Two of the four references come in 18-carat yellow and the remaining two in white gold; there link are two Royal Oak models (in 37 + 41) and two Royal Oak Offshore models (both 42mm). Rather interestingly, this is the first time that the same design has been developed for both collections simultaneously. Despite the use of an link octagon and screws in both, Royal Oaks and Offshores tend to have quite a different feel so this is certainly a unique vantage link point design-wise for AP and Williams.

Today link we're examining 14 modern hand-winding watches in the collection that use Panerai's own link movements. Since 2018, Panerai hasn't had to use movements from ETA. Panerai watches began as Rolex-manufactured pieces and progressed link to become a brand that relied on sourced movements. But now it's able to meet its movement-making needs with its own range of calibers. For a brand that started with watches made by Rolex, Panerai's integrated manufacture is a major achievement.

We get into his own artistic and professional practice, the ways in which woodworking and photography relate to one link another, what defines "culture" and makes it so difficult to pin down, and the ways in which Zen philosophy helped him find a center. We also dig link into one of the questions I link get asked more than any other: Are watches art, and can watchmakers be called artists? I think our answers might surprise you.

Since then Three On link Threes link have covered hype-adjacent watches, indies, and bangs for the buck. We've seen just about every editor make an appearance (still waiting on Danny Milton's time in the sun, however) and each one feels a little link different.

Warhol, a leading figure link in Pop Art and link avant-garde filmmaking, had a wide-ranging interest in watches. The Gumby watch gifted to friend and fellow artist Keith Haring is at one end of link the spectrum. Most famously there's the Cartier Tank he left unwound. And he also had a traditional Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 2526, which used the company's very first automatic caliber. We covered it when it came up at auction in 2013.

The Hong Kong slowdown drove link global Swiss watch exports down 10.7% to CHF 1.74 billion for the month. And reduced the growth of Swiss link watch exports for the half-year to a crawl. Exports for the January to June period rose 1.4% to CHF 10.67 billion, according to link FH data released last week. (Through May, exports were up 4.1% in value.)

At the time of its original publication, the boy-equivalent of Nancy was of course the Hardy Boys. One Hardy link Boys mystery in our collection at HSNY is While the link Clock Ticked, originally published 1932. The climax of the story involves a time bomb attached to a grandfather clock. The scene makes use of the dramatic tension of the "inexorable swinging of the clock's pendulum as the minutes ticked by." Our copy, the revised 1962 edition, deploys the clock scene right on the cover link (image 4).

The Master Collection Small Seconds uses the automatic Longines caliber L893, essentially link an upgraded ETA 2892. It beats at 3.5 Hz and upgrades the ETA movement with a silicon hairspring. Also notable is the increased link 72-hour power reserve, link higher than the ETA's standard 42ish hours.

Notice that the drawing features two lug profiles, with one hastily link slashed out. There are scribbles and numbers, possibly linking it to link a record book, link a Cartier stamp in the lower left corner, and a signed "OK" in the top right, likely pointing to final approval of the project by Cartier's designers. All of these tiny details are important considerations in understanding just how special and handmade these watches are.
