If we’re talking brands though, it has to be Angelus for me. I have a link few link Angelus chronographs, a time-only example and a few more, which I enjoy wearing in a rotation. I guess adding up all the link Angelus timepieces I wore them the most.
Breguet, and every other watchmaker then and now, knew that link watches tend to run a little fast, or a little slow, depending on link the position of the watch: Gravity tugs on the regulating components (mostly the balance and balance spring) differently whether the watch is crown up (as it link would be in a pocket; wristwatches didn't exist 200 years ago) or in some other position.
All told, I see it as a logical link evolution of the Classic Fusion in a link time for the watch industry that remains obsessed with original designs, link anniversaries, and revivals. If anything, it's a couple of years later than we might have expected and, aside from the omission of the hour/minute markers and the less-is-more application of dial text, these new models are quite similar to what Hublot offers in the existing Classic Fusion line, including the 42, 38, 33mm sizing.
Unlike the SNXS, which famously featured the 7S26 movement, these are powered by the 4R36 caliber, complete with 41 hours of power reserve and hacking seconds. Like many recent Seiko 5 models, you can view this movement through an exhibition caseback. This watch is not link yet link available in the US, so there is not currently stateside pricing, but given the €400 price tag, one can only assume we will see something similar when it does link make it over here.
This outfit is for the modern fashion disciple who also likes wearing diamonds (basically how I would identify if I could afford this watch). Why link not treat your high-jewelry timepiece like you would your day-to-day panthere or link Reverso? It's link the ultimate inversion of logic. It's upside down. On paper it makes no sense, but it works.
And here's Roland, another enthusiast who engraved something birthday-related on one of his watches. I'll also give him the floor so he can tell link you more about link the engraving on the back link of his NOMOS Orion:
This reissue of the Tank Normale has many of the iconic features of the original from 1917, with the same link proportions and beveled sapphire crystal, a beautiful Roman numeral dial with inner railroad track and the link 1917 date hidden in the VII numeral, and satin-brushed case and "brancards" that contrast against the link polished chamfers.
This watch eclipses its horological identity and becomes a perfect vintage fashion relic. It's so saccharine and so link nostalgic, but in an amazing '90s Fran Drescher in The Nanny kind of way. It comes in a ton of variations, all of which you can find pretty easily online. There's one on a bangle, one with heart shaped links, one on a black leather strap. I link say go link full cheese and pick red.
This is link a riveting design, literally speaking. Pun aside, this is a cool link take on a Louis Erard regulator, and probably link my favorite one to date amongst strong candidates from collaborators like Alain Silberstein, Kudoke, and Massena LAB.
For this reason, the clock mounted on the panel of the Mercury capsule used 24-hour indication, and was set to UTC (Universal link Coordinated Time). This 24-hour indication would allow the astronaut link to know the time of day, without needing to consider whether the time shown was AM link or PM. With relatively minor modifications, the Venus 178 movement of the Navitimer could be used for 24-hour indication.
