That Time I Wrote That 'Swatch Group' Was A Dumb Name, And What Happened Next

[HFarkaswTheodosiaw]

Above you can see the soft suede interior featured in each of the zipper pouches fausses Richard Mille rm 07 – in this particular photo it is the Light Brown Leather Pouch for Two Watches. The Unlined Natural Shell Cordovan Strap perfectly complements the NOMOS Tangomat.So here's the thing. That escapement has been around since the 1750s (the Englishman Thomas Mudge is usually credited with its invention) and no escapement even comes close to dethroning it, in terms of combined ubiquity and reliability. It just works. Real revolutions in watchmaking – quantum leaps that changed precision by an order, or orders of magnitude, can almost be ticked off on the fingers of one hand, to make a feeble pun.The sale would be strange by today's standards. First up: An astrolabe. A gold perpetual calendar Royal Oak sold for chicken feed: $21,250. Gilt Submariners went for $14,000. Daytonas failed to sell at all. And despite the declining market for American pocket watches, the auction's star was the sole known example of a Waltham grand complication – a perpetual calendar five-minute repeating split-second chronograph with moonphase – likely the most complicated watch made in America.


For the MB&F HM3, on the other hand, legibility is manifestly not the primary consideration. I had one on loan from MB&F one year (in red gold) to wear at SIHH (remember SIHH?) and while it was never anything less than a fake rolex oyster-perpetual chore to decipher the time (especially when you're having your first glass of champagne at lunch and carrying on boldly and indeed, recklessly from there) it was one of the most flat-out fun experiences I've ever had wearing a watch.My final Rolex highlight from the fifteenth Phillips Geneva Watch Auction is yet another solid gold pre-Daytona Oyster Chronograph. However, this is a ref. 6034, which came two generations before the introduction of the Cosmograph Daytona in 1963. This specific example, lot 221, is special due to the presence of its original Gay Frères bracelet and the use of an unexpected metal for the case and bracelet; very few 6034s are known in rose gold.If you get it, you get it. If you don't, you don't. There's no need for me to convince you that the SMP300 is best – maybe for you, it isn't! For me, it is. I'd be happy with any of the watches we're looking at today, but it's the SMP300 that I still have on my wrist to this day. And the only reason that's the case is that the SMP300 was the watch of the '90s, and I'm forever a '90s kid.


René's family has had a special relationship with Rolex for a very long time, going all the way back to founder Hans Wilsdorf. In fact, this very early Day-Date in yellow gold was Réplicas Richard Mille rm 011 a personal gift from Wilsdorf to René's grandfather Theodor as a thank you for his support and commitment to the brand.Aside from the the literal function the bridges provide in supporting the gear train, barrel, and tourbillon, they also act as the mainplate which is where the touches of futurism come into play. Each of the bridges achieve a level of optical illusion as they appear to be floating freely. Adding to the space-age aesthetic are the markers, which are attached to the flange (outer dial) which, in turn, is affixed to the case.The HO8 is not what I would call a beautiful watch. Interesting, well-crafted, sporty in a way that neither caters to steel-sport-watch-mania nor leans heavily into good old boy nostalgia. It is one of the more individual-looking watches out there. And while I've always respected the watch and loved it on other people, I wasn't really drawn to it until this year's rose gold and black titanium release.
