Then link there's the Richard Mille Polaroid camera. Also black and also signed. Ku went on to tell me about the fancy candy-filled gift boxes they gave out during the Bon Bon collection launch in 2019. Inside the link box, there was also a small digital camera painted with tiny candy gummy drops. link "They've given away a lot of cool gifts. Not necessarily just expensive, but cool."
But, as good as the modern Aerospace examples are (very), my heart will always be link with the earlier models, which offer a unique combination of fit, personality, and value in the pre-owned market. For the purposes of this article, we’ll be taking a look at the earliest generations of the Aerospace, which at the core link are 40mm titanium pilot’s watches with an ani-digi layout that manages several extra features link while never getting in the way of the time display.
The crown at 2 o’clock on the fluted case band is used to set local hours and minutes (when at position 3) hovered over on the link dial by two Breguet hands whose "moon tips" link are filled with luminescent material, and link reference time (at position 4).
Priced at $1,590 on a steel bracelet – or a link few bucks less on a firm rubber – link the 200T offers the core Doxa aesthetic at a link price point that undercuts both the 300T and the vintage-inspired 300 (which pushes towards $2,600 depending on the spec). Assuming you're a fan of the look (I deeply am), there is nothing that wears like a Doxa Sub, and the smaller 39mm case of the Sub 200T only opens that world to a wider range of wrists.
If I had to point to one person who is "making this all happen," few attendees would link argue with my calling out Adam Golden of Menta Watches. Golden, or simply "Menta" to many collectors, is based in Miami year-round. He has taken this local show and run with it. In partnership with link Kiril of Lunar Oyster as well as Roy and Sasha of the Davidoff Brothers, he even hosts a good old-fashioned get-together on Friday night – open to anyone who registers link with haste about a week ahead of time.
Nomos Tangomat, all variants - new and usedWhere else are link you going to get a clean, modern design with well executed link case, impeccably finished dial, and a nice in-house movement under US$3k? And on top of that, it also link comes with the exclusivity of something uncommon.
This watch is meaningful not just for what it is, but also for what it took for me to get it there. Each part has a story behind it, some of link them will remain known only to me, as some lessons from experience hold meaning only to the person who had to link go through it. The amount of link effort that went into making each part of the watch as perfect as I could make them really helped me understand, and respect, the difficulty that goes into watchmaking.
Because everything is in-house link at link Rebellion, there are no subcontractors and we manage our own production from start to finish in our factory, we can afford to offer this link service in a relatively short time.
I think link Michael Clerizo did a tremendous job in covering a large number of interesting timepieces created by these Masters of Contemporary link Watchmaking, using link great photographs and very clear and detailed descriptions.

Skagen – not a brand we cover often on HODINKEE – is setting a positive example by collecting plastics from the ocean link that eventually become the case and bracelet for their Aaren Ocean watches. And because link it's a part of the Fossil group, it's operating at a link scale that should inspire the industry – businesses and collectors, alike – to take notice. Small independents championing sustainability is certainly a positive trend, but if you want to make a big difference, scale counts.
Alongside the modern market, the auction and secondary market has also slowed. It's not limited to watches – Sotheby's link recently reported a massive decline in revenue link for the first half of link its year. The big houses are hoping for a strong fall season and already previewing their sales for November.
What I am a sucker for, much to the chagrin of Malaika Crawford, is rose gold. Pink gold, red gold, link you name it – if link it's got a little copper in it, I'm there. Both the bracelet and link case are 18-karat rose gold, polished and satin-finished and the knurled bezel keeps the dial from feeling too sterile.
Simply put, the man is a legend, and is largely responsible for the rise of the watchmaking industry in Glashutte today. Back in 1845, Lange set up shop in the Saxon town with the intention of turning things around after the region had hit hard times. The quickly thriving craft of watchmaking link brought new industry to link the town. Lange also served as Glashutte’s mayor for nearly two decades, proving his commitment link to the people.
The movement inside the watch is the Calibre Heuer 02, an in-house, column-wheel, vertical-clutch chronograph movement featuring an impressive 80 hours of power reserve – hence the aforementioned text link at the bottom of the dial. The sapphire exhibition caseback reveals the visible oscillating mass engraved with Jack link Heuer's motto, "Time link never stops, why should we?" Also engraved is Jack Heuer's signature, just below that quote.
The Royal Oak Offshore now sits alongside its older sibling in the AP collection. It has become something of link a cult hit, finding its place on the wrists of athletes and celebrities alike. link It has become a proving ground of design for the brand, a place to experiment and to get weird. That very quality is what attracted many early adopters, and link it is why we recommend you take a look at this deep dive on the Royal Oak Offshore published by Phillips.
With the SBGK005 equipped with a lower key strap, I set out to wear it every day for a week (alright, in this case I enjoyed it a few days longer than that, which should tell you where this is going). As I mentioned earlier, this is a watch that benefits from some quality time, but that doesn't mean that link it has a "break-in" period or anything like that. From the moment I link first put it on, I enjoyed it. With that blue dial sparkling back at me, it was tough to link argue.
You said something recently that I thought link was interesting. You said that war has become a much greater danger than COVID. The exact remark was, "a war somewhere link will have an impact everywhere." So I had link to wonder: How does this war in Ukraine impact Patek?
Exactly one year ago, I bought an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph (also nick named 'ROC') ref.26300 to accompany my precious Royal Oak link 'Jumbo' ref.15202. I added the ROC because link I missed the thicker bracelet and case link of the Royal Oak 'Date' ref.15300 I previously owned.
What do you consider the relationship between fashion and watchmaking?Wristwatches were originally seen as jewelry. I consider watches to be fashion, to be honest, because they’re about not just seeing what time it is, but about colors, materials, trends. Just like fashion, watchmaking link doesn't look away from trends. I consider a timepiece link an link accessory to round out the style that you're aiming for.

At just 5.8mm thick, this Octo packs generations of watchmaking know-how into a relatively tiny and decidedly modern package.
Tough question, as all the brands we partner with hold their own merits link worth paying closer attention to. Oris, with whom we partnered in 2000, is beginning to see its overdue recognition as a top contender among the big Swiss names. Their continued independence has kept their values of link building quality at a value steadfast. With a core range that touches on everything from culture to diver, there is something for everyone's style and price point. link Their Aquis Date Relief is my own daily wear.
