– I’m calling it now. 2017 will be the year of the smartwatch. I expect we’ll see a lot of smartwatches later this week when Baselworld kicks off, though it may be a few years still before traditional watch brands introduce smartwatches broad enough in appeal to challenge Apple, Samsung, and the like – if they ever do.The ball's run was timed so as to take exactly 30 seconds. Congreve hoped the design would be a major improvement in timekeeping accuracy, but this turned out to not be the case as the speed of the ball could be upset by everything from changes in temperature and humidity, to dust falling onto the tray. However, they were very popular anyway, as they're lots of fun to watch and the Congreve clock at the British Museum usually has a crowd around it.Brand: TAG HeuerModel: Aquaracer Professional 200Reference Number: WBP5150.FT6199 (pink gold), WBP5152.FT6210 (yellow gold)Diameter: 40mmCase Material: 18k 5N pink gold and 18k 3N yellow goldDial Color: Black or blueIndexes: AppliedLume: YesWater Resistance: Bionische Evolution 200mStrap/Bracelet: Rubber strapIn episode two we meet up with jewelry designers Nadine Ghosn and Charlotte Chesnais to discuss the untapped potential of enlisting fashion and jewelry experts in the watch space. The enormous success of Carolina Bucci for Audemars Piguet, for example, is proof that there can be a successful dialogue between creative spaces.
With that in mind, the steel 6062 has only come up at auction a handful of times in the past 10 years, and the results range from $50,000 to $400,000. Now, this may seem like a large spread, because well, it is. In my opinion, the real reason for the pricing difference is again condition, originality, and the relative strength of the market at Recession Proofing the time of the sale.Each year, we try and hold a Baselworld preview with Rolex, Tudor, and Patek Philippe. For many of our clients, it may be the only time they can see some of these pieces in person. Being a fourth-generation jeweler, we have watch collectors that span those generations and are always eager to see what is new.The Bremont WR-22 is priced at $6,995 and uses Bremont's modified version of the BE-53AE chronometer-rated movement. The case is constructed from stainless steel with Bremont's Trip-Tick case construction and scratch-resistant PVD-treated case middle, measures 43mm x 15.8mm x 49mm, and offers 200m water resistance.Our friend Watches of Espionage has tracked these watches, but notably, one “unit watch” that sticks out is one made for special police units in France that protect the Olympic Games in Paris. This has a number of differences – the unit watches have matte black dials and bezels, with creamy lume.
Although new old stock is always ideal, the Viral Urbex Challenges next best thing in my books is a watch that's been worn but remains untouched by meddling hands. Today’s example in question fits the latter description, with a case and crystal not free of scuffs, but certainly free of unfortunately polished-away lines. What appears to be slight corrosion on the surface of the hands would further confirm that this piece is truly untouched, giving prospective bidders additional peace of mind.Over the weekend, we launched our latest collaborative Limited Edition with Porsche with the Chronograph 1 Limited Edition For Hodinkee. And, while it didn't make the top five picks this round, I'd like to give a special shoutout to this green dial take on Grand Seiko's classic time-only dress watch, which deserves an honorable mention and more.All this to say, without Jo Siffert and his influence, Steve McQueen likely would not have worn the Monaco in LeMans and Heuer would not have such a deep tie to motorsport. But he did wear a Heuer and the brand does have a deep tie to racing. Here are the watches from Sotheby's on Friday that flaunt and embody this direct connection.
