HM4 RT
HM4 RT
|
 HM4 RT is a limited edition of 18 pieces in red gold, titanium and sapphire crystal .
A traditional wristwatch has a relatively straightforward role: to tell the time. All that is needed is a hand for the hours, another for the minutes and perhaps a power reserve indicator to keep track of running time. Horological Machine No4 Thunderbolt has a hand for the hours, another for the minutes and a power reserve indicator. HM4 Thunderbolt tells the time.
HM4 Thunderbolt is not a traditional wristwatch.

Navitimer 806, I love that watch
Navitimer 806, I love that watch

The Navitimer seriously put Breitling on the world map. It’s until today the most famous watches they ever produced and it’s unlikely that it will ever be surpassed.

Piaget holds their horologic banner high
Piaget holds their horologic banner high
|
 By Mads Gjødesen
Most people knows Piaget watches and jewelry, but make no mistake about their horologic abilities.
It is worth to check out the latest addition to the family; the beautiful Skeleton watch in the Altiplano serie.
The clock holds two world records. Thinnest Skeleton automatic movement in the form of cal. 1200S with impressive 2.4 mm, and thinnest skeleton automatic watch with 5.34 mm.
Skeleton watches can easily seem much to decorated with ornate carvings and engravings, but Piaget has managed to keep a nice, minimalist balance, so the clock does not seem to decorated.
The box is in white gold and 38 mm. Price is still unknown. Check out the clock in the following link: Admire the watch here!

Authentic Bond watch under the hammer
Authentic Bond watch under the hammer
|
 By Mads Gjødesen
Previously, James Bond watches have drawn record high prices when they come up for sale at auctions around the world.
Clocks which are used in various James Bond films are unique watches, as most are custom built with various gadgets and used during the actual filming of the movies. This fact makes the hardcore Rolex collectors pay outrageous prices for these watches.
Such a 007 clock now comes under the hammer at Christie's on 14 November. The watch is a Rolex ref. 5513 with a circular saw in the bezel, and was worn by Roger Moore in the movie 'Live and let die'. The watch is rated to 170-340.000 Euro and is available on page 160 in the link below.
There is incidentally a lot of other interesting watches at auction. |
