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.

WHY THIS WATCH

MasterClass in Subtlety & Old School Watchmaking 

 

Breguet is a brand that you really have to look at in a closer and deeper way to appreciate. This watch is a perfect example. At first glance this is a simple, time-only dress watch with a plain dial. What's so remarkable about this watch to justify the $21,000 retail price?  

It's All about the Dial 

 

The dial here is a perfect example of Breguet's approach to watchmaking. This dial is a Grand Feu "Great Fire" Enamel. The way this dial is made is an extremely time-consuming process in which layers of enamel are added to the dial, which then gets heated in a fire to cast the layers in the place. The base layer alone can contain up to 8 layers. If one mistake is made, the enamel can crack and the entire dial must be thrown out. Are the results worth it? Yes, they are, and you gotta see an enamel dial in person to appreciate it. The dial on this watch can be described as "Whiter than White" or "Pure White". It's just something special that you can't get any other way. Also, enamel never loses it's luster. Just take a look at the catalogs of vintage watches with enamel dials to see how well this type of dial ages. 

Take a look at the subdial on this watch, and notice how it sinks effortlessly, with no transition edge. I have no idea how this was done. The aforementioned dial is the perfect backdrop for those gorgeous blued hands and hand painted black Breguet numerals. 

Slim Case

 

The first thing you notice when strapping this on, besides the standout dial, is how slim this watch is. At only 6.5mm thick, this watch is very thin and comfortable despite being 40mm. You also have a cool fluted middle section that adds some contrast to the case.

 

Calibre 502.35D

 

Breguet certainly isn't a slouch when it comes to movements. This watch is powered by the Calibre 502.35D, which is an ultra slim automatic movement with a 45 Hour Power Reserve. Flipping the watch over you'll notice the movement is beautifully decorated with beveled bridges, Guilloche, Cotes de Geneve, and polished wheels/screws. While this movement is not going to win any awards for innovation, it's a very finely finished and slim movement that's going to provide reliable timekeeping. 

  

Wrist Impressions

 

This watch has such a simple and elegant look and feel. It's truly a dress watch par excellence. What I love most about this dial besides the enamel is it's legibility. There's no sub-dials (other than the offset seconds) to block your view of the hour and minute hands. Also, the wood on the box is really outstanding, and was a nice surprise.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch was purchased from an Breguet AD in 2018 and was worn sparingly. Case and bracelet are around 90%, with very minor wear throughout. Watch is running strong. Comes with all you see in the pictures, including beautiful elm wood box, outer cardboard box, manuals and warranty paperworkAvailable for Pickup in our Showroom in Mclean, Virginia

WHY THIS WATCH

Zenith celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the El Primero, one of the greatest chronograph movements ever made, with this special 18k Gold Revival of the original Gold El Primero Chronograph, the G381 released in the sixties. This watch has been released exclusively through horological media platform, HODINKEE. Only 50 examples were made and sold. 

With this watch, Zenith attempted to make the revival as close to the original G381 as possible. Clocking in 38mm, it's true to the original diameter and gives the perfect fit for a revival. This watch has a Panda White Dial, and unlike it's steel counterpart, this watch has Non-Overlapping sub-registers, which was characteristics of the original gold chronograph. Also noteworthy is the acrylic crystal, which we always like on a vintage revival. This watch is powered by the legendary El Primero chronograph movement. On the backside the case is numbered xx/50, and engraved *1969-2019*.

On the wrist, this watch is effortless. Zenith hit this one right on the head, with a perfect diameter, and great vintage vibes. This watch takes well to a variety of different straps, but is partial to dark brown. 

One last thing I'll mention is the Warranty. This watch comes with a staggering 50 year complimentary warranty from Zenith! Yes you read that right. The warranty will cover any manufacturing defects, as well normal wear and tear of components, and covers the cost of all servicing during this period. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS Watch was purchased from in 2021 and with the full set of Box and Papers, including warranty card from Hodinkee.

WHY THIS WATCH

It's rare for Cartier to come out with watches that have a completely new case shape. That was the case for the Drive De Cartier, which was introduced at SIHH in 2016. Think of a more rounded version of the Cartier tank, and you come close to the cushion shape of this watch. 

Besides the case, you get a lot of the intersting details Cartier is known for, including the Blue Spinel cabochon gemstone set into the crown, some very nice Guilloche and radial patterns on the dial, and a set of gorgeous blued hands that change depending color depending on the lighting. This watch somehow straddles the line between new and old. It seems like the design of this watch is going to age very well and still look classic as the years roll on. 

This watch is powered by the Cartier 1904-PS, which is an in-house automatic calibre introduced in 2010. It's certainly not the most exclusive calibre on the market, but for the price you're getting a reliable workhorse movement that's appropriate for a dressed up daily wearer. 

On the wrist, this watch is deceptively comfortable. Although it's 40mm, it fits much smaller due to the case design and 12mm case height. Overall, I would say that for the retail price of $6,800, this is a fantastic daily wearing watch that's going to look good years down the line. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS Watch was purchased from in 2021 and comes with the full set of Box, Papers, Warranty Card, as well as an additional leather strap. This watch has been registered with Cartier Care, is UNDER CARTIER WARRANTY UNTIL 2029. The watch is Near Mint, and was worn only a handful of times, around 95%-97%.

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

For nearly two decades, Breitling has been collaborating with luxury car manufacturer, Bentley. In 2021, it was announced that the two brands would be ending their collaboration. It all started in 2002, when Bentley introduced an onboard Breitling Clock inside the cabin of their Continental GT.

WHY THIS WATCH

The Breitling Chronomat first made it's appearance in 1941 with the reference 769 which was a significant model in watchmaking history, as it featured the first slide rule complication on a chronograph. The Slide Rule allows users to perform computations, and conversions, making it a type of manual smartwatch. 

The Chronomat got a huge refresh in 1984, when Breitling teamed up with the Italian Jet Team, Frecce Tricolori. This was the foundation of the design language seen in modern Chronomats and the point at which the Chronomat became primarily a pilots watch. 

The Chronomat Evolution first appeared in Breitling's catalog in 2004, at which point it got a bigger diameter and beefier case.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Unlike other examples for sale, this bracelet comes with a full two tone bracelet. This watch was purchased from it's original owner and comes with the full set of box and papers, including the Chronometer Certificate, and warranty paperwork. The serial numbers on the back of the movement matches all the paperwork. The watch is in unpolished condition and has some wear from normal use. The case and bracelet are around 85-87%.

The dial and crystal are flawless. The movement is running strong, with the chronograph resetting to zero. The bracelet comes with enough links to fit a very big wrist.

WHY THIS WATCH

Don't let it's simplicity, or entry level price fool you, the Rolex 116000 Oyster Perpetual is Rolex watchmaking at it's best.

Launched in 1931, the Oyster Perpetual line has deep roots. The "Oyster" refers to the world’s first water- and dust-proof wristwatch, launched by Rolex in 1926. The second half of the name is a nod to the automatic (self-winding) movement Rolex invented in 1931, powered by the perpetual motion of the wrist.

Rolex has since introduced 39mm Oyster Ps, but the 36mm pictured here remains our favorite.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is from 2017 and comes with all that you see including inner green box, outer beige box, warranty card (dated July 2017) manuals, tags, and bezel guard. Watch is a one owner piece in excellent condition. Case has normal wear from everyday use, around 87%. Bracelet has some normal wear from everyday use, mostly around the deployment buckle, around 87%.

WHY THIS WATCH

A very interesting Tiffany & Co watch. At first glance it appears the watch doesn't have a crown on the case. However, this watch is a "Reverso", and allows you to unhinge the case from the base, revealing 2 crowns, 1 for the GMT and 1 for the local time. 

This watch has a very interesting case shape and diameter. This is the closest to a UniSex watch you can get.

What can we say about a Speedmaster that hasn't already been said. This particular reference was introduced in 1996, and is pretty close in terms of design to the original watch worn on the moon.
