Business News: Switzerland"s Uneven Watch Recovery
One final point to bring this narrative full circle (see opening paragraph, part 1). In 1999, Omega introduced a limited series of 99 DeVille watches powered by a new movement, Co-Axial Calibre 2500, containing George Daniels’s escapement. It was, Omega boasted, “the first practical new mechanical watch escapement to be launched in 250 billige falske ur years.” George Daniels, then 72, had, indeed, gotten even with the electricians.Caliber: PF331-QFFunctions: Time and dateDiameter: 11.5 ‴ (approximately 25.6mm)Thickness: 3.5mmPower Reserve: 55 hoursWinding: AutomaticFrequency: 4 Hz (28,800 vph)Jewels: 32COSC Chronometer Certified and Qualité Fleurier CertifiedAnyway, after I logged off for the day, I truly thought I had put this chapter behind me, and was now free to contemplate other important horological matters, such as the plight of the 4:30 date window. But then came a third release. A third Space Jam watch. If I may quote my beleaguered cinematic predecessor Michael Corleone: Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.Time is one of the most valuable resources we have been given in life, so I like the idea of honoring the passage of time by investing in a beautiful well-crafted piece with longevity like this one which can carry you through a lifetime and beyond.

Until 2015, what smartwatch had been a hit the way Seiko was in the 1970s, Swatch in the 1980s, or the Rolex Daytona in the 1990s? After a while, one wondered what the deal was with smartwatches: Were they a major development in watch history? A niche toy for tech-geeks? Or simply a long-running, highly entertaining freak-watch sideshow?But let's take a look at the watches themselves, because with these pieces, aesthetics are what will, no doubt, draw people in. In total, it has five dial options: White with black accents, salmon, black (not pictured), off-white with faux aged accents, falsi tag-heuer orologi and a white dial with red and blue accents.Notice that the drawing features two lug profiles, with one hastily slashed out. There are scribbles and numbers, possibly linking it to a record book, a Cartier stamp in the lower left corner, and a signed "OK" in the top right, likely pointing to final approval of the project by Cartier's designers. All of these tiny details are important considerations in understanding just how special and handmade these watches are.One of my absolute favorite HODINKEE technical stories is this deep dive into the intricacies of the rattrapante chronograph, one of the most complicated and prestigious complications out there. HODINKEE contributor and former intern PH Zhou does an incredible job of clearly and concisely describing the many different ways watchmakers have attempted to split a second.
Not all of the post-quartz generation of character watches were electronic, though. By the 1980s and 1990s, character watches were not just modern marketing tools, they were also a nostalgia play, and some mechanical Mickey Mouse watches continued to be made, including a reproduction of the original Ingersoll, in 1990, by Pedre.Matt wore that Swatch all the time. Being right-handed, he always had it on his left wrist, the watchband very loose like a bracelet. That's the way he liked it. I would often say to him, "Matt, I love your Swatch." His lip would curl into a smile as he looked over at goedkope cartier horloge me and said, "Thanks, A."The comment: It's nice to have options but the price here surprises me, when considerably less expensive options are available with recent releases from the likes of Longines, TAG Heuer, and Tudor (the latter's GMT movement even being a 'flyer' which warranted or not can usually command a higher price). Maybe I'm missing why this should be worth more than those. - ChronoCanuckThe watch was called the Lorca Model No. One. It featured a fixed 24-hour steel bezel that somewhat brought to mind the Explorer 2. A constellation of long minute indices radiated from its center, which formed a neat bullseye. I searched my watch memory. A vintage Glycine Airman? Maybe a little bit. A contemporary Laurent Ferrier Galet Traveler? Very slightly. But after all the comparisons were done, the only conclusion I could reach was that this watch was the unique product of a singular mind.
