August 25, 2008
A tribute to the giant of the seas in an ultra-virile interpretation of the traditional chronograph. The bezel, made from the fusion of rusted steel from the liner and steel from the Irish shipyards where it was built, enhances the architecture of the multi-level dial. Coal from the hold of the shipwreck provides a variation of black finishes, satin-finished on the emblematic transversal cross and a snailed sun pattern for the counters. A veritable timekeeping instrument with an intense personality, a symbol of power and the extreme.

Hublot Big Bang “Ayrton Senna”
March 17, 2008
This Hublot Big Bang looks the part if you ask me and there is no doubt that it might be one of the few Hublots to fetch a better price than list. The key is the price of course. Since there will be 500 of these I would expect them to be in the very low 20’s, or even below that. Read more

True North by Arnold and Son “The Real Deal”
March 6, 2008
The True North Perpetual is one of the most amazing mens watches from Arnold and Son that shows their commitment to superb craftsmanship. This is a mechanical manual-winding movement that has 7 day power reserve.
It still has Cotes de Geneve designs within its movement. The movement runs on a single barrel spring that determines the high precision of this watch. Its highest precision can be experienced within the first 4 days of elapse.
The company produces only limited edition of this watch where only 25 pieces are made with platinum, or white gold, and palladium alloy. The case is 45mm in diameter with a transparent caseback made of sapphire crystal.
Within its white dial there are many indicators and counters. Its moon phase located at 9 is calculated base on 29.5 days with a true visible face of the moon.
There is also the perpetual calendar where the date counter is presented at 4, and the month and leap year is indicated at 1.
True North Perpetual can provide double equation of time where it is able to show the time difference between true solar time and mean solar time. This indication is placed at 7 where it is presented in minutes.
It needs to incorporate the true solar time dial mechanism to allow speed in its calculation. It is the first watch to indicate the true solar time at a particular place and also present the true geographical North at noon solar time.
The 24 hour hand with a solar shape can assist in indicating the second time zone or local time zone simply by adjusting the true Solar Time against the outer dial ring after correcting the difference in location. The hand is adjusted with the pusher at 10.
To allow for changing time zones, it would just need to adjust the outer dial ring by the difference between the longitude of the current location and the longitude of the time zone center.
This outer dial ring can be easily adjusted with the crown at 8. It also helps to include daylight saving correction into the watch with this mechanism.

The structured design of this mechanism has its roots in modern architecture and, as lightnium is an extremely light material, the mechanism has been pierced.
Fendi Dual Time
March 4, 2008

At this point I don’t know if I am just biased or what ever the guys at URWERK come out with I just think is awesome. I wish there is a more “affordable” URWERK in the future.

HD3 Three Minds Black Titanium
February 21, 2008
Things are looking up for “alternative” ways to read time. I see more and more imagination used in the design of such displays. To be honest this system is nothing new since this is a derivative of jumping hours and digital minutes APs and Pateks from the 20’s. Less aggressive, of course, but the very same concept nonetheless. The mecanism is a jumping hour (I sincerely hope so) since otherwise it would be unreadable and minutes plus seconds wheel. The “Three Minds” is a great piece of kit for the lovers of Oversize watches. A bit agressive but good enough to be recommended to anybody with a more “modern” taste in fashion. My guess is that it will be around the 50k mark. It sounds a bit excessive yet there will be only 33 pieces made in the different combos (Black Titanium, Rose Gold and Titanium/Rose Gold) which makes it more costly.
