(Hey, I'm trying to be more open-minded about my watch identity these days. pas cher rolex montres The only other instance of using molybdenum disulfide as a dry lubrication solution in watchmaking that we're aware of, was by Jaeger-LeCoultre, who experimented with the material in the mid-2000s in the Extreme Lab watch – the company doesn't appear to have pursued the technology. Given that this watch is for DJs, the time-telling scale on the dial assumes an improper sleep schedule, meaning the only hours here are from 6 p.m. to 5 a.m. The designer, Kento Ito, incorporates an automatic Seiko movement in the watch, though I have zero idea how this abbreviated timescale would work without a digital caliber. Of course, when priced at $1,995, Raymond Weil is playing in a very different league, and the 'Menthol' with its surprising minute track color amid a classically-balanced design theme hits just the right amount of modern quirk.

John Reardon commented “Christie’s is honored to be part of the HSNY family. On a personal level, I find the HSNY to be the horological heart of watchmaking in greater NYC area and increasingly the entire United States.
