November's Swiss Watch Exports Show That China Is Once Again Red Hot
The new Chopard Alpine Eagle 41 SL Cadence 8HF in ceramized titanium extends the sportier path for the series replika Piaget of 8HF models.When the version with the pale blue dial appeared, I knew I just had to have it.This is the first time we're getting this complication in an 1815 collection watch, and it's perfectly suited to the family. The 40mm case is rendered in pink or white gold the dial shows those signature 1815 numerals and the slim railroad minutes track at the edge.However, I think that's probably the whole point of offering a tourbillon in the Fiftysix Collection – it's a way for Vacheron to show off the versatility of the basic design, as well as to offer a tourbillon in a design that's a bit more in line with the company's history of, after World War II, producing wristwatches with design-forward elements that deviated from some of the strict classic codes of Swiss fine watchmaking.The controls are all set into the right case flank with an upper pusher that advances the date, a central crown for time setting and hand winding, and a lower crown that controls the 12-hour bezel. All of these touchpoints are meant to feel as tactile and camera-like as possible. And you know what? They really do.When I called Yuna recently to discuss baguette diamonds (an aftermarket trend he partly spearheaded), he insisted that we've have left the gaudy behind in the 2010s. "The chandeliers [aftermarket baguette-set watches] were extra chunky, you know, like who's big, who's bad?" he says. "Now everything is starting to scale back a little bit and everybody's going for the Plain Janes. I'm on my 36 mm right now."
Extensive manual finishing sets this limited edition apart from the regular Yema Wristmaster Slim CMM.20. And when I say "extensive," I do mean it. All exterior parts and even the movement bridges on display through the sapphire case back got the treatment.It's alive! It's alive! shrieked Dr. Frankenstein as his macabre creation sprang to life in the 1931 horror classic. Still today, the dreaded epithet "Frankenwatch" describes a watch made from disparate Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet parts, and often reproduced – if not downright fake – dials. You do not want a Frankenwatch.The 42mm version of the watch comes in brushed titanium with either a "khaki" or blue dial. Hamilton's version of khaki is green, not tan. The 38mm version includes three variants. In brushed titanium there's a green dial and a black dial, and in PVD'd titanium there's a grey dial with a lunar-like texture.AP CEO Francois Bennahmias is the man responsible for bringing hip-hop and haute horology together back in the early 2000s with the official Jay-Z collaboration Offshore in 2005. Let it be known that watches aren't new to the rap world, but Swiss watch brands working directly with rappers, well that's a whole different kind of intersection. It seems only fitting that this be FHB's final hurrah before the leadership change that becomes effective January 1st.
If we’re talking brands though, it has to be Angelus for me. I have a few Angelus chronographs, a time-only example and a few more, which I enjoy Longines Conquest wearing in a rotation. I guess adding up all the Angelus timepieces I wore them the most.This is the first time that TAG Heuer has added this complication to its prestigious manufacture movement.He creates beautiful leather straps in traditional and classic colors and styles.Epic, yes, but also historic: not only was this the Nationals first playoff series win, but Howie's homer was also the second extra-inning grand slam in postseason baseball history. Next up, the Nationals will face the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Championship Series. You can be sure that here at HODINKEE HQ, we'll be rooting for our guy Howie.First up was the Tank Americaine. Cute in stainless steel, perfect in white gold with diamonds. I usually reserve my praise for extended rectangular dial watches for the Tank Cintree, but I have a newfound respect for the Americaine. This is mostly thanks to my colleague Rich Fordon, who kindly pointed out that purchasing a vintage Americaine would temporarily appease my acute yearning for a Cintree and be within the realm of possibility for acquiring / purchasing.
