Details and price of Jaeger LeCoultre Amvox 2 Chronograph DBS
Today, we found not a transponder DBS (one capable of synchronization with the Aston), but rather a chronograph limited edition Amvox 2. Take cues from the transponder (retail price ~ $ 40 000), the chronograph of this monitoring is operated by pressing on the face of the Crystal, thus no pushers projection of the case, and the retail price for this current time of production is less than half that of the transponder. Example of today, sells for about half of the retail price in order to get really much about a rare and innovative of Jaeger LeCoultre chronograph. We love this face, semi-skeletonized watch black red accents and really, it is a watch that reminds us many vintage Heuers of the 1960s and 1970s, as it is purely a timepiece of race and you can tell. This Amvox 2 DBS Limited Edition chronograph is selling for $9450 and more information are available here. And even if we know that this is not the transponder, we thought that us would post a video of this show finally shor

In-Depth: The Watches Of Mad Men (Season Five), Courtesy Of The Man Who Sourced Them
Few television shows have been as loudly or consistently praised for the quality and authenticity of its costumes, sets and props as AMC’s Mad Men. Now in its fifth season, the show continues to go to great efforts to source appropriate accessories to showcase a hyper real version of New York in 1966.This obsession with historically accurate physical culture extends to the wrists of the characters, and for years watch fans have eagerly paused DVDs on partially blurred wristshots of Don Draper and his co-workers. The ability to accurately identify a watch from 50 paces (or a blurred screengrab) is a highly prized skill among watch fans. James Enloe, founder of Watches In Movies (the premier watches on screen website), attributes the desire for fans to identify watches as an extension of watchnerds' passion, and an important way to show off their otherwise esoteric knowledge. Of Mad Men, Enloe suggests that the there’s a double appeal for fans; “It makes for good wa

Example of an early 70's Benrus...
Here is a good example of a Benrus watch made during the early 1970’s. Benrus watches during that time were manufactured by other watch companies whom purchased the rights to use the Benrus brand name on a watch production run. Most of these companies were Asian watch manufacturers.This example was manufacture by Hamazawa LTD. a Japanese based company. The movement is made in Japan and the case was made in Hamazawa’s Hong Kong factory. Many watch companies at this time used Hamazawa movements; Seiko used them in some of their cheaper watch offerings.Benrus history the late 1960’s:In 1967 the company was sold to Remington Razors. During this era it was difficult for American watch manufactures to compete in the market place due to the number of cheap Asian movements and inexpensive watches like Timex. Under the new ownership the company was stripped and its assets and they were sold off. "Benrus" was used primarily for its strong brand name recognition.In the late 19

Mother of Pearl
Not all MOP is created equal.One company that will not be named (Invicta), touts it's MOP dials as Grade A, which depending on the rating system used by the manufacturer is excellent.There are two systems: The A to D system and the AAA to A system, which would make the A the other guy's D. I don't know which one that namesless company (Invicta) uses.The nameless company (Invicta) does create dials that snap and pop with plenty of orient. However, the MOP dials on my luxury watches, including Clerc, are far more refined and have more Orient. Truth even the MOP on my Jacques Lemans is a bit more dramatic than any offering I had from The Company That Shall Remain Nameless.This isn't a bash, merely a consumer's observation. Always remember knowledge is power when you are purchasing. Do your homework so you are not swayed by a claim that sounds great, is not a mis-representation but is sort of a slight of hand.I want to make it clear, I don't know what scale is being used by that Yellow Box

Rolex Dealer closing down.
One of Houston's longest standing independent Rolex AD's is closing its doors for good, presumably after Christmas. Donoho's Jewellers in The Woodlands has been around since before I bought my first in 1984. I hadn't been there in years and being in the area Saturday dropped by to see the Final Days banners hanging. The store looked pretty picked over and all of the Rolex watches left, maybe 30, were in one case. Lots of Cellini, PM stuff, and diamond dialed DJ's. There was one YG Daytona-C on leather strap, no other sport models. I didn't ask but other watch brands were marked 15-20% off. They also carry Breitling, Tudor, Corum, Bell and Ross, and TAG. Don't know the story but I'm guessing the family just wanted to retire.This leaves only one Mom and Pop, one chain store, and a couple of local mini-chains including the one that runs the Boutique. I kind of liked it when it at least seemed like there was competition.
