All too often, there were flaws in the production process, so the reputation of the ST-1901 wasn’t the best.This is Moser at its best – zagging away from the expected. In this case, it comes through a collaboration link with artist seconde/seconde/, best known for mods of iconic vintage watches (such as a Tiffany stamped Patek with a croissant for an hour hand). But this isn't a mod. Instead, it's an active push by the brand to bring things that are already happening on tAlong with the loud, blue, eraser-heavy dial, there's a minimalist effect at play. There is no logo (or any text for that matter), to be found. In fact, there are no hour markers, or a minute track – likely wiped away by that eraser hand.GB: I love it. Thanks to Genta! You need to have these amazing creative people. When you do something that is really well thought out, it can last forever. It doesn't go out of style. What I love about this watch is that you can wear it sporty. I'm a sporty girl. I'm always, you know, moving around. But it can also be really cool in the evening, like you can go from the red carpet to everyday running around, mom-style. And it looks good with everything and it's very comfortable.
By dressing up the model with large, luminous Arabic numerals and a glistening blue dial, I feel that it somewhat softens the blow.As summertime comes around in the northern hemisphere, time surfs wonderfully-textured link waves on the dial of MIDO's Ocean Star 39.Polished silver dauphine hands, applied steel indices, and a gold seconds hand pair well with the intricate dial.I spoke to the film's prop master, Catherine Miller, about sourcing watches for a film so entrenched in the seedy underbelly of the New York City watch scene. According to Miller, the watches were written into the script and were an important component for the Safdies. Ratner was originally supposed to wear two watches, but the directors thought it would be funnier (this film is in no way a comedy) if he had two watches stolen from him throughout the film, so he ends up wearing three.
Regarding the link automatic designation, the Hamilton uses a 64A movement (aka, the ETA 2452).4mm spring moves through the ribbing of the lug case and provides a nice and firm click.Montblanc Minerva makes its own balance springs for its 18,000 vph movements. These are individually brought to time by matching the oscillations of a spring fitted to a balance, with a reference balance, using a special tool. The effective length of the balance spring is manually adjusted until it matches the vibrations of the reference balance.But before we transition into the new year and dive into even more exciting things to come, a final, more personal reflection took place here at Hodinkee. Our staff banded together from New York City to Atlanta, to Canada, and even Japan to take part in a beloved year-end tradition: sharing the watches they wore most this year.
