WHY THIS WATCH A surprising offering from Fortis, which is known for making sporty chronographs. The Fortis Terrestis a refreshingly simple time and date only watch, with a very graceful and elegant design.

At 40mm and only 10mm thick, this watch will slip under any cuff. Inside you've got a bulletproof ETA 2895-2. It's not decorated like a Patek, but it is a reliable workhorse movement that enables this watch to be at a reasonable price-point.

WHY THIS WATCH

Founded in 1960, Grand Seiko has gone through many changes an evolutions over the last 6 decades. At last, it seems like the latest offerings from Grand Seiko are serious contenders for the Swiss alternatives. 

 

This particular Grand Seiko Spring Drives takes it's inspiration from nature. The dial is inspired Lake Suwa in Japan. The lake goes through a deep freeze in the winter giving it the same icy blue, rippled look as the dial. Along the case, you'll find the same zaratsu finish that made Grand Seiko famous. At 38.5mm in diameter and 10.2mm thick, this watch is going to fit most people like a glove. 

 

This watch is powered by the SpringDrive reference 9R31, which has a 72 hour power reserve and was set to +or- 1 second a day from the factory.  The back is nicely finished in the utilitarian style that has become the trademark of Grand Seiko. 

 

On the wrist, this watch is really all dial. Besides the amazing fit, the dial jumps out as the distinguishing feature, changing color and texture depending on the lighting. The Black strap has blue stitching on the sides, probably the ideal combination for this watch. Honestly, this one might unseat the Grand Seiko Snowflake as the ultimate. Retail price is $8,300. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS Watch was purchased from an AD in 2021. Watch is Near Mint, worn only a handful of times, and comes with the full set of box, manual and paperwork, including warranty card from August 2021. The case and black strap are all around 95%.

WHY THIS WATCH

 

Grand Seiko, renowned for its exquisite case finishing, intricate dial textures, and innovative movements like the Spring Drive and hi-beat, has also garnered attention for producing sizable sports watches. While models such as the SBGC231 Spring Drive chronograph and the SBGJ239 hi-beat GMT are undeniably stunning, they exceed 44mm, categorizing them as "big" timepieces. However, in the fall of 2020, Grand Seiko responded to this by unveiling a set of more compact sports watches: the SBGE253, 255, and 257.

 

The latest 40.5mm Spring Drive GMT boasts superior finishing, features an elegant ceramic bezel, and offers 200M water resistance. It operates as a genuine GMT with an independent hour hand and comes with a newly designed bracelet. The bracelet is a significant improvement, complete with a micro-adjust clasp.

 

 

THE LITTLE DETAILS Introduced in 1925, the Gruen Quadron features a rectangular case with recessed crown. 15 Jewel manual winding Gruen movement is running strong. Case measures 24mm Wide by 38mm Long.

WHY THIS WATCH

This beautiful chronograph has hands inspired by the batons of an orchestra conductor. It's topped with a gorgeous blue dial that has a wonderful sheen, especially in direct light. At 41mm, this watch fits more like a 40mm due to the compact lugs. Inside we have the Hamilton H-21 chronograph movement, which has an extended power reserve of 60 hours. This is a fantastic chronograph in the sub $1,000 range. 

 

THE LITTLE DETAILS Watch is 2021, and a one owner watch in Near Mint condition with only the lightest wear from being tried on. Comes with Box and Papers.

WHY THIS WATCH

For many of us, the IWC Big Pilot was always a watch we wanted, yet at 46mm it was prohibitively big. The new 43mm Big Pilot solves this problem, and throws in an in-house movement, and IWC's clever strap changing system which allows you to change the strap with literally the press of a button.

 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch was only worn a handful of times and is in Near Mint condition, see pictures. The watch was purchased in 2021 and still under IWC warranty for 7 years. Comes with box papers and stamped warranty card. Please note there is one additional hole punched in the leather strap, see picture.

WHY THIS WATCH 

The IWC Portofino Chronograph, first introduced in 1984, is a timeless watch from IWC. Inspired by the Italian fishing village Portofino, it embodies elegance and simplicity. The IW391007 model, released in 2011, features a stainless-steel case, sapphire glass, and a silver-plated dial, enhancing its classic, refined style.

 

The IWC Portofino Chronograph IW391007 stands out for its sleek design and precision. Its 42mm stainless-steel case, silver-plated dial, and polished appliqués exude sophistication. Driven by a self-winding 75320 calibre movement, it boasts a 44-hour power reserve. The watch's day-date display and chronograph function enhance its practicality and desirability for watch enthusiasts.

 

The IWC Portofino Chronograph IW391007 houses the self-winding calibre 75320, a reliable and precise movement. With 25 jewels, it offers a 44-hour power reserve and operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour. The Calibre 75320 also includes a chronograph function, day-date display, and small hacking seconds, ensuring practicality and accuracy for wearers.

 

This is a real sleeper watch that should get more attention than it does. The first thing that stands out when wearing this watch is that it's not a very thick watch for being a chronograph. The 13.5mm thickness is very refreshing. It's also under 50mm lug to lug so it'll fit pretty well on even smaller wrists. I would say this wears like a 41 or even a 40mm watch. The case design and pushers have a very unique, almost Italian style. The watch can be easily dressed up and down depending on the strap. Overall a fantastic watch for the money, it's no wonder this watch has been a staple of the IWC collection for a while now.

 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

The watch was barely worn and is in Near Mint condition with only very minor surface wear. I'd give the case 9.3/10. The movement is running strong, keeping good time with no issues whatsoever. The watch comes with the original IWC warranty card from 2017. It comes on the original IWC leather strap, with a factory IWC buckle. The strap was barely worn and is around 9/10. Comes with an aftermarket box.

WHY THIS WATCH

The IWC Portuguese line was born when two Portuguese businessmen commissioned IWC to create a few wristwatches that had the accuracy of marine chronometers. At the time, the only way IWC could achieve this was to install pocket watch movements into these watches. This made the watches bigger than what was popular at the time. The theme of a big, highly legible and accurate wristwatch continued to IWC's present day Portugieser. 

 

 

IWC unveiled the original IWC Portuguese 7 Day (ref. 5001) in the year 2000. This watch was a real game-changer for IWC, as it showcased IWC's serious watchmaking and engineering prowess. The calibre 5000 used for this watch was the result of 4 years of R&D. The Pellaton winding system in this movement is based on a patent from the 1950's, developed by Albert Pellaton, IWC's technical director during the 1940s. 

 

 

IWC did a major update to the Portuguese 7 Day in 2015. The New 52010 calibre features the use of ceramic parts, which will be virtually impervious to wear. Additionally, IWC installed a free-sprung balance system, which helps increase the accuracy of the movement as it approaches days 6 and 7 of the Power Reserve. 

 

 

On the wrist, this watch feels large, with large 22mm spacing between the lugs, and clocking in at nearly 50mm lug to lug. The 42.3mm diameter is not that big on paper, but remember this watch is nearly 14mm thick. Having said that, I have average wrists and can wear this watch every day. I think the deployment clasp is a must, as it balances out an otherwise top heavy watch. Once you've got this watch strapped on, the dial with those gorgeous blued Arabic numerals and hands becomes the star of the show. It feels great knowing that I can lay this watch down for 7 days and it'll still be ticking. The huge date display at the bottom is also great to have. Flipping it over, you can tell IWC did a huge refresh for this movement. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS Watch was purchased in 2018 from an IWC Authorized Dealer and comes with the full set of Box and Papers, including stamped warranty card dated 2018. This watch is in Near Mint Condition, around 95%. Sides of case are very clean, almost perfect, some scratches on the deployment buckle and a little wear on the strap. The strap has most of it's life left, I would say it's around 80%. The movement is running strong without any issues.

WHY THIS WATCH

History of the Portuguese 

 

The IWC Portuguese line was created in the 1930's when two Portuguese wholesalers approached IWC to commission a large wristwatch that carried the precision of a pocket watch. The 43mm reference IWC 325 was created as a result. Although this reference was not a big seller for IWC at the time, it gained a cult-like following decades later. It also paved the way for the IWC's Portuguese lineup. The modern Portuguese line pays homage to the original reference 325, with a range of watches that are around 41mm in diameter with a focus on big, accurate movements.

 

 In 1998 IWC launched the IWC Portuguese Chronograph, reference 3714. With it's perfect proportions, and a simple yet elegant dial layout, this reference would soon become IWC's high selling and most popular watch. In 2020, IWC released the reference 3716 which was a major update to the Portuguese Chronograph. Most notably, the reference 3716 was powered by IWC's in-house chronograph movement. 

 

A formula that works 

 

Outside of the new In-House movement, IWC didn't change much when it introduced this new reference, and that is a smart decision in our opinion. The design and engineering elements that made this watch so beloved were not changed. Namely, the case of this watch is very compact, at 41mm and 13mm in height. The dial is simple, but very elegant and extremely legible. This is a watch that can be worn by almost anyone and for any occasion. 

 

In House Calibre 69355

  

The biggest change to the Portuguese Chronograph is the introduction of the in-house movement, reference 69355. This movement is far superior to the Valjoux 7750 in the older model. It's a column wheel chronograph, meaning it's smoother upon activation. Also the power reserve is up a few hours to 46. 

  

Wrist Impressions

 

This watch was always been one of my favorite references, not just from IWC but from any brand. It's just the perfect size for my average 6.5 inch wrist. I can't stop staring at those Arabic numerals. There's something just so special about this dial. I would venture to say this is the most beautiful and readable dial of all time. I find that this watch dresses down pretty well with the brown suede strap. 

 

THE LITTLE DETAILS This watch was purchased in 2022 from an Authorized IWC Dealer, and has a full IWC WARRANTY UNTIL 2030. It comes with the full set of box, and papers, including IWC Warranty card with matching serial number. This watch was only worn a dozen times, and is in overall Near Mint Condition with only very minor wear. This watch retails for $19,200.

WHY THIS WATCH

Razor Thin, unique and One of a Kind

 

Jaeger Le-Coultre has been known for it's mastery of ultra-thin mechanical pieces since the early 1900s. JLC mastery is in full frame with this Vintage Inspired Ultra thin mechanical watch released in 100 pieces for The King's Man movie.   

 

Impossibly Thin Movement

 

This watch is only 4.2mm thick and was inspired by an ultra-thin pocket watch from 1907, nicknamed The "Le Couteau" which means "the knife". This movement has a pocket watch architecture and is composed of 123 components and is assembled by the same watchmakers that are in charge of JLCs grand complications. The 849 is not only thin but also known for it's reliability. 

   

Slim Case

 

The movement is housed in an all Pink-Gold 40mm case. At 4.25mm, this watch is beyond thin. You won't have to worry about this watch slipping under any cuff. Just as interesting is the winding crown at 12. There's a vintage style bow that covers the winding crown that was inspired by the original pocket watch. The bow is angled towards the lugs, so it doesn't stick out in front of the case. I was worried about how easy it would be to wind such a crown. I'll say this is probably the easiest winding watch I've ever laid fingers on. The bow acts like a perfect holder for your finger and the crown is very free flowing. 

   

Wrist Impressions

 

This watch is an easy choice for a standout dress watch that no-one else has. On the wrist, this watch cuts such an elegant and seamless profile. The bow at 12 really makes this watch look and feel special, and isn't obtrusive at all. The watch is a joy to wind, and the dial is refreshingly simple. The gator band is one of the most supple ones we have handled. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is #1 out of 100. Watch was purchased from an JLC AD in 2021 and is Brand New, never worn. It is under JLC's warranty until 2029. It comes with the full set of box and papers.
