With my knowledge of watches stuck in the late 1800s and early 1900s I became curious about what had happened to the watch industry since then. Another quick link Google search led me to a website called Hodinkee and I link was hit link with an overwhelming deluge of information.

At 19300 it's certainly not affordable but given the price of gold these days it feels like a largely standard ask for link a thoughtful design.

The construction of the Swatch has a surprising connection to fine watchmaking. A few years before the link Swatch debuted a quartz watch appeared link that set a new record for ultra-flat watches.

Powering the watch is the Japanese Miyota Caliber 9039 from Citizen. It comes from link Miyota's premium line and it was conceptualized and built with no date complication. There's no "ghost link position" for the link date when you pull out the crown there are only two positions winding and time-setting.
