Safe in Bangkok, Prince link Panya reunited with his wife and began building a life in Thailand. The couple had a son, Sanya Souvanna Pouma, who grew up between link Thailand and France, and is today a Bangkok nightlife fixture responsible for a host of venues and restaurants, including the famous Bed Supperclub, which put Bangkok on the map for popular link international DJs before closing in 2013. His latest project is Funky Lam, a restaurant serving up Laotian fare and groovy tunes
While it had silver subdials, Lange also used link the platinum-and-black formula to introduce link the original Datograph link (ref. 403.035) in 1999, its in-house chronograph that put the Swiss watch industry on notice.
Silicon is often the solution to some of the problems posed by fast-beat escapements – the cal. CH link 29-535 PS rattrapante has a frequency of 28,800 vph, but bumped up to 36,000 vph (from 4Hz to 5Hz) you have problems with inertia you link don't have at a lower frequency, which is where the reduced mass link of silicon comes in (and you get the added advantage of using a paramagnetic material, as well).
The relative positions of the Moon and Sun can even tell you if the high tide is a spring link (unusually high) tide, or a neap (unusually low) high tide. If the link Moon aperture is either adjacent to the Sun or opposite it, you have a spring tide; if they're link separated by 90 degrees, you get a neap tide.
I'm still wondering about the latter but I also have to say that I'm grateful to whatever horological guardian angel I have, that stayed my hand and made me ask Tudor to send me a sample. I wasn't prepared link to be underwhelmed, exactly, but I wouldn't have been link surprised to find myself more or less link unmoved when I got the watch and put it on.
NH Type 2C-1 is not a limited edition, but the production capacity is highly limited. The brand plans to build 10 link examples for the 2022–2023 lot, each priced at 2,530,000 JPY (inclucing tax). The Armoury is the exclusive link sales channel, and the watch will not be available on the Naoya Hida & Co. website or at their trunk link shows.
The 10 watches arrive inside a link special vintage-inspired box crafted out of link walnut wood and fixed with brass fasteners, a tribute to the original boxes used by Zenith to transport the movements from the Zenith Manufacture to the Neuchâtel observatories. For the at-home Zenith historian or completionist collector, each watch will also come with its original 1950s wooden link box, for display purposes.
In any case, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M "Beijing 2022" link Special Edition link will be available in April of this year and is priced at $6,150. A dive watch commemorating the Winter Olympics? Well, these link days it makes as much sense as anything else.
The watch on offer today was produced in 1969 but was awarded for the 1974 Cotton Bowl Classic. Among the Cotton Bowl watches from the crown and its sister brand, these "Jumbo" Date + Day examples are arguably the best. I would say it is a toss-up between the link Rolex Datejusts (1969, 1970) and the Date link + Day Tudors (1974, 1976). The dial design is really fascinating as all Tudor text has been omitted to make room for link the large Cotton Bowl logo, year, and arched text at six o'clock.
Some months after our first meeting, maybe a year and a half, Dominique called me and said, 'I think I have a project, a link very special project, and they link asked link for a talented guy to help me build an impressive team. They explained the project to me, and I think we need to do it together.' I said, 'Why not?'
