That's because picking a watch is – or should be – the result of an internal monologue informed by several factors, including your tastes, biases, personal style, knowledge of the market, budget, wrist size, expectations, and your personal ownership history. Unless I know you very well, I can only provide actionable clarity on maybe two of those factors (budget and market availability). 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 potential antenna is, the better it's going to be at grabbing power out of the air from the EMP and turning it into a current surge – long electrical lines and transmission cables are ideal. This example of the Ref. 1675 was owned and worn by the 51st President of Mexico, José Guillermo Abel López Portillo. While it can't be confirmed, Portillo's family claims it to have been gifted to the politician by Fidel Castro, another aficionado of Rolex watches, and GMT-Masters in particular. It's not unlikely given the close relationship they shared, but alas, there's no concrete evidence. But to blow past the estimate of CHF 80,000 - 120,000? And to set the record for most expensive Omega at auction, ever? I'm not sure anyone could have predicated that. Even though Boutros and the Phillips team are surprised by the final results, he's confident in the watch's quality. 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. Having examined both watches, I feel you get noticeably better fit and finish from the Baumatic COSC (and you had better at twice the price of the Ballade); the improvement in these aspects, as well as the impression one has that the Baumatic COSC has a more clearly defined design identity (if the Tissot has a fault it's that it feels a bit generic) will for some clients with a more exacting eye

I can only assume everyone at the Federal Office Of Metrology in Bern had an extra glass of schnapps after lunch when they got the news. The last Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon watch is the first wristwatch ever to have four separate tourbillons. The ultra-collectible Submariner Kermit first came into Zimmerman’s orbit when she helped buy one for a friend. “But when it arrived and I saw how beautiful it was, I had to have it,” she recalls, explaining that she bought her own in August 2020. In the course of our interview, Coggins positively went off about how much he hates deployant or otherwise complicated (non-tang buckle) watch clasps on leather bands. I told him this is a topic dear to my heart, as I wrote a whole bloody rant for Hodinkee Magazine Volume 11 saying this exact thing. "I don't understand, it's always weird to me that something takes off like that," he told me.
