Breguet Grand Complication Ref. 1160 Pocket Watch: Return Of A Legend In Spirit And Actuality
1783 France - Louis Abraham Breguet is contacted for the commission of the world's most elegant and complicated timepiece to be handed to Queen Marie-Antoinette. A task commissioned by Count Axel de Ferson, an officer in the Queen's high guard, and a suitor to the queen. Price and time meant nothing, "make the most spectacular watch the world has ever seen;" the noted queen's affection for jewelry and rare items was to be outstanded. At least that was the idea. In 1793, ten years after work had begun on the Marie Antoinette Breguet pocket watch, the French Revolution took its grasp on French royalty, and Queen Marie Antoinette was beheaded at the guillotine for treason.Work, however, did not cease on the watch. It was not until 1827 that the watch was finally completed. The result of 34 years of efforts imbuing the pocket watch with every known complication at the time. The movement was an automatic (self-winding) mechanical (obviously) movement with a 48 hour power reserve. Complicati

Illinois doodling................
I am generally a Hamilton man by interest but, I have pieces from most all of the high grade American manufacturers in my modest collection. To this point I have only really been missing an Illinois. But, price and scarcity have prolonged my search. I have long admired Rick and Greg's collections and passion for, and dedication to all things Illinois. About six or eight weeks ago, as some of you might remember from my posts, I spent part of the day in Springfield, IL at the Farrell and Ann Gay, Illinois Watch Museum. After the visit, it just reinforced in my mind, at some point, I really needed to add a nice example of the "home state" manufacturing done by the Illinois Watch Company to my stable.Since then, I have been diligent in looking online and anywhere I might happen to visit that might have an Illinois wristwatch for sale. But, most of those places are inhabited by usual suspects who know what they have or, are looking for a premium. So, the going has continued to be slo

New Hamilton Sci Fi Watch
Code Breaker by Hamilton sends time on its travels August 28, 2008 The stunning new Code Breaker watch would be at home on the frame of any sophisticated science fiction movie. Just as plots of this genre love to send the viewer on time travels to the past and future, this watch takes the concept of time keeping into a totally new era. Its chunky titanium case creates a distinctive time capsule of its own, while other edgy design features launch the imagination into diversified realms of bank safes, bulldozers and spaceships. The special effects Code Breaker virtually gained iconic status before it left the drawing board. Its squared case can play a wide range of roles depending on the model – brushed titanium, black PVD and yellow or rose gold PVD are all shades of tomorrow’s rainbow. It comes in two size and movement versions – the larger of which contains an auto chronograph movement. Many of the watches have a rubber strap formed like a bulldozer track, ready to t

5204p (black dial) vs 5370p
Hey allI am having tough time to pick 5204p or 5370p for few months. Every single day I pick the other one. Price is not the issue between those 2 for me. Here are my pros and cons for each of them. 5204p- it has a perpetuel calendar complication that I do not have in my collection. But in the same time I do not really like manuel winding mechanism in perpetual also I prefer apperture display which only 5208 has- it matches better with matt black strip compared to 5370p - on my wrist it feels a little bit small- it is just like 35k more expensive than 5370p and you have perpetual5370p- with its case, size, email dial and breguet numbers it looks great and I think it looks better than 5204p- I feel like it has a better future value- For my wrist size is great- however I have great watches by getting this one my collection will still lack of perpetualThis is how it is for me and looking to hear your comments...Thanksggencerr on instagram
