Also hailing from 2005, lot 145 offered one of the most interesting and collectible pieces from Phillips Geneva Watch Auction XIII: A rectangular Roger Smith Series 1 “Onely Theo Fennell” in white gold. Created for the London-based retailer Theo Fennell, this is the only Series 1 from Roger Smith in white gold.Price: £3,950 inc. VAT (£3,291.67 ex. VAT)Availability: This watch is available on January 27 to members of Alliance of British Watch and Clock Makers, membership £55, sign up by January 26.Limited Edition: 50 pieces. Engraved with a unique number on underside of lug from 1-50Beginning with what is arguably the pièce de résistance of this Hermès roundup, this rose gold and Titanium imagining of the H08 serves modern luxury along with its signature sportiness in equal measure. The rose gold (18K, no less) is utilized within the design in an unexpected yet welcome, understated manner. The rosy tones of the case, numerals, and hands warm the austere black hues of the DLC-coated titanium inner case, dial, crown, and rubber strap.Here, Furlan Marri gets a pass from me. This is their "we did it!" moment. They've built a brand in essentially a bit over two years and went from "we know what makes things really good" to "we make really good things." You lose a bit of replica Richard Mille rm 60 charm, balance, and a little touch that I appreciated in the Borgel caseback, but man, for less than $3,500, the Sellita AMT5100 M movement looks great in the new watch.Often, we struggle with the question, "what's the purpose of a mechanical wristwatch in the 21st century?" We find the time with a glance at a screen, any screen. But if watches completely toss aside their original reason for being, they become mere jewelry. Decoration. Ornamentation. Which is fine, but celebrating the generations of craftsmanship that were dedicated to keeping mechanical time accurately is what can elevate watches into something more.
While we don't normally get excited about a perpetual calendar LE in the same way we might a rugged dive-ready tool watch, there's a lot to love about this one. For me, it comes down to the dial, full stop.Quick Take: I would have been shocked to see someone else walk away with the award. A full ceramic case, an in-house movement, and METAS chronometer certification? Oh yeah, this was Tudor justifiably flexing its muscles.With the exception of the 38mm Terracotta dial, all of the dials are made of fausses Richard Mille rm 63 brass that has been PVD-treated for the color and then lacquered. The Terracotta dial uses CVD (chemical vapor deposition). Regardless of the process, the final effect is a lovely rich color that has a glassy effect while still maintaining the quality and charm of the sunray finish.I have many memories of my dad and his Submariner. I remember this watch on his wrist when we were traveling. He traveled a lot given what he did for a living – editing a travel and lifestyle magazine. My memories are from the road and I got to accompany him to places like Milan or somewhere as exotic as South Africa or Tanzania. When we traveled for whatever reason, the watch really stuck with me more. He would always wear it.The scene in London was no boring affair with queues (I know my local jargon) roughly 2,000 strong. Duck Kim was the lucky first in line and first to buy, having camped out overnight beginning at 4:30pm yesterday. Asked why he did it, Kim said "I have the other 11," which makes a certain kind of completist sense. Still, he said, "I was expecting a moonshine bracelet." So were we, Duck, so were we.
It's really people I like and there's a couple other people I know who have been influential as well, he told me. "The real kind of driving icon of who is on the list is I Repliky Richard Mille rm 35 wanted someone that if you sat down next to them at dinner, at the end of dinner you'd be like, 'That was amazing.' Those people. I think you could base something around that sort of person who loves telling stories and being part of a story. It gives a really great foundation for the brand."The caseback features an engraving of O.A.R.'s Pilatus PC-12 soaring above the delta. There will be 2,011 examples of this watch produced, and a portion of the proceeds will go towards O.A.R.'s operating costs. It helps them continue offering priceless, life-saving aid to the Delta's isolated communities.We got divisions by 60 from the ancient Babylonians (who also used a geometric form of that middle school instrument of torture, the quadratic formula, for levying taxes on farmers by calculating the area of their fields. It is perhaps thanks to their curiosity and ingenuity that we have progressed from taking grain from subsistence farmers to making sure that factory workers don't take a break a second longer than 15 minutes).Just to be clear, this isn't the first new Zeitwerk since the inaugural 2009 launch. We've seen the Zeitwerk Minute Repeater, the Zeitwerk Decimal Strike, and the Zeitwerk Date – among others – but today's release is the first time Lange has returned and reworked the original design and movement in any serious manner.To me, the great thing about the [Sunray DX Carrera] is that it's connected to an important car – a fantastic looking logo and car – and it's straight from the original owner, Stein said. He said it ranks right near the top in terms of logo-dial Carreras. "I'd rather have a racing watch like this than a dealer watch," he added.
