The Cartier Pasha de Cartier 41mm Chronograph

[EmilyPeonyn]

Speaking of which, this is one of those items whose value derives Bio Driving principally from said provenance, not from any particularly compelling horology, appearance, or rarity. Enzo Ferrari reportedly liked this battery-powered German clock, which Barmak estimates from the 1930s or 40s, because he didn’t have to wind it. And because he didn’t have to let anyone into his office to wind or maintain it.The Memovox Parking took this alarm watch category one step further. In 1958, Jaeger LeCoultre, by then famous for their alarm complications, celebrated its 125th anniversary with a few new Memovox references. This Parking model had a patented dial and complication that was highly recognizable thanks to the blue and white "P" pictogramme. The idea was for the Memovox Parking to have an alarm for a specific duration (30 mins, 60 mins, and two hours) in order to avoid tickets.Famously, the Patek 2499 was a gift from Yoko Ono, and even without the provenance, an example of 2499 is very collectible, coming from the mid-century and being part of a production run that is said to include less than 350 watches. If you want to learn more about the 2499, or indeed all of Patek's QP chronographs, don't skip Ben's coverage in this edition of Reference Points.


China was a Swiss-watch powerhouse in 2019. Exports rose 16% in value, which was a huge help in compensating for Hong Kong’s decline. China helped maintain the industry’s overall growth for the year. Swiss global exports rose 2.4% last year, not bad considering all the international tensions (the U.S.-China trade war, Brexit, Hong Viral Urbex Challenges Kong, etc.).In Watch of the Week, we invite HODINKEE staffers and friends to tell us a personal story they have about a watch. The author of today's feature is Charles Emslie, a HODINKEE watchmaker based in Atlanta. He's telling us the story of his school watch.It's precisely this meeting of cultural impact and accessibility (from a pricing perspective) that has made this the Watch of the Year. It's not even worth noting a runner-up in this category because nothing comes close. I have friends who use their lunch breaks just to visit a Swatch store and see what they have in stock. The Hodinkee slack channel lights up every time someone scores a new planetary piece.Over the past decade, Ed's developed a relationship with watch customizer George Bamford. Over the years, Bamford has made customized faces for Sheeran's Nautilus 5726 Annual Calendar to match each of his albums. Patek Philippe introduced the 5726/1a annual calendar with moonphase in 2019. When Ed wrote his first article for Hodinkee that same year, he showed us a customized 5726 dial with his initials, "E.S."


The F.P. Journe Sonnerie Souveraine is anything but a small watch, and in pink gold with a lapis lazuli dial, it is both unique and superlative. The reference, Journe's most complicated to date, was launched in 2006, and the watch was originally presented in a stainless steel case. Per Claude's request, this unique piece was made in pink gold, with a pink gold bracelet, Metaverse Kitchen and some major changes to the dial too.Of course in the 20th century it's the name of Dr. George Daniels, inventor of the co-axial escapement, which is most prominent but many of the most important horologists in history were Englishmen and their work is well represented in this auction as well. Let's have a look at some of the more important and interesting lots.Caliber: Longines L888.2 (ETA A31.L01, base 2892)Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, dateDiameter: 25.94mm (11.5 lignes)Power Reserve: 64 hoursWinding: Automatic and manualFrequency: 3.5 Hz (25,200 vph)Jewels: 21This issue also features Aziz Ansari and Fred Savage on watch collecting, as well as contributions by Atlantic publisher Hayley Romer, Olympic cyclist Fabian Cancellara, and photographer Michael Turek.
