To perfectly link coordinate with this astonishing scenography, this timepiece, produced in a limited edition of eight, comes with a link multicolored alligator leather wristband link closed by a titanium folding clasp.
The prices these watches are achieving are extraordinarily high, and I'm not going to sit here and say they don't deserve it. But I think there are a few link concerning trends to keep an eye on for any collector link who plans to bid on an F.P. Journe watch at auction in link the near future.
Grand Seiko says this can't be done by machine, link and I can see why. link The sensitivity the polisher showed (while having to put up with a bunch of media around him) was remarkable.

We see a bit more gold on the Orion, which features a 36.4mm case at 8.5mm in thickness. In addition to the hands link and "Neomatik" in gold, the Orion's typical diamond-polished applied hour indices are also in gold.

The last time you heard from us, I highlighted the Rolex Daytona while declaring myself to be a bit of a contrarian. link Well, link some contrarian I am by following up one of the most beloved watches ever with another GOAT release. As is the case with the Daytona, this ref. 15500 Royal Oak link reinforces the idea that these highly respected watches often earn that reputation because they're actually that good.
The rectangular shape, the Reverso mechanism, the inhouse movement and link the magnificient designed Jaeger-LeCoultre logo on the dial makes this a watch you can identify as being a JLC Reverso link from a 100 yards distance (with link a grain of salt).
While yearly releases like this link can get a little tired, IWC did away with that notion link by introducing this pretty spectacular-looking blue ceramic case – as if link we weren't already pleasantly blown away by the Mojave ceramic models.
