SIHH 2010 Preview: Lange 1 Daymatic
For 2010, A. Lange & S?hne introduces the Lange 1 Daymatic with a completely new 426-part self-winding movement. This is the first automatic member of the Lange 1 family. The Daymatic dial mirrors the Lange 1 and adds a retrograde day-of-the-week indication. For those who wear their watch on the left wrist, this layout moves the time indication to the right so it is seen first as the sleeve is drawn back. The Lange 1 Daymatic will be available in yellow and pink gold, and in platinum. The case is 39.5mm in diameter, about 1mm larger than the Lange 1. The dial is solid silver, and an English version will be available using MTWTFSS rather than the German MDMDFSS. The Daymatic is powered by calibre L021.1, developed from the ground up for this timepiece. The central winding rotor extends to the edge of the 31.6mm movement. The rotor is solid German silver embossed with the ¡°A. Lange & S?hne¡± signature. The rotor’s outer rim has an added platinum mass to increase winding effi

Bulova Accutron Watch Ad Pitch Opens MAD MEN Season 7
Season 7 (the final season) of the television show MAD MEN debuted tonight with the reading of a pitch for the Accutron wrist watch. It was only a matter of time before the subject of watch advertising came up in the series and there is perhaps no better example than the original Bulova Accutron. As the original electronic tuning fork watch, it offered a unique upgrade over mechanical watches but existed in a pre-quartz movement age. The pitch, as described in a monologue in the opening scene of season 7 episode 1 titled "Time Zones," is perhaps one of the best watch advertisements of all time.It was in the year 1960 that Bulova unveiled the Accutron range of watches to the public. The most famous model was the Spaceview, which was actually an accidental design never intended for sale. We discussed the Accutron Spaceview watches originally here back in 2008, early in the history of watches-dealer. Turning fork watches were among the first electronic timepieces and used a vibrating tuni

Bring a Loupe: A Grail Patek, And Many Beautiful Watches From Lange, Jaeger-LeCoultre And IWC
For this week's Bring A Loupe expect a very eclectic selection. You will discover a grail chronograph from Patek, and an iconic Rolex GMT. We've also found many beautiful blue dials, from a rare Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox to a sparkling Lange Saxonia. And completing the round-up, we have a couple of unusual and very interesting watches, including a Tudor Advisor, and the Heuer Solunar. This is your Bring a Loupe for August 7, 2015. A Dream Patek Chronograph, The Reference 1518 1 OF 12 This Patek 1518 is undoubtedly my favorite of the week, the more so because I got the chance to put on my wrist. With this one something strange happened: I really did not want to take it offever! The proportions are on point: the small and thick case underlines the layering of the dial with its magnificent moonphase disc. Granted, the dial has some aging marks, but nothing crazy for a proud 70-year-old watch. And the applied Arabic numerals are actually a big highlight of this

What About Walthams ?????
It seems to me that I don't read much about Waltham wristwatches very much around here, or anywhere for that matter .....but for some reason, I am under the impression that it was quite a good brand of watches in the heyday of American watches ........Does anyone here collect Walthams or stumble across some interesting ones now and then ......what about the movements they used ? good ones ? Was it an innovative company ? How are they thought of as far as quality goes ? ........I would post a photo or two of a couple of mine, however photobucket is working on their site and my photos are unavailable for now ......
