breitling Aerospace. I find myself wearing this watch less than I Réplicas Richard Mille rm 010 did in my operational days. But when I do wear it, I am reminded of my past – service to this country and a few stories I will never be able to tell. It is the one watch that will never leave my collection and I hope that one of my great-grandchildren will have it on their wrist as a companion for their jIn lieu oIn lieu of payment for this article, @watchesofespionage has elected to donate to the Third Option Foundation. The name refers to the motto of CIA's Special Activities Center: Tertia Optio, There are different levels of Patek collecting – and some of the greatest vintage buyers I know have zero interaction with Patek Philippe today. Patrick, however, is one of the few who plays in both worlds and has a close relationship with the Sterns. So close, in fact, that when he purchased these two incredible examples of the 570, Thierry Stern himself made two examples of the 5196 to match the 570s. That, dear readers, is very special.Breitling had supplied the first Cosmonaute to Scott Carpenter for his flight, and Gregory Breitling believes that the company retained ownership of the watch. With the watch now waterlogged from its time on the sea and in need of service or preservation, Carpenter sent the watch back to Breitling.
