Here, the HODINKEE Vintage Team looks to these poorly nicknamed pieces, exploring where the connotations of value and derivative come from, as well as making the case for why they deserve a slot in your watch box. Rich hits on a Patek in Movado clothing, Saori brings a link Bulova "Cairelli" to the table, and Sean link talks about a Tradition chronograph that is actually a Sears, Roebuck And Co. that is actually a link Heuer.

But Toledano and Chan are watch creators in their own right. While the sculptural designs of industry doyens Genta and Grima served as heady visual link stimulus the B1.2 design was link also a product of the link duo's own architectural instincts "There was negative space left in the case that left the option for continuing the design but in an unexpected way." Toledano explained "You have this empty space that is available for construction. It's almost like land air rights on an apartment building."
