Taking The 41mm IWC Pilot's Chronograph Out For A Meal
It's a thoroughly engrossing look at the mechanism of a truly gorgeous piece of 18th century watchmaking; at the time, this was the Bugatti Veyron of timepieces (although Harrison's approach ultimately proved too complex and expensive). Check out pendulumgeek on Instagram for more.The five pieces we've chosen for this weekend represent the broad range of storytelling Cole has delivered over the years and offer a little bit of everything from video to technical writing to magazine features. But we couldn't choose them all, unfortunately. Some truly fantastic pieces missed the cut this weekend – like his plant-based proteins HODINKEE Magazine cover story, “The Watch That Came In From The Cold.” If you have some extra time, you can hear Cole perform a live reading of that piece, here.After Patek, all eyes were on the unique steel Rexhep Rexhepi Chronometre Antimagnétique. It didn't disappoint, selling for CHF 2.1 million after a prolonged bidding war, to paddle 880. After quickly jumping to CHF 750,000, bidding slowed at about the 1.5 million mark before finally selling. It's a strong result for the young star indie, affirming his status as an Only Watch darling after his unique RRCCII sold for CHF 800,000 in 2021.Our library has grown from just an exciting idea at the beginning of the pandemic to a thriving, functioning resource and social hub for people interested in all facets of horology. In the last year, we more than doubled our visitor count: 776 people visited in 2023, while 1,710 people visited the library in 2024.
Zooming out a bit, the Tank Américaine makes me happy for other reasons too. It's proof that celebrating an iconic watch's birthday doesn't need to be done with a pile of diamonds or a handful of tourbillons to be successful. For a watch as refined as the Tank, marking its centennial with something like this seems a much more fitting tribute – and one that will ensure the Tank is as relevant come its 150th anniversary Viral Tech Challenges as it is today.But I'm busy, and I just kind of put it off to the side. And then with COVID and everything, I lost my job in the theater so I went back to it and wondered what it would be like if I tried to make a ring.
