A Deep Dive Into A. Lange & Söhne's Typefaces
In a press release from last week, Doxa announced a change in management structure, with Rick Marei no longer with the company. And then, this week, the new T.Graph was announced as a 300-piece limited edition. It represents perhaps a lingering coda and Marei’s swan song as champion of these ugly duckling divers, and time fausses Richard Mille rm 61 will tell if it represents the end of an era for Doxa or a new beginning.Tudor never offered a destro watch in its catalog until 2016. (The aforementioned Snowflake Submariner was a one-off request in the '70s.) In the modern era, the company took its truest tool watch, the Pelagos, and re-designed it in destro configuration and dubbed it the Pelagos LHD, for "left-hand drive".The summer of 1976 was the Bicentennial of the United States. The excitement appealed to my 14-year-old view of the world, and I hadn’t nearly enough experience to understand the meaning on a geopolitical scale. But I’d had enough experience to know what “cool” was. And this watch, to me, was cool.The "Root Beer" is a classic GMT configuration dating back to the ref. 1675/3, but this is actually the first time that the GMT has been offered in rose gold, giving this reference historical significance.
Also a part of this inaugural auction is a Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight, though that just comes from Crown & Caliber's stock, not from Alton Brown. Bidding starts at $4,500, and you can check out that listing here. (Yes, $4,500 is above the watch's $3,700 list pricAfter dealing with a lot of the big brands already, I felt the pull to establishAfter dealing with a lot of the big brands already, I felt the pull to establish my own store that specialized in the lesser-known brands. In 2000, Grenon's of Newport was born. I am constantly talking to new watchmakers, and I'm always trying to find something that is new and fun! It brings me great joy when a seasoned collector come in my store and says, "I've never seen anything like this before"Now for everybody's favorite polarizing brand: Richard Mille. "RM is a break-the-rules kind of brand," Ku says. "I think the coolest non-vintage and most substantial gift I've seen is the Richard Mille Rimowa watch box." This is luxury on luxury, two powerhouses combined. A black repliki Richard Mille rm 005 aluminum Richard Mille-stamped Rimowa box with the Rimowa logo lasered onto each of the three small cushions. There are a few currently available on eBay, with one asking price set at $8,500.That case, at 39mm (and only 47mm lug-to-lug), is a treat to wear because of its vintage-inspired cushion design, complete with a helium escape valve (it's rated to 1000m). And it's fully blacked-out as the stainless steel case is matte DLC-coated with a closed caseback featuring a yellow-filled engraving to match the dial art.When you're in Chanel's environment, you can really feel the overwhelming link between the watches and the brand's ready-to-wear aesthetic; there were so many nods to their design hallmarks and fashion heritage, from the abundant use of sleek black ceramic to the artisanal "pin cushion" couture inspired dials. They were presenting some serious watches but everything felt very Chanel.And now that the long, winding story of the Lennon 2499 has come to light, its journey of theft, from Tiffany & Co. to Turkey to Geneva, and potential resurfacing might only add to its appeal (and price).But even as the court case has surfaced new details of John Lennon's Patek 2499, it's still possible we might never see the watch. And that'd be fine, too.
GM: We've known each other for 20 years. We tend to like very similar things. But we are also, I think, very bonded because of UNIMATIC. The first three years or so, it was just Simone and I working 24 hours, 365 days, completely immersed.And then I went down this long rabbit hole of the watches of Paul Newman, his Daytona Rolex, and what famous films he's worn them in, or the time he was wearing it when he got second place at Le Mans. Then I found an article about how he gave the one that Rolex gave to him to his daughter's boyfriend, then only a couple of years ago it sold for $17 million. I was like, "Oh, that's an idea for a song, man, it just keeps coming back around."And though it’s hard to admit, the way that I feel about my grandmother’s watch is as much a projection of fantasy as the way that I feel about Harry’s Longines, because I have no real memories of her.
