My approach to watch collecting has always been fairly eclectic. I don't stick to a particular brand, time period, complication, or aesthetic, though I do have slight preferences in each area. The one thing that all of my watches have in common is that when I glance down at my wrist, I feel joy, and my vintage Universal Genève Polerouter is no exception. HSNY's permanent collection also includes one of Arthur's tall case clocks, recently donated by our Exhibit Curator, Bob Frishman. Although it...

It's a category we've believed in for a very long time. One of the reasons is that we also very strongly believe in the after-sales service function in watches. I think they go hand in hand – one part of pre-owned watches is acquiring the watches and another part is making sure they are serviced and well cared for, and, in our case, warrantied for two years. Caliber CHR 27-525 PS Q, a manual wind mechanical movement, featuring split-seconds chronograph with column wheel, chronograph and...

In 2011, Jay-Z and Kanye West told us that "Bueller had a Mueller / but I switched it for a Mille cause I'm richer," in "Gotta Have It"; and Pharrell (who is not stranger to fine luxury timepieces) raps with French Montana in their song "Bring Dem Things," "Y'all be Bapein' / I be human-made and / y'all be APin' / I'm Richard Mille nation / No Diamonds, just tourbillon facing / with gears and Off the top of my head, I think you might find some roughly similar values in terms of offerings from...

He became a notable and strong warrior and horseman, and in one of his adventures, he confronted and killed a lion, which is shown on the dial of this watch. While the movement might be overlooked, it's a strong and nicely finished minute repeater that is worth appreciating. In some ways, these might be the most traditional of the Les Cabinotiers releases this year, but because of that, they are quite strong. Still, regular old modeling was only okay, not super-consistent. Hand modeling is what...

A pusher on the case that is neatly integrated into a teardrop-shaped lug near eight o'clock offers a hint. Simply press this pusher and the white-gold hour hand will start to jump ahead in one-hour increments. Choose your fighter: The 12 original models of the Louis Cartier Collection, introduced in 1973. Cartier would add a few others throughout the '70s. There's a large body of research dedicated to human memory. In 1956, Harvard psychologist George Miller published a paper titled "The Magic...

The Big Bang has been a tremendous success and spawned more than a few crowd-pleasing iterations over the years. But if nothing gold can stay, then nothing gold and rubber can stay, either. This is due to the complexities of the Moon's orbit – the plane of the orbit is tilted with respect to the plane defined by the apparent path of the Sun through the sky (the plane of the ecliptic) as seen from Earth. While not directly affiliated, Windsor Jewelers has been able to support charitable elements...

Starting out with a bit of a wild card, the MTG-B3000PRB1 'Aurora Oval' Limited Edition is made for those die-hard G-SHOCK lovers who aren't afraid to make a statement – or for a rainbow watch fanatic who doesn't want to dive into the deep end of multi-colored gem-settings just yet.

Two generations of Chronomat chronographs, with the one on the left dating to the...

Brand: Cartier Model: Santos de Cartier Titanium LM; Santos de Cartier Black Dial LMReference Number: CRWSSA0089;  CRWSSA0096 Featuring a double locking enclosure, the clasp looks and feels like it's pulled straight from a vintage watch, complete with stamped metal – nothing milled here. It adds to the overall lightness and certainly bolsters the charm. Greg Yuna is a born and bred New York City guy – Queens to be precise (he'd be sure to let you know). He's the kind of character that helps the...

With a retrograde hand, this simple, robust, and time-proven system is obviously impossible – at least, impossible without a little tweaking. It contains 386 parts and includes a number of ceramic elements that require far less maintenance than non-ceramic materials. Of course, it's impossible to keep the watch wound and running until 2100, when the date needs to be adjusted, but at least ceramic components will make those service intervals much longer. This is very rarefied territory – a...

The first time I heard of Jaeger-LeCoultre and the Reverso was in a science fiction novel I read when I was eight or so – a detective story on a starliner in which the detective, a woman, is given a Reverso as a gift by a suave fellow-traveler who may or may not be a lady-killer. Look, call me lame for picking a watch I helped create, but it's been almost five years since we dropped this matte black, no-date Mark XVIII on the world, and I still wear it all the damn time. The inspiration for it...
