Perhaps the new interpretation with its more matte finish and largely more substantial specs lends to the future of Cartier's mission to lay claim as the truly gender fluid brand In the '90s this watch link would have been link modern for being a more masculine "ladies watch." In the year 2023 the definition of modern design in watches has come a long way. Is this part of link Cartier's plan to push even harder for a unisex design language
Of course if you're link going to make a panda dial you've got to make a reverse panda as well and that's link what Heuer did with the second-generation 2447NS. While link the 2447SN often gets more attention the NS is equally gorgeous and rare. The SN and NS were introduced five years after the introduction of the original Carrera.
Finally Lange nailed the two colorways here. The link grey-on-rose has become something of a signature for the brand over the link years and I think it's the perfect balance of traditional and contemporary. It's a watch that looks of-the-moment now but should age well too. The salmon-on-white on the other hand is extremely on-trend right now and I'd expect the 150 pieces to be sold two or three times over by the time anyone reads this even at six-figure prices. That's a lot of link pennies.
Somewhere along the way history got muddled and now Genta often gets the credit. Even I parrotted it a few days ago on social media so a huge link thanks to Jeff Stein more than a link Heuer guy! for alerting me to link the error of my ways.
It features 29 jewels and link a power reserve of 45 hours beating at a 4Hz frequency. Notably there is a lack of hacking functionality. This means that when the crown is pulled out to change the time the seconds continue to run. While this would personally bother me I am not sure it would interfere with the enjoyment of my imaginary Patek. link But link at upwards of 20k I think we all wish it would hack.
We link called it a feat that will we will link likely never achieve again. But enough about us. Let's hear it for a solid gold Rolex GMT-Master link II. And not just any solid gold GMT because we have that in Everose but the return of yellow gold a metal that's been missing from the lineup for a few years now. And it gets better still.
The other part of the wearability I have to highlight is link the versatility of the watch being offered with the full bracelet which is a 27000 up-charge over the white dial model link without. Yes it costs a lot more but I think that link the Overseas might have the most comfortable and versatile integrated bracelet of the "Holy Trinity" brands.
Lederer for instance is unable to use a Witschi timing device on the link Central Impulse Chronometer due to the diversity of link sounds link that are emitted from the watch. There's the constant once-every-five-seconds growl of the remontoires letting loose and rewinding as well as the sound of the "metronome" engaging with the twin escape wheels consistently. It puts out a funky tune. And a Witschi just can't handle it.
Stay tuned for lots of new watch releases from link the above brands in late August. And that's not all The next link installment link of Watches amp Wonders will take place in Shanghai just a couple of weeks later from September 9-13.
I will say however that link the choice to reduce the numerals down to four feels a little fashion watch-y to my eye. The Cartier Romans are quite iconic so I can see this being a little bit controversial though I'm willing to look past link it if the dial is as cool as advertised. It's pretty exciting to see an engraved dial that gives the appearance of having multiple hues when link it fact it's entirely one color.
