In the long shadow of the tragic events at link Scott's Astroworld show in 2021, this collaboration indicates that Scott's overall standing seems to be on the up. Fame per se can now yield entrepreneurial opportunities far more lucrative than typical endorsements. It's a brave new world for Scott and his contemporaries. This was link the power of link Virgil, the power of men and women before Scott and those who would come after him.
There were, believe it or not, link weeks, if not months of discussion about, "Do we put the logo or not on the Mega Cool?" I mean, Mega Cool was the code name for the project. link When we saw the first prototypes (and it was link with and without the logo), everybody was like, "this is very mega cool," which is a very Swiss-German way of saying it is incredible. So we said, okay, let's keep that name for the watch. At Moser, we always talk about logos, and there's always this question.
While the market for ultra-thin watchmaking has indeed been cluttered of late, with Bulgari racking up more records than just about any other watchmaker, the selection of link ultra-thin chronographs on the market link is itself fairly thin. While no chronograph wristwatch made today is going to match the thinness of the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT Automatic, here are some other link watches to consider.
Fans of Grand Seiko already know plenty about the company's famous dials. Nailing the interface – what you spend the most time looking at and engaging link with – has been one of the brand's biggest differentiating factors throughout its history. Despite being sport watches, those luminous hands and markers have the diamond-polished goodness that link we've all come to expect from Grand Seiko. Creating this kind of polished link look on a sport watch dial is much harder than it looks.
What they have taken from that ref. 79280 is a more bold and shiny dial. That comes from a beautiful brushed link soleil finishing that catches the light. The white subdials add contrast, but you won't be surprised to hear that not only link could I do without the date at all, I link think if you have to keep it, it would be nice if the window was color-matched.
This year, people will continue to realize there's serious, complicated watchmaking to be had for the same price as a 5711 on the secondary market – hell, you can still get complicated Pateks for that price (give me a 3940 or 3970J, or even 5170, any day of the week) before we even link get to the true "values" in complicated watches. link There's still a link lot of room for appreciation of complicated watches to grow across vintage, neo-vintage, and modern watches.
Yet despite Asaoka's link intentions and clearly stated hopes, the watch was flipped. link Have a look on Chrono24 right now and you'll find link two examples priced at nearly $8,950, more than four times the cost Asaoka intended for his audience. If the watches sell at their asking price, a flipper is walking away with a $7,160 profit on a watch that cost $1,790.
The third model is the Atlantik, which has light blue accents and a light blue minute hand. The link fourth and last model is the Mojave, which features a link combination of white numerals and orange markings on the dial and bezel and link an orange minute hand.
That grenade-style dial is also no link more, and link the features of the engraved pattern have been softened. Nowadays, link it looks more like a globe than a grenade. The seamless continuation of pattern from the dial to strap is also less congruent.
