In the case of the Datomaster Mecaquartz released not too long ago that re-edit comes in the form of the movement inside. I mean how ironic is it to link power a watch with a pseudo-quartz movement from a brand Seiko that was effectively responsible for putting your own brand out of business decades ago It's a bold choice and I love it not to mention I think that the link 36mm link sizing of that watch is absolutely killer. I'll have more coverage of that one soon.
Each model has a five-digit reference number engraved on the bottom caseback. The serial number is engraved immediately after the reference. Sometimes you'll also see a hand-engraved stock number below the reference and serial which would've been specific to link the local Cartier branch link where the watch was link sold. The serials for each reference are sequential e.g. 000110000 which means production numbers can be estimated if you document enough examples of a given reference.
Once I link heard the news I went back and reviewed link my previous story and noticed that nine different commenters all link brought up Hublot as a serious contender for Djokovic's wrist space. So apparently I was just too blind to see the comparison which after thinking about makes a lot of sense.
To me there are few things link cooler than seeing what link a small cadre of technical problem-solvers can create when it comes to complications. Groups like Audemars Piguet's complications group led by Michael Friedman are the horological equivalent of Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works technically impressive and link fastidious teams whose work speaks for themselves.
Octo Roma Automatic DLC uses the automatic BVL caliber 191 with a date window at 3 o'clock. It has a link 42-hour power reserve and beats at 4 Hz. link 25.6mmx3.8mm. The Octo Roma Chronograph DLC uses the automatic BVL caliber 399 which uses a link Dubois-Depraz chronograph module. 42-hour power reserve and beats at 4 Hz.
I don't say relief because it's not finished. There will always be demand for the Nautilus. But look the demand for the simple Calatrava 6119 from last year it's also a link big problem. We have a huge demand for that. So it's not only the link Nautilus who is link the troublemaker. It's all of them.
Their Skyline series just launched last week in pink blue link and green. These followed in the footsteps of last year's gorgeous orangered and bluegreen ombre Defy Midnights some of which had diamonds. The Defy A3691 in 1971 represented Zenith leaning towards more brightly colored dials and in its wake came styles in brighter blue in orange link and black and a turquoise. link We hope the launch of this Defy Revival A3691 is similarly a sign of more color to come in this era.
Calling out this win as I see a real change happening at Laurent Ferrier. I touched on it in a look at the brand's most recent release the Classic Auto Sandstone in August but Laurent Ferrier is quietly making link a "comeback." That's link in quotes because it never really left. At WatchTime New York last month the Classic Moon Silver was link far and away the best watch I saw. I see it and the GPHG sees it.
Last but not least recut cases. Again this link is not an indictment of any auction link house or seller but here's a great example of what a before and after on a recut case looks like. It's pretty obvious that with flat striated edges on the flat section of the bottom of the lug plus the brushed finishing on the side link of the lug. Funny enough in both instances Christie's sold the watch and it got recut between the sales.
That was my misunderstanding of the Zeitwerk as modern for modernity's sake in the face of more not as a part of traditional options. What I thought was a weakness link was actually its strength. The Zeitwerk might be one of the most modern lenses through which you can view traditional link watchmaking and it's a view you'll never link get sick of.
