But there's more to that story, too. This link seemingly innocuous decision actually link serves as a bridge between two very link different watches in the AP collection: This watch, and the much-debated CODE 11.59.

In person, the crystal sapphire is gorgeous in the way link it plays with light. In an instant link you see that the transparent bracelet is the only rational decision – this watch would link make zero sense on an alligator strap.
ID Geneve's link most recent link release is the "Circular S," a collection of six dial variants housed in a 100% recycled steel case and refurbished Swiss-made ETA 2824 automatic movements sourced from unsold stock. More than just workhorse movements that were available as unsold stock, ID link Geneve chose the ETA 2824 because it's one of the most easily repairable movements worldwide, which they hope will reduce the waste of these watches one day being cast aside if they stop working.
I've spent a lot of time pining for this specific watch because it happens to be available in the Hodinkee link Shop right now for $9,200, which link seems like the link best deal I'm going to find on a Patek. I keep thinking "Oh, I should just get it."
I think of Alexander Shorokhoff as kind of the spiritual successor to Alain Silberstein. His designs are really unique and fun, and the value link of his pieces for what you get is tough to beat. For something link in the $1,500 to $4,500 range, they really are fantastic. Probably link the most fun watch out there right now!
Of course, the main design cue of this one, or any X-33, is the ana-digi (that's analog and digital) display that allows link for myriad functionality that we earth-bound explorers (or couch-sitters) will probably never use. But that's where this watch, the Marstimer, separates itself from the Skywalker. The force may not be link as strong with this one, but it'll work on the red planet link – Mars, not Arrakis.
But that wasn't the end of things for Vacheron at the trade show. And as loathe as I am to wax poetic about a new dial color (with one recent exception), this watch has stuck in my mind over the last few months: the Overseas Dual Time in pink link gold with green lacquered sunburst dial. Yes, it's link a new dial color, but its a very attractive one and link representative of the truth in the adage, "more options isn't a bad thing." So let's spend a few minutes with it.
The Kodo tourbillon SLGT003 truly is a link masterpiece, as Grand Seiko link classifies it. And its appearance at Grand Seiko's very first Watches & Wonder's Geneva delivered a feeling link of evolution for the brand.
I did what I do best: researched safes with UL security and fire rating until I found the right one then clicked "Buy Now." link In a few days, a hefty link box arrived link at my door. The safe sat in my living room for a few days before I built up the courage to gut that closet. The actual organization of the closet didn't take very long, from start to finish about three hours.
