33:40 Exclusive Interview: Charles Woehrle, World War II POW, Shows Us His New Patek Philippe The reality is that the fluting found on most of the brand's case flanks is the result of Daniel Roth's re-envisioning of Breguet wristwatches in the 1970s, inspired by some of Abraham-Louis Breguet's production. The simple, brushed shape seen on this watch references other vintage pocket watches, specifically the more pared-down look of the Souscription series. Unlike the 2015 model, this will not be...

The show's basic conceit is that each episode (save for the finale) takes place within the structure of a classic era in TV sitcom history. The first episode takes place in the 1950s, à la I Love Lucy. There's a '00s episode in the mold of Malcolm in the Middle, and so on. But the best part is, as each decade changes, so do the watches – each one period correct. Buzzsaw bezels, detonators, and abseiling wires are all well and good, but in my mind, the best Bond watch gadget was… the watch...

Lightweight: Most notably, and most talked about, titanium is lighter than steel by about 40 percent. To take that Deepsea Challenge as an example: In titanium it weighs 251 grams – still a heavy watch (like, about the weight of a platinum 5711, which is an absolute barbell of a watch), but Rolex said that in steel it would've weighed closer to 350 grams. The simplest response is that there just wasn't enough time to add any additional Omega lots to the sales – the catalogs would have been long...

You might think that you have seen this Longines before, and with good reason. It was first offered for sale on Instagram in May; and if you saw it then, you probably noticed its resemblance to the recently released Longines Heritage 1945. Granted, the bezels and lugs are slightly different in curvature, but the dial configuration is identical, for good reasons since this re-edition itself was inspired by a vintage piece also from the 1940s. Polo S obviously sounds sexier, but I believe the...

We've seen Vacheron Constantin adding watches with sunburst blue dials paired with pink gold cases to a number of models in its collection of late. Three other Patrimony models with this dial color and case material came out earlier this year at SIHH, and this new reference of the perpetual calendar brings the total of watches configured this way to four. I for one like the color combination. It's easy to root for these watches, which are well-made, distinctive yet wholly un-try-hardy, elegant...

Sure, the 43mm diameter is on the larger side for a vintage-inspired chronograph, but I have a feeling that this pairing with a bracelet as opposed to a strap may mitigate the beefy size and make for a more coherent overall package. I've not yet seen any of these watches paired with the bracelet in person, but I'd like to soon. It's a beautiful way to visualize the complication and it has not only a certain philosophical charm, but also the weight of history behind it, but it has the potential...

The Datejust Turn-o-Graph ref. 1625 (below) is a cool choice, and not one you see too often. It's basically a standard Datejust fitted with a bi-directional bezel (a yellow gold one in the case of McLean's), and it was produced from 1959 to 1977. Given the nickname "Thunderbird" after it was seen on the wrists of pilots on the U.S. The paper was produced in 2010 for none other than Oak Ridge National Laboratories, so it seems reasonably authoritative. The gist of it is that the longer a...

As far as I can tell, there have been a total of six Grand Seiko watches powered by Spring Driver caliber 9R31, including the SBGY002 and SBGY003 from 2019, and a total of four Grand Seiko watches powered by Spring Drive caliber 9R02 (SBGZ001, SBGZ003, SBGZ005, and SBGZ007). We're going to focus on the caliber 9R31-equipped watches. “Our growth is particularly strong in North America,” he explained, because Americans are more inclined to buy new watches at bargain prices outside authorized...

The watch is largely a known quantity so it's the coloring, the ceramic case, and the pair of straps that help it to stand out. I love black and yellow (more on watches than on cars or clothing) and I think that if Arnold was making End of Days today, he'd go for the ceramic as it really suits the vibe of the ROO. This example of the Ref. 4658 is being offered on eBay by a U.S.-based seller for $4,685. The full listing can be found here. One advantage that the Reverso Minute Repeater Tribute...
