A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 for Sincere Singapore
Singapore loves watches. There is a healthy and robust collecting sphere in the East that I hope to visit in the near future. In the mean time, the well-heeled may express their enthusiasm for that sphere in a different way. Watchmakers also love Singapore. In 2003, Lange chose to commemorate their appreciation for the retailer…

A Reasonable, Late, Spider Dial 5513 Rolex Submariner
I think I have a real problem; I’ve started to like all the little nuances that exist in Rolex collecting. I enjoy spotting a rail, floating Tiffany Cosmograph, underline, or exclamation point dial. I know it’s sick. Today I’m writing to feature a lovely example of the late 5513 with white gold surrounds that sports…

A Scientist’s Chrono: Wittnauer 242T Matte Dial
If you have ever wanted a more unique Speedmaster, a less-common Daytona, or a dial drenched in yellow tritium, heaven has smiled upon you. Wittnauer is not a name you know unless you’ve spent some real time in vintage. Later absorbed by Bulova and Longines, they used to make some beautiful chronographs. Although not confirmed,…

Rolex 5512 PCG Milsub
If a watch could speak, some of them would have lived rather mundane lives. This one would have stories to tell. The 5512 with pointed crown guards is a very rare milsub variant. Produced in two runs between 1960 and 1961, the total run is an estimated thirty examples. All were supplied to the British…

Royal Blue E855 Jaeger-Lecoultre Memovox
The Memovox is an alarm watch with an attraction that runs deep. If know enough about watchmaking to know that Jaeger-Lecoultre are known as the watchmaker’s watchmaker within Switzerland (meaning many Swiss brands quietly utilize JLC’s engineering skill in order to aid their own efforts), you probably are already infatuated with the charm of this…

Heuer 3646 Second Execution Autavia
The contraction of Automobile and Aviation, Heuer’s Autavia has never looked better. The Autavia is the Daytona for people who actually do motorsport. Red Bull is coming back to dominance in F1 and in celebration of Mercedes’ reign ending, I felt it appropriate to post up a watch of their motorsport partner, Heuer. Heuer has…

1 of 50 ‘Ultraman’ 145.012-67 Omega Speedmaster
With the massive increase of watch-afflicted addicts in the last decade, it is rarer and rarer for eBay to throw up obscure, extremely attractive wristwatches. Private collectors, retailers, and auction houses are all keeping a hawk’s eye. That is why I was so surprised to stumble across this Monday morning—a (possible) original Ultraman. For those…

A Beat, ‘Bart Simpson’ 5513 Rolex Submariner
I like completely fucked watches. As the collector mantra goes ‘condition is everything’. Yet, I think there’s something so honestly charming about a watch which has been worn without regard and the patina which ensues. Additionally, I think it comforts me subconsciously. A watch with abusive wear across all of its components decreases the probability…

‘Everose’ 6241 Rolex Daytona in 14K YG
Now of course, this isn’t actually Rolex Everose alloy. Everose is Rolex’s propietary pinkish rose gold alloy, first introduced in 2005. The 6241 shown today is a late 60s icon. This acrylic bezeled, pump pusher icon is rare in any guise. However, this example is both a precious metal and an attractive standard dial variant….

King Seiko ‘Special Dial’ First in Steel
Grand Seiko’s First (the 3180) is lore among Japanese horology. Perhaps slightly lesser known, King Seiko also had their debut aimed against Swiss haute horology. The King Seiko First was available in variety of metals and many dial variations. The variant I present today is probably the most attractive to today’s market. In steel and…
