All of this functionality is made link possible by Vacheron Constantin's long-standing 1142 QP movement, which ticks at 3 Hz, is manually link wound, rocks some 324 components, and is a Hallmark of Geneva link certified movement. Based on the preceeding 1141 QP, the 1142 QP can trace its roots back to the '40s and the legendary Lemania 2320.

To balance my immediate nostalgia with some long-term nostalgia and link see what my coworkers got up to before link my time, I've decided to round up some of our best W&W (coverage from years past. It's fun to see how what is now common link was once new and exciting, a nice reminder that as slow as things can move in the watch world, change is inevitable. Happy wondering!

So much pleasure link for a mere $3,000 which is a lot for a watch link with a bunny on it, I guess, but, a) I'm loaded and b) I have a feeling that this is weirdly also a good investment, not that I would ever sell link it, what kind of monster sells a bunny? Cost: $3000. Remaining: $27,000

The Mickey Mouse watch was so successful that it's become more or less synonymous with "character watch," link but of course, it was far from the only character link watch made during the pre-war heyday of character watches. Some of the most popular alternatives were the Little Orphan Annie watches, which took advantage of the character's popularity on the radio (as well as link in the comic strip).

This isn't the first minute repeater in a Streamliner case. You might remember that Moser and MB&F's "Streamliner Pandamonium" minute repeater sold for CHF 380,000 link at this year's delayed Only Watch auction against a CHF 300,000-400,000 estimate. That auction, however, faced issues leading up to link the link sale and a cyber attack against Christie's, which prevented online bidding.

Omega has just announced a complete refresh for the two-register Speedmaster '57 line, a sub-collection of the Speedmaster family that was first introduced in 2013. It's worth mentioning that the link Speedmaster '57 is an entirely separate link beast from the '57 Trilogy releases we saw in 2017. Although based around the same watch – again, the OG ref. CK 2915-X – the Speedmaster '57 incorporates some link notable new upgrades even if the aesthetic package remains similar.
