Patek Philippe agreed with the first bit, but felt that, while we weren’t wrong about it being stamped, we may have oversimplified the work that goes into achieving the shape and finish of the 5320G. Shortly after running our story, we received an invitation to come back to their booth and meet Philip Barat, the Head of Technical Development at Patek Philippe, for a closer look at how the 5320G is made. Always eager to hear more from Patek, we accepted. Here’s what we learned.With a bright…

Though it is thicker
Repliky Richard Mille rm 27 than my piece, the new Longines Heritage 1945 sits really well on the wrist and provides much of that vintage style without the rarity or price tag. For anyone who is curious, powering this watch is the caliber L609 (ETA 2895/2), and though Longines benefits from the vast array of movements from Swatch, there was still not a manually-wound caliber suitable for this…

This Galet Square, like all others, is 41 mm in diameter, so there is no confusing it for a 50 t0 70-year-old wristwatch. But the size is good, and the extended, screwed lugs on this specific model work well. Oh, and then you turn it over.IWC began looking into high-quality alternatives for leather-based straps in 2018, with the goal of finding a material that was both vegan and green. The cellulose in the straps comes from managed forests or tree farms, and the stitching and lining…

The Tuscan dial is a fairly rare phenomenon, occurring only on certain watches that were primarily released in the 1990s. It's most commonly found on Royal Oak Perpetual Calendars, but can also be found on a select number of perpetual calendar wristwatches produced by Audemars Piguet in circular cases, such as the lovely ref. 25657.I think the historical context of watchmaking is lost

Like so many, we

The Red Sub remains one of the of the classic stepping stones in vintage Rolex collecting and his example is…

Everything is simpler in this layout. White for day and black for night on the 24-hour disc – straightforward and effective. Even the fact that the city disc is adjusted via a second crown at nine o’clock serves these admirable, austere qualities.

We also see the moon-phase at twelve, and the continued use of a peripheral date display. Sales of these three models would begin in 1959. While certainly a complicated way of showing the leap year, this was the first time it had been done by any brand in series production, and you don't have to look all that closely to see these later 5516s as something of an aesthetic and philosophical foundation

Colani was born in Berlin in 1928, and has a laundry list of achievements in the world of industrial design. Best known for dramatically swooping lines that can be found on everything from furniture and cameras to aerodynamic race cars, Colani quickly made a name for himself in the field of organic-inspired design.
