We Sent a Complete Newbie Shopping for a Rolex. Here's What Happened.
Hoffmann’s remarks may seem insulting to his own brand and to the Artemis racing team that Ulysse Nardin sponsors, but his point was that it was sailboat racing and wristwatches that brought us all together for the final weekend of the America’s Cup in Bermuda, and that was a worthy reason to celebrate both.He devoured as much information as he could on the Internet and fell in love with vintage watches outside the mainstream, like the Omega Deville ref. 146.017, with an oddly placed date smack-dab on the running seconds counter at 9, and the Memosail watches of the '60s and '70s with colorful countdown timers.It's the oldest of TAG Heuer's (née Heuer) trio of notable chronograph wristwatches, debuting in 1962 at the hand of the 28-year-old Jack Heuer during his first year as CEO. You'd think the chronograph's seniority would secure its place at the front of TAG Heuer's catalog, but for some reason or another, the pas cher Piaget Autavia has almost always been the odd watch out during the 21st century, ranking behind both the Carrera and the Monaco in significance.His company is surging, having just released more than 60 novelties as part of the show. (By comparison, fellow Richemont brand A. Lange & Söhne released exactly one.) Vintage Cartier prices remain bananas. And reissues of coveted pieces like the Pebble cause collector feeding frenzies.Chanel killed it with underdog hits this year. There was a robot-shaped Première, the Première x-ray, a full baguette-set J12, giant pin cushion-inspired watches, and a black lacquer Mademoiselle Privé Lion cuff.
The two H. Moser watches will be included in Christie’s worldwide exhibition tour, so if you live in Dubai, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Taipei, New York, or Geneva, you can actually replika Piaget go see the dairy-laden Swiss Mad watch in person. It's a (strange) sight worth seeing, for sure.We do not yet have lot numbers for these watches yet, but we will update this story as soon as Christie's publishes the catalog for the May 2017 sale.Meanwhile, the hands are very traditional and blackened, but because of the Vantablack dial's incredible capacity to absorb light, they seem to take on a lighter coloration and float above the display.The Take: Rubber is great. You always know what you’re getting with a rubber strap. It's flexible, it's ductile, it's resilient – it's rubbery. But it's not inherently versatile. Rubber makes for a wonderful strap material in so many ways, but it's also limited by its synthetic nature. Rubber is rubber. You won't want to wear a rubber strap to work, school, or dinner, but when the weekend rolls around, it makes for a great poolside accoutrement.Adam describes this project and the resulting watch as one of the most rewarding things he's done, and in many ways, it flies in the face of all the traditional watch nerdery that he's subscribed to for so long – and that's probably why it feels so good. This watch is his, in every single way, and it was born out of things that he loves for his own reasons. And there's something beautiful about that.
The Braun watches AW 10 and AW 50 embody simplicity. Just as do the clocks and electrical appliances made by Braun, they truly follow the "less is more" dogma that (arguably) stems from the Bauhaus school. Or, as Braun likes to put it: Less but better. Design has been at the core of the brand for seven decades, and its watches and clocks were designed by a team headed by two men: Dieter Rams and Dietrich Lubs.It's a watch that's unmistakably authentic to its period of production, dripping with old-school, all-gold excess and the most innovative Swiss timekeeping solution of its era ticking inside. Plus, bonus points for the presence of a "destro" replica Montblanc crown and the bright red six o'clock date aperture. If you can't tell, I honestly can't get enough of this Constellation. What about you? Take a closer look, right here.In this installment of Point/Counterpoint, Jon Bues is taking as his point the narrower definition and I am taking as mine the broader counterpoint, and as always, to quote Don Corleone's refusal to Virgil "The Turk" Solozzo, "I will give you my reasons."I tend to likCaliber: HYT 501-CMWith only 27 watches available, I'd guess that HYT will have no problem selling their inventory to fans of futuristic and creative design, and I look forward to keeping an eye on what else they come up with as a newly relaunched company.But I fail to understand why liking diamonds on watches seems to signify a lack of taste for a certain contingent of the watch community. I'm hoping the TAG Heuer Plasma can help build a case for why gem setting on watches is just so undervalued. And how, in this particular instance, the gem-setting is proof of serious scientific innovation.To be honest, I am really digging this piece. The blue dial reminds me of the since discontinued standard Black Bay blue dial. It appears – at least from the photos – to be a rich flat blue as opposed to a sunray finish which matches the purpose-built aestehtic of the entire piece. Looking forward to spotting this one on the track and hopefully seeing it in person this year.
