The most useful watch for a cigar smoker, an idea from Jean-Mairet Gillman

 
 By: foversta : February 3rd, 2009-13:39
At least an useful complication ! Cesar Jean-Mairet tries to help us with this watch, perfect for the foolish smokers who forget their cigar cutter. I met Mr Jean-Mairet at the 4 Seasons in which an exhibition was organized during the SIHH. I would like t...  

Being that I'm not a cigar smoker, can u explain what is on the watch?

I'm assuming it's a cigar cutter but how does it work? The cigar in the picture is obviously too big to fit in that hole. Sorry but I'm a cigar idiot Cheers, Anthony

I'm not a cigar smoker...

Some sort of cigar "punch" cutter?

 
 By: glickman : February 3rd, 2009-14:23
I am a cigar smoker. I usually use a "guillotine" type cutter, but many smokers use a circular punch to cut a small hole in the tip of the cigar.

I think you're right. [nt]

More watches from Jean-Mairet Gillman

Even if the production is limited, the collection is quite broad with a large choice of complications. I would like to present you my fav watches from this collection. Nothing pretentious here, only nicely made watches. An interesting Tourbillon developpe...  

Is that first watch

A perpetual calendar as well as a Tourbillon? I like that steel chronograph. What's the size? A

No.

 
 By: foversta : February 3rd, 2009-15:07
It is not a perpetual calendar. It has a second timezone (12 hours indication with the retrograde hand), a night/day + day + weeks indications The diameter of the chronograph is 41mm. Fr.Xavier

Ooooh, I see now

Being a heavy cigar smoker, let me explain...

... Its not a cigar cutter. And u do not cut the cigar with the part on the watch. You use the gold part ( a small round razor blade ) that is taken off the watch to creat a hole in the cigar by screwing it in the cigar instead of cutting it. Its more pre... 

OK ! Thanks a lot for the explanations.

Not a smoker, but that's a cool watch.

I like several of the others as well, and the movements look quite nice! Jeff

Xavier, they do a nice 7 day manual wind. any idea what movement it is?

 
 By: G99 : February 3rd, 2009-15:50
