We've been taking a pretty up-close look at certain aspects of Jaeger-LeCoultre's manufactory in parts one and two of our coverage, in which we
Replica Richard Mille rm 47 looked at the creation of the Atmos clock, as well as two historically important tourbillons – the first wristwatch and pocket watch tourbillons JLC ever made. Before going any further, let's take a quick step back and take a slightly bigger picture look at both the factory and at JLC's history.Caliber: In-House Caliber 8971 MCFunctions: Hours and minutesWinding: ManualAdditional Details: Not much is known about the Caliber 8971 MC, but it is a round caliber fitted into the rectangular case and it is also found in some of the 100th anniversary Tank watches.The new data is the best measure yet of the extent of the damage to the industry. Swiss watch exports were down for every global market but one in the first half. (That was tiny Oman, an anomaly with first-half exports up 75% this year and 137% over two years.) All of the other markets were down by double digits ranging from 15% (#2 China) to 57% (#30 India).To say that I admired him would be a massive understatement. He was my father, he was my brother, and he was my friend. He just meant the world to me. I could tell him anything. He was the editor-in-chief of Departures for 17 years. He grew up in Oklahoma City, and worked his ass off to get out of Oklahoma.
Horology is a funny hobby in that the more you learn, the less you know. Timekeeping seems like it should be consistent, but in reality it’s constantly changing. Like everything else in life. Maybe that’s our theme.In 1966, on the occasion of our 100th anniversary gala, the mayor of New York City declared
Repliky Richard Mille rm 25 February 26 "Horological Society of New York Day." After the 1960s, HSNY's gala programs became simpler and shorter, so I don't have as much information about what members were eating, but we do have some pictures from the 1960s that show they were snappy dressers, celebrating in style. Image 10 shows our 94th Anniversary Banquet on Valentine's Day, 1960.I have spoken about Serpenti and its history at great length – more than once. But there's nothing like actually feeling excited when a new watch is released. I'm counting down the days until I get to see these watches in real life. Which I understand is an immense privilege, but it's also a bonus that comes with the job description and keeps me going on gloomy days.
Correction: An earlier version of this story states that the Journe Monopusher Split-Seconds was the most expensive wristwatch by an
fausses Richard Mille rm 47 independent. That honor still belongs to the Naissance d'une Montre Prototype that sold at Christie's last year.Back in the 1950s, a number of notable manufacturers were contracted by various outfits of the Canadian military to produce purpose-built chronographs. These manufacturers included Breitling, Omega, and Rodania – all of which produced strikingly similar timepieces for the Royal Canadian Navy and Air Force. These watches were fitted with white dials, all of which were delivered unsigned except for what are arguably the most desirable and sophisticatedly built of the bunch – those from Omega.Kicking off this roundup, we have a new black/gold colorway for the brand’s mid-range G-Steel line, the $420 G-Steel GSTB100GC-1A. Rocking a solar-powered movement with Bluetooth and the usual host of features, this 53.8mm wide G-Steel has 200 meters of water resistance, an LED backlight, and the bezel is treated to a black ion-plated coating for extra scratch resistance. If you want to go all-black with just a bit of summer-ready gold, this would be a great way to do it.Okay, so we have established this is one seriously functional timepiece, but what about the looks and what about how it wears? Well, these are the two areas of this watch that initially surprised me when I first saw it in New York. They are what kicked off my fascination with the watch and demanded serious time with it for review. In a word – this thing is slick both in look and feel. Okay, that was nine words.
