The major focus at Cartier last year centered around the return of Pasha de Cartier, one of the watchmaker's most instantly recognizable and unique designs, and one that is well remembered as a cult classic of the 1980s. Cartier made a big push with the Pasha redux, signing a who's who of cool young ambassadors from the entertainment world that included Rami Malek and Willow Smith. The onyx dial is subtle and maybe could have been achieved with lacquer. Still, there's an extra depth and...

Leaving the F.P. Journe appointment, I saw several remarkable watches, reminding you that watch-spotting in Dubai is unlike anywhere else. Crime here is severely punished, so much so that theft is basically non-existent. That means gem-set watches and rare pieces like the ones that follow are wearable here, like But perhaps most importantly, the first Eichi demonstrated Seiko's ability to produce a product that was, and is, distinctively and indisputably Japanese, while at the same time...

When you're not diving, the ideal lume glows brightly and for a long time. Diving changes this scenario. If you need your lume underwater, it means that you're either diving in murky/dark water or you're on a night dive. Either way, you should have a flashlight of some sort. 16:38Trailer for Tinker Hatfield episode of Scott's Netflix series "Abstract: The Art of Design Prior to its being offered at auction in 2011, the watch had been in private hands and was known to the larger Patek collector...

We’re not talking Richard Mille quartz tourbillon light, but it does feel super light even if you compare it to a comparable steel model. What this means is that that 41mm watch wears really comfortably, even with that full bracelet. Why does this watch stand out to me as a superior product? Listen, I came into this tool watch fellowship blind, with a mild yellow-gold superiority complex – a watch enthusiast who had never even considered the idea of wearing, let alone praising, anything modern...

The TAG Heuer Autavia Jack Heuer Edition will be limited to 1932 units (Jack’s birth year) and Phillips will offer 1/1932 as the only modern watch in its upcoming Heuer-themed auction. Furthermore, proceeds of the sale of the Autavia Jack Heuer Special Edition will be donated to the Save The Children charity, which specializes in supporting children’s rights in over 120 countries worldwide. Is there a plan for collaboration on either side that would result in products that people can buy?...

9. Historical Perspectives: Ten Vintage Watches That Should Be More Expensive Than They Are, And Why (May 2013) It would be incredibly easy, after all, to pick five lots that make it look like the watch-auction market is stronger than ever. It would also be easy to highlight five lots that make it look like the sky is falling. The truth is, of course, somewhere in the middle. There's no better object to illustrate those ideas than a watch (or in this case, watches plural). But Coppola's script...

Two more gold 1463 examples popped up in New York last week, and both sold for much less – less than half! – that magnificent 1463. So for this auction recap, I thought we'd get super granular and look at all three of these and see if we can try to understand why one 1463 would sell for about $100,000, one for $160,000, and one for more than $300k. And, of course, the original radium lume has been replaced with SuperLuminova that replicates the color. Finally, the "Swiss Made" is now above the...

The watches are more Zenith than they are Movado, but remain fascinating to collectors. Most interesting are the prices; these Datrons have long been seen as a value play, selling for significantly less than a comparable Zenith El Primero. Jason Heaton wrote a love letter to the Datron HS360 here on Hodinkee back in 2015, and most of his points still ring true today. The version of the watch that we have here has a 50mm full hunter watch cover engraved with sweeping floral motifs that involves...

The case is such a prominent feature that it almost looks like it's a removable attachment. It engulfs the watch rather than framing it. This reference was produced in two different dial colors, a silvered dial and a blue dial, both with white gold applied hour markers. Back to our aircraft/spacecraft porthole metaphor: white dial for daytime window gazing and blue dial for nighttime stargazing. Omega is, at times, all three of these watchmakers. There are watches like those in the Trilogy...
