Jorge Merino with the time zone wrote a message in the forum of Girrard-Perregaux about their last watch, exclusively for the crew of BMW. I wonder when the first team member puts his watch .
Although I like convey of BMW and have the respect for Larry Ellison (President of Oracle), I rather do not see their logos on a watch like this.
According to Jorge, the watch has the following characteristics:
The case, out of stainless steel, measurement 40mm X 13mm. It has a sapphire crystal with the coating of AR and the back is fixed by 6 screws. It is resistant of water to 300 meters. The movement is the automatic gauge 033RO of general practitioner with 26 jewels and a reservation of 46 hours power.
Andrew Babanin wrote a great test on gauge 3135 of Rolex to the time zone. It begins its review with the following, simple shorts but however with the introduction so much caracteristic,
Rolex is a manufacture with old traditions and hundred years of history. Rolex is always considered a watch of luxury, giving the insurance to its owner.
I would like to review a submariner models completely common of Rolex (ref. 16610). The case and the bracelet are made of stainless steel. It is an automatic stop watch certified by COSC with the second power stations and the indicator of date. There is special Triplock screwed in bottom of the crown with the protection of the increased ground water.
And what follows is all beyond short and of simple. a superb review on the movement of gauge 3135 in comprehensible text with some fabulous explanatory photographs. I wonder whether this review will become as well known as that done by Walt Odets.
The movement of gauge 3135 the rotor being crossed for the best seen.
I guess that I will use my watch 3135 tomorrow (Sea-Inhabitant)!
As promised (in Martijn, see the comments of the post of general practitioner below), I announce by this some images of a watch which I bought a few months ago, of a similar Dutch collector. It is a stop watch of Titus Geneva of the Forties (ca.1946-1948) with a movement of handwound of Landeron 48. It is a watch of 38mm, which was completely large during these days, in a red case of gold 18ct. The case is very light and has a boxing ring of metal `inside, to make with the thin 18kt the red gold lock up a little solid. I was known as that these watches were completely to populair for ex-soldiers of the USA of WWII to bring to the house, because they was one of some allowed gold watches so that they import. I am not sure, but I think that there was a certain kind of restrictions for the importation of the gold articles. Gauge 48 (31mm) of Landeron is produced between 1937 and 1970, made tic TAC with 18000 beats per hour, have 17 jewels and a reservation of 44 hours power. Another mark of this era which produced the completely similar watches was Swiss Chronographe. This mark was brought again to the life just recently.
At all events, I bought this watch because I was eager to test a red gold watch (stop watch). I always estimate that I am a young person of (and fade) to use gold watches little too much, but this one is really recreation to be carried with a shirt or a costume nice. Those standard of watches can be bought for relatively little money, I think I paid between euro 250 and 300 for this example (news belt including Dispensary Italy Bros).
During my research of on stop watches of the years 40/d the Fifties, I found this site French interesting about the stop watches. Take care to visit if you are interested by these beauties of vintage as well.
I took three photographs to satisfy the hope of Martijn I which I could capture his beauty of modest of in these images. It is the really pleasant IRL, an good image was difficult to take the black dial of aged of with the impression of gold with all these reflexions in the plastic crystal.
The watch has a small inequality in one of the hooks. As I wrote in top, the material is completely thin and this inequality was probably caused while being knocked in something or it was released on one of the hooks. The crown in is doubled or plates it and a little too yellowish. Perhaps I will put above a red crown of gold 18ct in the future, if I can find a good market. The short acceptable watch, but I would not carry it during days in a line, because the deviation will become too much annoying.
Exposure of Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) for the centenary of the theory of relativity: new doctrines of time according to Einstein.
The exposure is the most complete event and expensive devoted to Albert Einstein ever staged. It functions of June 16, 2005 to April 17, 2006 to the museum of Historisches in the capital of Switzerlands of Bern. The named person of the century by Time Magazine, Albert Einstein lived in Bern of 1902 to 1909 most scientifically the profitable period of her life. Its watch of pocket of Longines is shown for the first time at this exposure as eloquent recall that with its theory of Einstein relativity changed for always our perception of the nature of time.
Then work for the institute of Cantonal Technikum and with the watches of Rado, Ryser Kentfield moved in the United States to begin its Swiss store of watches in 1990. It tested its own brand with the exposure of JCK in Las Vegas, but as it says in an interview with Keith W. Strandberg (Europastar) it is very difficult because people want a name of mark known. Ryser Kentfield now tries to obtain world retailers, to sell its watches and to obtain a little the attention for its name of mark. It makes and sells 700 watches per year, but provides that it will be some share between 1000 and 2000 pieces in 2007. Its watches start in 1100 USD and employ a movement with automatic reassembly of ETA 2824-2. Its Web site, http://www.ryserwatches.com, basic information of device on its mark, collection in line of watches and a list of retailers. Its watches are available in plating to the pink gold of stainless steel, 10micro or yellow gold with the coating of DEVELOPING COUNTRY. I make dbarasser there an end for Mr. Kentfield. plating with pink gold 10micro and yellow gold with the coating of DEVELOPING COUNTRY. These types of lower completion of materials gives to a mark a bad representative. At all events, all the chance with Ryser Kentfield and its line of the watches!
