While the last decade and a half have seen a slow and inexorable upward creep of the cost of luxury watches, there have also been, more recently, some rather disruptive pricing strategies as well. Montblanc, for instance, introduced a steel perpetual calendar in 2014 which is just $12,800 (of course "just" is relative, thirteen grand is indisputably a lot of simoleons for us working stiffs, but you know, still). This year, Longines fielded an annual calendar for under $3,000. And in 2016, TAG Heuer introduced the Carrera Heuer 02T C a tourbillon chronograph priced at $15,950, about which Patek Philippe's Thierry Stern said, very bluntly, "(it's) nearly a joke to me...if they're willing to tr...

Great vintage watch homages have come to be one of the expected highlights of my trip to the Longines booth at Baselworld each year, and 2018 was not a disappointment in this regard. In addition to the wonderful Longines Heritage Military Watch with its faux-patinated dial, and new ladies sizing (and dials) for the Heritage Legend Diver, we were also treated to the great-looking Heritage Skin Diver. And it's that last watch were going hands-on with today. The 2018 Longines Heritage Skin Diver I was shown this watch during a meeting with Longines executives and told that it would not officially launch with the first wave of 2...

Sometimes you find things out in the most interesting ways. A little while back, that stalwart of correctness in all matters orthographic, Mr. Stephen J. Pulvirent, asked me, in the context of a story in layout for the next issue of the HODINKEE Magazine C yes, it's coming C about the symbol for "ligne," as seen for instance on Patek Philippe's website in the description of the caliber 17? LEP PS pocket watch movement (shown above). The question was regarding the three marks indicating that a measurement is in lignes; was this, he wanted to know, one apostrophe and a double quotation mark, or three apostrophes, or something else entirely??I'd always assumed it was three apostrophes, but as i...

On Tuesday night we braved the chilly spring weather to celebrate the new season at Todd Snyder's Madison Square Park boutique. We had an overwhelming response from all of you, with the line to get in wrapping around the corner and the party bumping inside. On display we had a robust selection of our vintage watches from the HODINKEE Shop along with a mix of our accessories, Todd Snyder apparel, Moscot glasses, and plenty of scotch to drink. We want to thank Todd Snyder for hosting and all of those who could join us. But, if you couldn't make it, fear not! Our vintage watches and accessories are always for sale at Todd Snyder on Madison Square Park, so be sure to check them out if you are in...

There are, in every domain of discourse, certain varieties of misinformation and confusion that smite them how you will, refuse to die. One of these hydra's heads in talking about watches is the notion of so-called dynamic vs. static water resistance with respect to watch water resistance ratings C it's been debunked so many times, both here and elsewhere, that you'd think we could safely regard it as a dead issue but it's proven frustratingly durable. Another snake that will not stay scotched is the idea that screw heads C specifically screw head slots C should be aligned; the reason it's not practical to do so in watchmaking is a question that has been repeatedly addressed, but it can't hu...

On March 11, Peter Stas, co-founder and CEO of Frederique Constant, sounded the alarm about what he sees as the increasing threat of the Apple Watch to the Swiss watch industry.Writing on his personal blog on the Frederique Constant website, Stas cited a study by the Washington, DC-based Juniper Research Group, estimating that sales of hybrid connected watches (i.e. with analog dials) will soar to 80 million units in 2022 from 14 million last year. Then he wrote this:?"I feel that the Swiss watch industry still doesn't understand how much the Apple watch and other smartwatches have eaten into the figures for quartz watch movements ... The Apple Watch is now in its third generation and who kn...

I don't remember the first time that I saw a Patek Philippe reference 3970, but I do remember one of the first, and it left quite an impression. It was 2014, and I had just been promoted from Cataloger to Associate Specialist at Sotheby's. There was a client that I had worked with in the past who had consigned some smaller pieces. He was always friendly and warm, and he reached out to me one day to say he was ready to consign his 3970E in yellow gold. I nervously searched for comps and came up with an estimate: $60,000-$80,000 with the reserve at the low estimate. The auction soon approached and, much to my dismay, there was little interest in the watch. I frantically called the consignor th...

When the franc/euro peg was ended in 2015 (just a week before the SIHH, no less), there was more than a little bit of panic about what a surging currency would do to Switzerland's export-heavy economy. It was no small surge either C the franc increased in value approximately 30% over the euro in a single day. Would the relative expensiveness of Swiss goods now cause others to shy away? Would the country have to find a third way to prevent financial catastrophe? It turns out, the hand-wringing was probably for nothing, as the very dynamics that were cause for concern have turned out to be the economy's greatest strength.There are a number of factors at play here, and a recent article from the...

MB&F first introduced the Aquapod back in January 2017, but it's still the most recent Horological Machine, and a quintessential design from the brand. Today we get a third iteration of the Aquapod, rendered in solid grade 5 titanium with bright green accents. This version is limited to 50 pieces and joins the titanium/blue (33 pieces) and red gold/black editions (66 pieces), bringing the total number of Aquapods to 149. In addition to having Super-LumiNova on both the numerals that show the time via the two concentric rotating discs, and the automatic winding rotor, the Aquapod Titanium Green has three panels of extremely bright AGT Ultra (Ambient Glow Technology) ?around the flying tou...

The start of Baselworld is as full of sound and fury as it's possible for anything to be in the fundamentally sedate world of watchmaking. However, one of the pleasant things about poking around in the relative quiet after the first day or two's onslaught of Big News from Rolex, Omega, Tudor, Seiko, and the like, is making unexpected discoveries, and a good place to do that is among the small independent brands. Moritz Grossmann's booth didn't take up much real estate this year (it never does), but in the company's almost closet-sized meeting room, you could see some of the most beautifully executed wristwatches anyone is making right now, and one of the nicest (in every sense of the word) t...

In recent years, some of the more collectible vintage Heuers have been the so-called pilots version of the Carrera, the reference 1158. ("Pilot" here means F1 pilot, not aircraft pilot.) This was an early 1970s automatic chronograph produced in solid gold, with the familiar C-shaped case. For sheer audacity C these watches were made in solid gold and came on gold mesh bracelets C its hard to think of any real competition in the world of Heuer watches.? The watch presented to Formula One driver Ronnie Peterson in 1972 was auctioned by Sotheby's in 2016 and today resides in the TAG Heuer Museum. As we saw on a recent episode o...

The very first watch bash I ever attended was a memorable one C it was the launch dinner, in New York, in 2001, for the Ulysse Nardin Freak, and the watch was introduced to us all by the late Rolf Schnyder, the man who created, along with Dr. Ludwig Oechslin, the new Ulysse Nardin from the ashes of the old. By the time the first Freak was introduced, the revitalized Ulysse Nardin had already become famous thanks to its Trilogy Of Time astronomical complications, but the Freak was something decidedly different: a massive, gold, carrousel-tourbillon wristwatch in which the minute hand was also the entire movement (minus mainspring and gearing for the hour hand) and which, on top of everything ...

Though the 1815 Annual Calendar is the watch that made a big splash at SIHH 2017, it's important to not forget its predecessor, the Saxonia Annual Calendar (which debuted back in 2010). This practical complication is made even more wearable by being powered by an automatic Sax-O-Mat caliber, and the big date display is quintessential Lange. This new edition is technically identical to the original, but with a new sleek grey dial paired with a white gold case and a winding rotor that combines a black rhodium finish with circular graining, to give it a black-and-gold appearance. Only 25 pieces will be made of this new model and they're available exclusively through Lange's U.S. boutiques in Ne...

Following in the format they established last year at Baselworld with a modern and more affordable spin on their SLA017 "62MAS" reissue, Seiko has launched a pair of non-limited Prospex divers that offer a look based on that of their vintage reference 6159 (and its modern reissue, the SLA025). Working from a basic idea similar to last year's SBP051/53, these new Prospex models are meant to split the difference between the loosely-similar and limited edition re-issue piece, and the more common and established look of a Seiko dive watch.? While Seiko's full naming is "The 1968 Automatic Diver's Modern Re-interpretation SPB077 and SPB079," seeing as coffee breaks ar...

While a lot of Baselworld is spent focusing on the new and the novel, occasionally something else appears in the warren of booths big and small. What I didn't expect to find, however, at this year's fair was a little piece of contemporary watchmaking history quietly sitting on a nearly forgotten tray in a back meeting room. But then again, sometimes you get lucky. What I discovered was an original platinum Prestige HM, the very first watch from Romain Gauthier C and you've gotta see this thing.? On the wrist, the Prestige HM wears extremely well (the lack of a traditional crown really helps). The Prestige HM was the result of ...

When a representative from Vacheron Constantin asked me if Id like to spend a little time with the Patrimony Traditionnelle Tourbillon in rose gold, I'll admit that my interest was piqued. The prospect of owning a six-figure high complication in a precious metal is pretty far from where I am in my own collecting journey; the idea seemed almost ridiculous, but in a most positively intriguing way. I asked another editor here what he thought about such a story. He said, "If they'll actually lend you one of those, then yeah, that would be awesome." Try one on for a week, I thought? Aw heck, why not. The Patrimony Traditionnelle Tourbillon is the latest lon...

In early 1990s, IWC released a watch that's now considered a classic from the company's post-Quartz Crisis period: the Pilot's Watch Double Chronograph, which was a rattrapante chronograph built on a Valjoux 7750 movement, heavily modified by IWC's Richard Habring (who has since gone on to found a brand of his own). The Double Chronograph was the essence of unadorned, functional watchmaking C in a substantial, 42mm x 17mm steel case, with a soft iron antimagnetic inner case and a dial strictly oriented towards legibility, it epitomized the no-frills, form-follows-function philosophy that had characterized IWC's approach to instrument watches for many years. ...

In step with their ongoing brand refresh, Breitling recently announced an update to their Chronomat Colt range that offers a new look in both 44mm and 41mm sizes.?While the 41mm diameter is not new to the Colt line, it does represent something of a sweet spot in terms of sport watch size and Breitling has included a pair of new dial colors in this low-key but welcome rethinking of the everyman's Chronomat.? Typically characterized by a chunky steel bezel with Breitling's signature "rider tabs" for added grip, the Chronomat line has traditionally housed a wide and varying array of watches that all loosely fall into the "all purpose" category. Tough, burly, and oft...

There have been some major announcements regarding changes in leadership at the Richemont Group's watchmaking companies in recent days. On April 25, the South China Morning Post first reported that Catherine Alix-Renier, who currently runs Van Cleef & Arpels in the Asia Pacific Region, will be taking the reins at Jaeger-LeCoultre as its global CEO. The CEO position has been vacant since the departure of former CEO Daniel Riedo early last year, with Geoffroy Lefebvre acting as Deputy CEO in the interim. Alix-Renier is the second woman in recent times to become a global head of a Richemont-owned watchmaker, the other being Chabi Nouri, the global head of Piaget, who took her current positi...

It has been fashionable to deplore the youth of today ever since "today" meant C oh, let's say the 4th century BC at least, when Aristotle wrote, "[Young people] are high-minded because they have not yet been humbled by life, nor have they experienced the force of circumstances." Millennials and the kids hot on their heels probably aren't actually ruining everything C at least, no more than any other up-and-coming generation C but it does seem to be as popular a sport as ever for older folks (like me) to see signs of an impending apocalypse in the characteristics of youth.? Still, it is a little sad in a general sense, as well as potentially worrisome for our cor...
