About Me

As a high schooler in South Africa, Thabo dreamt of owning a Rolex one day. After university, he was able to do just that, and this Datejust ref. 1601 has been his everyday watch ever since. He appreciates its Richard Mille Replik uhren lightness, robustness, and accuracy.Hodinkee has teamed up with Huckberry and their 3rd Annual Grail Gift Giveaway to give away one of the most intrepid sports watches of all time -- a 36mm Rolex Explorer 124270. Click here for more details. To celebrate this partnership, we're republishing this story from September 2021.Each reference had silver, black, blue, and salmon dials; while these dial variations weren't necessarily matched to a metal, the combos were certainly meant to look good together; for example, salmon or blue dials are only found with white metals.Styling is by nature very personal, as is your choice of watch. My hope is that this series will serve as a helpful resource for those who may be new to watches and want to figure out what to wear outside of the usual Rolex Day-Date and Cartier Tank spectrum, as well as for longtime watch lovers who'd like to find new and unexpected ways to wear their classics.As for the mysterious third-party guarantor, who seems to have been behind "paddle 1013," we may have to wait until the many watches won by this bidder return to auction again (if ever) to more fully understand what happened to them during and after the Passion for Time sale.
You won't be surprised to hear that all this exalted craftsmanship doesn't come cheap – the watch, in its elaborately faceted, 26.5mm x 39.2mm x 10.3mm platinum case, is priced at €315,000. But there is, in addition to Lange's usual meticulous watchmaking, a lot of handwerk in this Handwerkskunst. The Cabaret Tourbillon Handwerkskunst is a limited edition (natch) of 30 pieces worldwide.A great vintage watch, or any watch at all, is one where you linger after putting it on your wrist in the morning. It's not the same as a T-shirt that you can throw on and immediately move to the next thing; a watch that inspires you earns a extra glance. It might be the recessed lume plots of a Rolex ref. 1016 Explorer one morning. And the next it could be the slight seam between the dial and the graduated tension ring of a manually-wound Heuer Carrera.Not only does Wardin's letter, published over 35 years ago (and subsequently republished in the second edition of David S. Landes' seminal tome Revolution In Time), sound remarkably familiar to the opinions of today's watch Replica Richard Mille rm 67 enthusiasts (right down to the date window), it also introduced an excellent new word into the watch-enthusiast lexicon: quartzitude.I hope you love the video. From myself and all of Hodinkee, I'd like to offer a huge thanks to Hurley, our friends at Porsche, and the fine folks at the Brumos Collection for helping make this video possible. If you're like me, and you love cars and watches and all the ways those two worlds overlap, it's hard to overstate just how much fun it was to chat with Hurley and hear the stories of his racing, his watches, and many of the cars featured at the museum.
While Keegan's father's primary watch was a Rolex, he eventually traded it for a TAG Heuer 2000 Diver, the watch that you see here. The faded bezel and dial still have traces of their time together fly-fishing in the sun and each time he hears the jingle of the worn bracelet, he's reminded of his father.This Reverso dates to 1944 and has a fausses Richard Mille rm 005 deep blue dial with darkly aged radium for the hour markers and hands. If you flip the watch over there's an awesome Art Deco enamel-filled monogram reading "MJ" that I think makes this watch. I mean, how many cool MJs are there out there? A lot, right? I doubt any of them owned this watch, but for CHF 10,000 - 15,000 you could certainly pretend. More on this watch here.Brand: AlpinaModel: Startimer Pilot HeritageReference Number:  AL-555DGS4H6 (dark grey), AL-555LNS4H6 (light blue), AL-555N4H6 (navy blue), AL-555RGS4H6 (rose gold plated).  Diameter: 42mmCase Material: SteelDial Color: Dark grey, light blue, navy blue, and rose gold platedIndexes: Applied, silverLume: YesWater Resistance: 100 metersStrap/Bracelet: Leather strap with pin buckleAll of the above comes together in what I believe is a very good example of a big and heavy watch that doesn't feel overstated or needlessly bulked up. The bronze feels special, almost extra romantic, especially when matched with the uncommon bracelet. On wrist, especially with fall colors in the air, I think it's a great looking watch with a unique wrist presence.The same can be said for watches. What used to be a platform for design, notably in the 1960s and '70s, has become a predictable "luxury" focused machine, made to please the average consumer with absolutely no desire to step outside of the box. And when they do step outside of said box, I immediately wish they had remained firmly inside of the box because nobody asked for gargantuan, rainbow-inspired tattoo artist collaboration watches. Sigh.Leaving the F.P. Journe appointment, I saw several remarkable watches, reminding you that watch-spotting in Dubai is unlike anywhere else. Crime here is severely punished, so much so that theft is basically non-existent. That means gem-set watches and rare pieces like the ones that follow are wearable here, like nearly nowhere else (except maybe Monaco).
