We feel it’s our duty to inform the watch loving public of moments that could, in fact, go unnoticed to most, and would later cause great regret to said community. This is one of those #watchnerd public service announcements. There is a steel Patek Philippe 1518 in New York. I’ve seen it. And you should too, because who knows when you’ll get a chance to see this holiest of holies of rare Pateks again. It’s at the Phillips Geneva Watch Auction: Four highlights tour, which is here in New York City through October 17.

Some major watch brands seem to really think highly of ceramic as a case material and Blancpain is among them.

The Vacheron Constantin Harmony collection was very, very big news two years ago, when it debuted at the 2015 SIHH. Intended to kick off the company’s 260th anniversary celebrations (along with the super-complication pocket watch, reference 57260), the collection included several show-stoppers. From a collector and connoisseur’s standpoint, one of the most interesting of the new pieces was the Harmony Chronograph – a monopusher chronograph, featuring an entirely new movement, in a large-ish gold cushion case. Our first real hands-on look with the Harmony Chronograph was in the context of a Three On Three comparison between it, the A. Lange & Söhne Datograph, and Patek’s 5170G chronograph. Recently, Vacheron announced a slew of new versions of existing watches (as well as a new complete calendar), including an update to the Harmony Chronograph. This seems an appropriate time to revisit our initial thoughts and to dig into the new model.
The choice for dive watches is quite literally endless. There are thousands of good, very good, or extremely good dive watches out there. There are also plenty of so-so dive watches, so it is very possible to lose track of what’s what in this popular category. Thus, we feel it is our duty to share some options outside the beaten path of Submariners, Seamasters or Panerais. One of these options is Clerc, a brand dedicated to dive watches with a bold design. Today, we bring you the Clerc Hydroscaph GMT Power Reserve Chronometer, first introduced last year, in one of our extensive reviews, including specs, lots of pictures and of course, our personal thoughts!
