This watch serves an important purpose for Jaeger-LeCoultre, and that’s to bring a true entry-level sports watch back into the collection. For about the same price as the brand’s simplest time-only dress watch, the Master Control, you can now get the Polaris Automatic. This could help two different types of customers: existing JLC clients who want something for the weekend that’s still a JLC, and folks looking for a sub-$10,000 sports watches who might not have considered JLC in the past.And at… Continue

But Greubel Forsey and Novak Djokovic? It's a match. Just consider Greubel's approach to finishing – the Hand Made 1 takes 6,000 man hours to finish. Doesn't that sound falsi richard miller orologi like a fit with Djokovic's tireless work ethic and exhaustive groundstroke game? How about Greubel Forsey's penchant for avant-garde aestheticism? Novak's best-known shot is his return of serve – that sounds fairly… Continue

The good news is that OMEGA have kept many of the features that make CK2998 one of the most collectible pre-moon Speedmasters, from the iconic 12-hour, three-register layout, to the elongated “Alpha” hands and black tachymeter scale on the bezel. Many of these aesthetic elements are back, albeit with some minor changes.However, most point to the Longines as their favorite. Its contemporary size (38 falsos iwc relógios mm)… Continue

To my recollection, I paid about $200 for this Seiko and not long ago I spent another chunk of cash to have it serviced (the7S26 is a workhorse, falsi patek philippe orologi but not an accurate one, so be sure to keep yours tuned up by a qualified pro). I love this watch, I have convinced friends and family to buy the same (or similar) and I intend to have it around until it (or I) are claimed by one of many… Continue

Though Cartier makes and sells a number of luxury products – of course, including watches – the watch industry can sometimes seem like an old-boys club. Cartier North America's move to facilitate the creation of a more inclusive culture is a welcome sign of progress for the industry and replica dior tassen hopefully a sign of more things to come.Overall, my time wearing this piece on the Oyster bracelet (my… Continue

The only real qualm I have with this watch is that I wish the subsidiary seconds was located at six o'clock and not nine o'clock. What can I say, I am a bit of a traditionalist like that. Also, great news! No date window to be found anywhere on this one. Now, I love a date window for practicality fausse hermes sac purposes, but I know that many of you hate it (like really hate it), so breathe easy here. You're… Continue

In terms of sizing, I prefer this Vertex to something like a Longines Legend Diver or a Breitling Super Ocean 42. It's better made than any of my beloved Doxa Sub 300s and it is more substantial and modern than an Oris Sixty-Five (which may or may not be to your preference, the Oris remains strong in both value and style).What this release has taught me is that watches still have magic – the ability to drum up excitement the way Apple can with a new iPhone. MoonSwatch represents a new day in… Continue

If your preference falls in the 42mm+ range, the S500 remains a nicely proportioned watch that wears well and makes no apologies for its ample dimensions. More than a decade later, it remains one of my favorite billig iwc uhren larger dive watches after I so thoroughly imprinted upon the first-generation design.The story of Newman and Woodward is told through the films they acted in and narrated in their own words.… Continue

One final replica rolex submariner 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 years.” George Daniels, then 72, had,… Continue

Regardless, this a neat chronograph for those who may want something mechanical with them at work and in their car, and the 1/100th of a second chronograph is nothing to be scoffed at – nor is the price. Nice to see TAG still offering something like this in the collection, and while no details are available anywhere else, the pricing and availability reported here comes directly from TAG, so if you'd like one, call your AD soon.More from TAG… Continue

I entered watchmaking for love. My girlfriend at the time, link who became my wife, was living in Switzerland, so I went there to be with her. And then I discovered a second passion. Watchmaking is something I fell in love with immediately. The competence takes a while coming from managerial school, which is very strong in fast consumer goods, because you have to learn that what moves luxury are not the same rules as what move business in… Continue

For some, that’s part of the appeal of a white ceramic watch – it looks monolithic, like the pure color (or absence of color, to be more precise) link just floating on your wrist. For others, they want to see the watchmaking expertise at play. It’s really just a matter of taste.
