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

Don't let the futuristic design fool you, Zenith's Defy lineup actually started all the way back in 1969, when Zenith introduced a lineup of chunky, rugged watches, with futuristic designs. The Defy line of the 70's was the high-tech option of the time.

The Defy line is characterized by hard corners and angles, and this Defy Extreme Chronograph is no exception. Take a look at the pictures of the side of the case and you'll get a huge does of B2 bomber design. The case runs at 45mm in diameter and 15.5mm thick. And yet...it fits! This is due to the short lugs and full titanium case. On the rubber strap, this is the perfect summer watch. The tinted sapphire crystal gives you a view of the skeletonized Zenith Cal. 9004.

Let's get to the meat of this watch, which is the stunning and innovative El-Primero Calibre 9004, which shows elapsed time up to 1/100th of a second. The central chronograph hand moves around the dial lightening fast, and is really fun to watch. Zenith achieved this by adding a second gear train that vibrates at 360,000 vph. 

Using this watch, you notice it's very interesting functionally. The movement actually has two separate power reserves, one for the time (50 Hours) and one for the chronograph (50 min). These two power reserves are wound separately. Counterclockwise for the hours/minutes and clockwise for the chronograph. The chronograph power reserve is displayed at 12. Since the chronograph runs for 50 minutes after winding, there is no hours elapsed sub-counter. 

Finally let's talk value. This watch retails for $18,000. Compare this to other 100th of second chronographs like the Mont Blanc Timewalker (Retail $67,000), FP Journe (Retail $45,000), or the Tag Mikrograph (Retail $50,000). You're really getting a lot for the money here, not just movement wise, but also, the titanium bracelet, velcro strap, and rubber straps are a joy to use and behold, especially with Zenith's quick change strap system. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS Watch is Brand New and comes with the Full set of box, papers, and warranty card. This watch was purchased in 2021 and is registered with Zenith, 3 YEAR WARRANTY.  Watch comes with the Rubber Strap, Titanium Bracelet, and Velcro Strap. Watch is 45mm by 15mm.

WHY THIS WATCH One of Rolex’s most notable partnerships is with Wimbledon, the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world. Rolex has timed its tennis matches for over 40 years now. The special dial on this Datejust is meant to symbolize this  partnership. The Datejust Wimbeldon gives the traditional Datejust a twist with beautiful green romans and a Slate Grey Dial. This ones the 36mm model which hits the sweet spot for those of us with smaller wrists. Topped with an 18k Gold Bezel, which adds an additional sparkle, and matches perfectly with the jubilee bracelet. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS Watch is 36mm. Watch was purchased in August of 2021 and is in excellent condition with only minor wear from Normal use. Case is around 90% with only minor wear. See pictures.

WHY THIS WATCH

The Sinn 156 was the child of Helmut Sinn, the founder of Sinn watch company. His vision was to design a pilot's chronograph similar to the legendary Heuer Bund ref. 1550SG, Leonidas Chronograph, and Zenith A. Careilli. In terms of the movement he chose the Lemania 5100 chronograph movement, a touch as nails alternative to the Valjoux 7750, with a very useful central minutes chronograph complication. This version is the 2nd generation, likely from the late 80's early 90's. This piece is the most desirable in our opinion, as it retains some beautiful Tritium lume points, and comes with the now rare NSA roller bracelet. The deployment on this bracelet rolls out to with changes to wrist size, a kind of automatic micro-adjust. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is 2nd gen from late 80's early 90's. Original tritium dial is showing gorgeous lume points, which have aged to a dark custard. Case is in vintage condition with wear consistent with age. Lemania 5100 movement has been oiled and clean, and is running strong with everything resetting to zero. NSA roller band has enough links for a 6.5 inch wrist. No box or papers.

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

Founded in 1853, Tissot of LeLocle is actually a company that has deep roots in Swiss watchmaking. The Seastar first showed up in the 1954 Tissot Catalog. The watch was advertised as a water-resistant model, something that was not yet a mainstay in watchmaking. While Rolex and Blancpain were coming out with bigger and thicker watches with rotating bezels, Tissot decided to keep it simple. This watch is so simple an elegant, and yet there are some cool details here, like the sector dial and interesting bracelet. The watch is 35mm, and wears more like 36mm watch. The crystal has a beautiful curve to it, and showcases a very nicely aged dial. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is 35mm and comes on the original Tissot bracelet. 783-1 movement makes this watch likely from the mid-late 1960s. The watch is in amazing shape for a watch for a watch this age, with some wear on the sides of the cases. The watch is running and setting correctly. Please note, we don't guarantee accuracy on vintage watches, and recommend a full service. Original Tissot bracelet shows only minimal stretch. No box or papers.

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

Today's Rolex GMT-Master is one of the most popular models from the brand. With the GMT-Master II 126710BLRO on jubilee bracelet seeing a waiting list many years long, older models such as the 1657 have become very popular. 

The 1675 is the 2nd Generation GMT replacing the reference 6542. The 1675 introduced two key changes to the GMT model. First, the fragile Bakelite Bezel of the 6542 was replaced with an Aluminum insert. Second, Crown Guards were added to the case. These 2 changes made the 1675 the first GMT that could really be worn daily.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is 2.1m serial number, making it 1969. Case is in overall excellent condition with a lot of meat left on the lugs, see side profile pics. The matte dial and handset are showing light creamy lume points. The pepsi bezel displays a beautiful contrast, with fade on the blue side and less so on the red side, a testament to the different blends of paints used at the time. Rolex contracted out it's bracelet making to the USA in the sixties, so this watch comes on an Authentic Vintage Rolex U.S.A jubilee bracelet with 580 end links.

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. While it measures 34mm edge to edge, since it's not a circle it fits more like a 36-37mm watch, making it perfect for most wrists. The watch comes on it's original Tiffany strap, buckle and Tiffany "Coffin" box. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This is a one owner watch that was worn very sparingly. The case is in excellent condition with only minor wear, around 90%. The original tiffany strap is also in excellent condition around 85-90%.
