. . . last Friday, so I headed off to Westime in Beverly Hills to photograph the collection. As it turned out, there wasn't enough time to take snaps of every watch before the crowd started filtering in, but most of them will be represented here. As the l...
and without wanting to get into deep and dangerous waters, the directions indicated by the screw-head may be carrying a not so subtile message about the transportation of highly desired but illegal goods. Unfortunately - and involuntarily, as I hope! Havi...
. . . a sense of humor. I believe their designer was trying to be suggestive with the brick facade, in effect saying . . . . . . "hands against the wall" ;-) . . ....
The pusher at 9 o’clock, when pressed suspends the time, so the hour and minute hand you could see is close to noon but not quite, and the date hand is hidden. The time display is suspended but the watch is still running. To resume the time, the pusher yo...
For sharing with us all these Only Watch photos! I find the timepiece very intriguing as well when I first saw a photo of this watch elsewhere. It's amazing that the hands are suspended in an impossible time as FX mentioned. We can see from your photo, wh...
thanks to Jean-Marc Widerrecht of Agenhor and his usually outsourced nano-molecular technology. It is what it is - nothing less than that. Far be it for me to call it a "gizmo". No chance. If you like this way of controlling your personal time, than go ah...
. . . a decidedly different watch from their usual designs. My apologies for the reflection in the dial . . . there were five photos altogether, and this was the best of the lot....
Thank you for the great photographs, many of these watches are much more impressive and desirable in their live photos compared to their manufacture photographs.
. . . this iteration will be in G O's 2012 line-up with a croc strap and a brushed finish, so the polished case and rubber strap were employed to differentiate the Only Watch version . . .
The Breguet for the dial and the complication and the Vacheron for the overall poetry and the "finesse" of the realization, stands out for me. The most important is that it is for a good cause. cheers Francois
I never understood why watch companies insist in making world time watches using a ring with city names. On this nice watch, we can see that Rio de Janeiro (UTC-3) and Tokyo (UTC+9) are opposite, meaning that they are 12 hours apart. This is correct when ...
JLC Master Geographique, U.N ( the list is long ) are the names which go immediately in my mind, if you don't want to hear about a Rolex. Now you speak, my friend. I love these GMTs! Best, Nicolas.
It is clearly impossible for a mechanic watch to handle the daylight saving system: the countries don't change their times at the same day, it is impossible to program this system. That's my point of view. The purpose of the Journe UTC was to start to fin...
In fact this is a Retrograde Chronograph, graduated on 2 hours ( O / 30 / 60 / 90 / 120 ) with an indication that the Chrono works ( 0=neutral / 1=It works / - 1=it needs to be repaired ) and a map of the world because it looks pretty. Best, Nicolas.
Does not fit my GMT needs because: a) It's a travel watch and this one should cost big $$$ b) It's more complex than it should. I'm "dating" two options: a) A JLC Master Compressor GMT b) Zenith Elite Captain dual time Of course, I miss a lot my 1675 but ...
you know exactly what time it is when you set the outer bezel and you know whether its day or night. the only way of doing better is a Glycine with 3 or even 4 timezones. i fully agree with the issues you've raised. you can buy a watch with 2 dials, but m...
Just survival. I miss my 1675 (and others). Because they are easy to "move along", wearing anything that is similar to a Rolex, here, is an invitation to trouble. Cheers
...over there for your viewing pleasure. Thanks for the close-ups. I didn't have this exclusive opportunity. But at least I got to have a glimpse of them. All nice watches and my favorite in terms of concept and aesthetics would be the Breguet and the De ...
great photos Art! thanks for posting these unique pieces...and I agree with Patrick..many look better in the metal... hope to see you soon..I have a pastrami craving...LOL!
. . . with a tourbillon repeater . . . . . . in steel . Julien Schaerer, the managing director of Antiquorum, would've had me extradited to Switzerland had I removed the ref 3939 from it's protective wrapping. They might not have the death penalty on the ...
. . . plus, we only chip in a buck each round. Methuselah wouldn't live long enough to win the scratch for this puppy ;-) . . . This message has been edited by Dr No on 2011-09-15 13:27:17
. . . but you'll have to take my word for it, because these photos . . . . . . don't do it justice. The dial is a gorgeous iridescent blue that was beyond my ability to adequately capture....
