Hublot Big Bang Depeche Mode Watch
80s loving Europeans (and well, me too) love Depeche Mode musical entertainment and?Hublot certainly does. Back in 2010, the Swiss brand worked with Depeche Mode to create a limited edition of 12 Big Bang watches each with unique Depeche Mode albums covers (debuted here). Those were sold off for charity. Now three years later in 2013, Hublot once again dances slow with Depeche Mode with a new 250 piece limited edition Big Bang Depeche Mode.Sales of the watches will benefit probably the most PR friendly non-profit charity next to those that save cats and dogs - Charity: Water - that helps bring drinking water to people in the developing world. The watch is all black in a 44mm wide ceramic case and has a series of clos du Paris style pyramids on the bezel, hour markers, and strap. Very Dior (also LVMH by the way), and reminds me of the pyramids that Karl Lagerfeld likes on his new watches. These are certainly interesting Hublot watches and will probably appeal to all the black leather pa

Newt Gingrich: Patek owner?
Just saw him announcing an exploratory website for the 2012 presidential race. Who cares what he was saying, in WIS tradition I was focused on his wrist, which looked like he was wearing a calatrava.Anyone else catch this?Cheers!

15202 boutique only 2018
Hi I always get slightly apprehensive posting up what an AD tells me, as sometimes, a barrage of rumor mongerer seems to follow after some postersBut in good faith... Recently an ad advised that the 15202, though rarely, and after long waits could be sourced. But From 2018 onwards they are boutique acquired only! (Not sure there is a boutique in UK).I was fairly sure this was the case already - hence the rarity of the watch. But the AD said he sold one last year! Sooooo can anyone elaborate or confirm the situation!Its new news.... The AD says it was recently communicated to Them by AP and to advise, no more waiting lists on the watch, that span beyond this years allocation

Ref 2499
just in case you didn't catch this hodinkee article, i thought i'd post it here. pretty interesting how a few details can be the difference between $314,000 and $2,750,760 for the same reference.Yesterday in Geneva, Christie's watch department held its spring sale. It made over $32 million dollars, with four inidividual lots bringing in over $2 million each. The Breguet Resonance pocket watch that we showed you previously went for an amazing $4.68m, while the enamel Patek world timer that we showed you here went for over $2.9. But, one watch we didn't show you, a Patek Philippe 2499 in pink gold is the focus of this post, because it seems so simple, and yet it sold for over $2.7million. So, what made this 2499 so special when compared to, say, your average, run of the mill 2499 like this, also in yesterday's sale, that made only $314,000? The devil is in the details, my friends.What made this particular 2499 so valuable is a perfect storm of rare traits. First, is a 'first serie
