Historical Perspectives: A Look At What Hermes Means To Watch Lovers & Why The Apple Watch Hermes Edition Makes Total Sense
Two months ago, Apple followed up the announcement of the Apple Watch with a special edition model in partnership with no less than Hermès. Hermès is, of course, the still-to-this-day family run hyper-luxury lifestyle brand by which all others are measured. It is quite simply one of the great brand stories of the 20th century and beyond, and a rare success story of those who never cut corners being rewarded by the consumer. Further, Hermès is actually an important brand to a watch collector – having partnered with several great Swiss manufactures over the years as a distributor, retailer, co-designer, and more. Even more, several Hermès items, though technically unrelated to horology, have become part of the watch collecting dialog. Today, we'll explore some of the more important contributions of Hermès to horology, and examine where the Apple Watch Hermès fits in, if at all. 1 OF 23 Hermes As A Retailer And Value Driver

Omega Speedmaster Mk II
I tried this new model on a few days ago. I currently have a Speedy Pro so I was very keen to try this one. Well, I could buy this particular one for about $ 4,300What I thought was nice:Everything about the dial, it is pefect for me.Bracelet is brushed and looks really great.The quality and finish is excellent.What I do not like:Thickness, its diameter to thickness ratio is not ideal and looks too fat.The date adjuster on the left side is not a deal breaker but why is it required on a watch like this?The styling of case, but I guess it is supposed to look like this. The lack of lugs needs a bit of getting used to.How to make it right:Make a titanium version that is 2mm thinner

5711 clasp ambivalence
I'm not up for a patek bashing so please don't think I'm a hater. I love my 5711. But ....I remember feeling the same way as I did when I got my first (pre ceramic) rolex submariner. Effectively slightly disappointed with the clasp. Compared to the new 114060 for example the older 14060 seems to be far less sturdy and perhaps fragile or insubstantial. Yet I do know many like its roots, its no bling form, and - i know its functionality is unquestionable...When I play with my 5711, I'm just left feeling that the clasp is a little awkward to undo... It reminds me of the tool aspect of rolex evolution - which I hadn't expected from a patek - as you never hear them reffered to in that way... I must say - The arrangement on the 40th anniversary AP 15202 just seems more pleasing.Hopefully I'll grow used to it, I have only had it a few weeks...Does anyone feel this way? Or can anyone help me appreciate the patek clasp experience more?Good day all....
