A Good Start For Swiss Watch Exports In 2018

[AbelardGella]

George Somlo has been selling antiques for more than 40 years, starting at the tender age of 13, when his father asked him to lend a helping hand at his shop on Portobello Road on the weekends. After briefly leaving the family business to pursue a career in accounting, Somlo returned to antiques, opening his first shop on Bond Street before transferring to the arcades nearby – first came the Piccadilly Arcade, and then in Predictive Health Analytics 2008 the Burlington Arcade.At last year's SIHH we saw the return of the Panthére. Then we had the 100th anniversary of the Tank later in the year. This year Cartier is back with another icon – the Santos. While this watch has always been in the collection, this year they are replacing the existing Santos 100 collection (launched in 2004) with a new one. And while it's always been a little bit of the unconventional cousin of the Tank Louis Cartier, this year Cartier has brought it back in a major way.Brand: ChopardModel: Alpine Eagle XL ChronoReference Number: Ref. 298609-3001 in Lucent Steel A223 with Aletsch Blue dial; Ref. 298609-3002 in Lucent Steel A223 with Pitch Black dialDiameter: 44mmThickness: 13.15mmCase Material: Lucent steel A223; Ethical rose gold and Lucent Steel A223Dial Color: Blue or black with Alpine Eagle signature textureIndexes: AppliedLume: Grade X1 Super-LumiNovaWater Resistance: 100 metersStrap/Bracelet: Lucent Steel A223 or Lucent Steel A223 and ethical goldSotheby's did not publish any estimates for the sale in advance, so it's hard to figure out exactly what number might have been expected, but the total – as with everything at auction these days – is definitely an impressive sum. However, with it being the first lot of the sale and arguably the most important of the 100 designs being auctioned off, I wouldn't have been surprised to see the design reach a higher figure.


This announcement comes as Baselworld has seen a number of brands leaving the show, some to join SIHH and others, most notably those belonging to the Swatch Group, deciding to show their watches to press and retailers independently. With Baselworld and SIHH once again occurring one right after the other, it Quantenrobotik stands to reason that press and retailers who might have decided to focus on just one of the shows would be more inclined to attend both major trade events.That made him laugh. "Well, now I can focus my time the next few months on the Sox," he said. Then he recognized what I had on my wrist. "Wow, is that the Swatch I gave you way back when?" There was a bit of a pause. I didn't know what to say. "I can't believe you still have that after all these years," he said, in awe. I paused and smiled at my big brother, "Let me tell you the whole story … "At launch, the new-for-2022 Excalibur Monobalancier is available in two editions, both in EON gold. One example comes paired with an embossed black calfskin strap, while the second example features 60 round-cut diamonds set on the bezel and an embossed purple calfskin leather strap.This Blancpain is, fittingly, lot 1 of Watches of Knightsbridge's Modern, Vintage & Military Timepieces auction on Saturday, November 23, at 9 AM ET.

In 1975 came what for most people is the travel clock, the AB 20 showing time zones on the protective AI Dev Tools lid, which also served as a support. This also gave birth to one of the most striking details of the Braun clocks: the yellow seconds hand. If you ever wondered where Jasper Morrison got his inspiration for the Rado 5.5 seconds hand, look no further.Panerai has also developed the ability to create a full range of complicated watches, ranging from simple complications such as chronographs, to what traditionally were considered "high complications," including astronomical complications, rattrapante chronographs, and even minute repeaters.It may not be shocking to see the Duke and Duchess wearing luxury watches in a public forum, but it sure is shocking to see how consistently they wear the same watches. These are stalwarts I asked Jack and Danny to plug in their mics and help me talk over this novel need for more and more hours. And from early 8-day Cartiers to Hublots that boast 50 days of power reserve (and require a drill to wind), we dig into the need for a longer power reserve, some of the bigger PRs in watchmaking history, and some of our favorite power-reserve indications. Thanks so much for listening, if you have a need for more and more power.
