we have been big fans of fp journe for a long time now, not so much because of their dials, i think most of us in the ts office prefer the simplicity of swiss railway clock, but because of their contribution to the art of watchmaking. check out the great video by hodinkee covering the latest fp grand sonnerie. by kt
some people are obsessed with the intricacies and delicacies of classically made timepieces. it’s true, time and the amazing machines that keep it are something to be admired, but there’s something about this rough and hunky watch that i just love… but i know nothing about it,,, anyone? any info for me so i can stalk it and make it my own. by kl

original dial in white porcelain with roman numerals and original spade and poker hands.
barleycorn pattern on outer lid with original bow and crown.
case measures 49mm in sterling silver signed tiffany & Co. on cuvette and inside back cover.
17 jewel signed manual wind movement with screw down center jewel.
looking at affordability here is a beautiful example of a rare circa 1900 tiffany & company hunter case pocket watch. the manual movement in this watch is not credited to any great maker but the perfect porcelain dial buried in this rusted case is rather awesome. current value at approx $1,500. by dd

it’s true, you can never be too thin after all
there are a few ralph lauren items i do like and this is one. launched in 2009 it was perhaps bad timing, but it was years in the making and sometimes you have to forge ahead. this platinum watch with guilloche bezel is one of the series in ralph laurens recent mechanical watch collection with the piaget manufacture movements made for lauren. super thin with dimensions of 20.8mm diameter and the slim 2.10mm height. power reserve approx 40 hours. swiss respected piaget manual wind (lovely). cost for the platinum version shown is 32,000 USD.
this piece which is not considered the highlight of the collection, like the stirrup case, is still my personal favorite. yes, perhaps its over priced for a brand that is not yet considered a serious player in the small world of watch making, 32k can buy you a vintage patek or a beautiful used vacheron… one may even feel guilty to admit spending that much on a RL watch, but price aside, this is a piece i would have loved to add to my collection for its simplicity and beauty. by dd
dunhills key watch has been recreated from an original design from 1937 by alfred dunhill. if you are always losing your key, we bet you hardly ever lose your watch, now here is your chance to loose them both at the same time. brilliant. no one can tell if the key will fit your lock, but you can always try. the key watch is crafted from sterling silver and brass. by dd
