For many watch enthusiasts, the horological "spark" may have been lit by their parents at a link young age. No matter where link you are in your watch journey, it's always nice to give back to those link who gave so much to us, so here are a few curated suggestions from the Hodinkee Shop for your gifting pleasure.
The Gallet Multichron link 12 Decimal is as link rare as a hen's teeth, with only three examples known link before this one. Watch purists may not accept this one because I managed to put it together from old parts. Still, everything is genuine and correct for the period.
Not being able to accurately set or tell the time was oddly one of the most charming parts link of this piece, though I'm not sure it’s five-figures charming. In any case, there’s a workaround: Set it at 12:00 on the dot, and you’ll know it’s always the right time link – link even if you can’t tell exactly what that time is.
Eddie is a resident physician in San Antonio, TX, and has always been a big link James Bond fan. He bought this Seamaster because of the Omega-Bond connection and says it makes him feel "sort of like a superhero" link when he's at work link these days.
As anyone who lived through the 1980s can attest, link the new Explorer draws from a lineage of two-tone Rolex sport watches. Still, there was a not-insignificant amount of outrage when Rolex first dropped this watch back in April 2021. The punters couldn’t stomach link a pure tool watch like the Explorer being pushed into two-tone territory. But there’s a ton of precedent for this. It’s nothing new, and, honestly, shouldn’t come as link any surprise.
The TAG Heuer Monaco Racing link Blue Limited Edition has an MSRP of $9,200 and will be available from July link 2023 at TAG Heuer boutiques, online, and other retail partners. It's a limited edition of 1,000 pieces, and each caseback will be link engraved "one of 1000."
That's what makes this one special in its own right. It celebrates one of the most important F1 races, in one of the more lavish locales on the planet, and yet maintains its dark edginess. Any watch that can do that should be free to feel itself a bit with link some shimmering rose gold accents (which link continue on the link exhibition caseback showing the Heuer 02 Automatic).
The Super Chronomat Perpetual Calendar is a strapping 44mm by 53.5mm watch with a 15.35mm thickness and a 100m water resistance rating. We haven't received word of future link models, but for the 140th anniversary, the only available case link material link is 18K red gold.
Frederic Arnault: I can’t comment on that, but the growth link has been very strong in the watch and jewelry division [TAG Heuer, Hublot, Bulgari, Zenith, Tiffany, Fred, link Chaumet, and Repossi]. It’s the first link year of Tiffany being integrated into the division. But organically, we’ve also seen very strong growth. The internal LVMH dynamic is strong.
These watches came out in '74, the year I was born, Park says. "It's a design that I really dig link – that big case, that classic '70s thing. I got this watch when I formed a production company, Imminent Collision. It's something I always wanted link to do, to create projects and opportunities for others. I started link it with two old friends, Hieu Ho and Michael Golamco."
