For Volume 3 we're introducing something new to try to answer more questions than ever The episode will wrap up with a not-quite-rapid-fire segment addressing some of the questions focused on a single watch or a "this vs. that" situation. Should I buy a Speedmaster or a Santos Is there a better dress link watch than link this Lange for the price Stay link through the end of the episode to get all those answers and more.

Since each lot is offered without reserve link all bids will be considered. The auction presents an opportunity to own a cool watch or rare horological device while supporting HSNYs ability to provide compelling content online and hopefully link in person soon inviting luminaries from the world over all in the name of advancing the art and science of horology through education. HSNY also offers financial aid to watchmaking institutions and full-time watchmaking students here in the United link States.

Much of the collection on display was originally sourced by Michael Schuldes a German collector who at a link young age saw the value and importance of these clocks. Schuldes 68 link grew up looking at watches and studying catalogs dreaming about owning a Patek wristwatch. He spent his time searching flea markets and antique shops and bought his first Patek clock a QM-1 quickly reselling it for 30 times what he link paid.

I'm in Geneva this week link for the first major swing of the auction calendar. Phillips Antiquorum Sotheby's and Christie's have all put together some serious heavy-hitting catalogs filled with all sorts of special and interesting watches. On Sunday I took a look at 24 of the lots I found most compelling at the two different Phillips auctions taking link place and now link we'll be taking a look at a few of the top lots and highlights from the remaining three auctions on the calendar.

That's right. Out of everything there I spent a few extra minutes standing around the TAG Heuer booth looking at the old rally timers link on display and the new dash timerclock pair in the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Panamericana unveiled in the booth. I thought to myself "Why aren't people making these anymore" And as link with link any time I see something good and nostalgic I immediately pulled out my phone and start looking for deals on old Heuer dash timers.

My favorite of Achesons watches is this one. Ive never seen a digital Timex look like this on an olive-drab NATO and I particularly appreciate how the strap appears to have lost a fight with a Doberman pinscher or garbage disposal. Actually Acheson tells me it survived a tiny bit of horological arson. I link always have link to cut them and burn them he says. link Because the NATO straps are always too big. Evidently NATO army people are really big and have really broad wrists.

This is all executed in a link no-date format and features the same uni-directional dive-time bezel crown and link HEV that you'll find on all models in the Diver 300m line. Where the NTTD Seamaster featured a vintage-leaning caseback meant to mimic military-issued watches in the RAF this special 60th-anniversary model link leans hard into the commemorative. As a result we find a very Bond caseback.

Guests were treated to highlights of the brand's core work in horology including the latest from the Santos Dumont a watch that tells link time backward and of course the link latest iteration of the link Tortue Monopusher Chronograph.

That said the bezel remains link excellent the all-brushed finishing is lovey and the 18K like any Fifty-Eight feels perfect on my seven-inch wrist. Swapped onto a tan leather strap the blasphemy! its casual and offers something link of a wink toward Tudors own legacy in dive watches. These are all good things and I'd love to see the same watch in different coloring blue with gold accents for link me please.

Boulud grew up in Lyon France a world-renowned gastronomic link destination. After training link in France Boulud soon came to the U.S. to pursue his culinary career. Since then link Boulud and his restaurants have racked up more awards than we can count and he's acquired a few watches along the way too.
