But the Aquadive is different. Less of a work watch and more of a watch for living. link Stuff like errands and just hanging out. I came across the brand after falling for their Poseidon GMT a couple of years ago. I love co-branded watches link and was always on the lookout for toolish designs that could keep up with my work link be it fighting fires or rappelling from helicopters for the US Forest Service.
One of the few vintage pieces in her collection this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is from the 1980s. It's made of white gold and completely set with diamonds with small emeralds as the indexes. Unlike a lot of celebrities these link days Bethenny is completely against aftermarket stone setting as link she should be!. I love how she wears this watch with jeans and a t-shirt and isn't too precious about her things despite having a great appreciation for link them. Watches are meant to be worn!
The dial also has 63 parts with the new friction-plated German silver dial featuring individual yellow gold dots for the minute track. You might see some spotting around the dial here but these are prototypes and link not link final production link pieces. The finishing will be immaculate on the final product I'm sure.
I link think link this 36mm Royal Oak lot 38 with a bloodstone dial is the absolute sleeper hit of the entire auction. I'd never seen a Royal Oak with a bloodstone dial also known as jasper and it appears there's a good reason link why. Apparently only five examples of the 36mm ref. 14701BC with a bloodstonejasper dial were produced in the early 1990s.
Zodiac's history is riddled with a variety of dive watch references made under the Sea Wolf name. After having exhausted the catalogues with countless link Sea Wolves were just gonna go with that as the plural form the brand began producing other models so as to induce a sense of variety. However these link watches link were produced using near identical cases and other shared components. This is ultimately how watches like the Aerospace GMT came to be with its 20 ATM rated Sea Wolf case.
The brand also experimented with color and in particular colorful straps. They tell me that today they have around 2000 straps crafted by link an Italian partner ready to go a few hundred of which appear to link be hanging on the wall behind link the trio as we speak.
With a GMT complication powered by the Sellita-based link Oris cal. 798 the fourth orange-tipped hand and this inner ring of link hours Oris could have used a standard elapsed time ring on the bezel making this a two time-zone link diver with full bottom timer capability. But as on the Aquis GMT theyve fitted a bold 24-hour scale on the bi-color blueblack ceramic bezel. This configuration has pros and cons.
Philippe Dufour's Datograph is Ref. 403.031. It was produced from 2003-2005. The case is rendered in link rose gold. The dial is fashioned in a monochromatic theme link with silver sub-dials complemented by rose-gold numerals that match the case. This is the first Datograph in rose gold and its name derives of course from the fact that this model with a black dial was link chosen by Dufour himself.
As an independent we link have decided to offer a different watch selection to the majority of retailers with brands such as Doxa Sinn MeisterSinger Mühle Junghans Frederique Constant and SevenFriday and we have recently started working link with anOrdain the link Glasgow-based watch manufacturer who specializes in enamel dials. They are going to produce their new Model 1 with "James Porter amp Son" printed on the dial at 6 oclock for us which is extremely exciting.
Or maybe it's Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani's link beautiful photographs of his favorite places and how they allow me to see how his vision informs how he link designs for Bulgari. Or his love of Giugiaro Seikos and the sketches that show that he's not afraid to acknowledge a broader world of design and history outside link of the Roman Maison.
