Thoughts On The Confrerie Horlogere La Clef du Temps Tourbillon Watch
I have been pondering how I should think about this watch for a while. I want to like it, and a big part of me does. Another part of me questions the wisdom of the watch. Is it wearable? Does it makes sense? Would you be considered akin to an alien from outer space for wearing one? The watch is a new piece from the Confrerie Horlogere, a watch making arm of the popular watch movement maker BNB Concept (that is about the declare bankruptcy). The model is the La Clef du Temps Tourbillon, and there will only be 24 of them ever made. Apparently one for each timezone. One of these watches was auctioned off in the Only Watch 2009 watch auction in September for well over $200,000 which was close to its retail price. As a limited edition of just 24 pieces, the watch can justify itself.

Zodiac Watches Brings Back the Super Sea Wolf
Zodiac is among those handful of brands that we get pretty excited about here at worn&wound. Especially with their recent efforts to revive the brand by bringing back classic designs (see the Zodiac Watches Make a Comeback post for more) such as the Astrographic, Sea Dragon and the Sea Wolf. The brand has not been resting in the last year and are bringing back another iconic Zodiac design: the Super Sea Wolf.The Zodiac Super Sea Wolf was originally released in the 1970's as a "big brother" to the original Sea Wolf.

It was also bigger, quite a bit bigger. The design has long been a hit with watch collectors and thankfully Zodiac has resurrected it for a new generation of watch buyers.The new Super Sea Wolf, due out Fall 2015, clearly has the DNA of the original. The case is t

This 20-Minute Video Will Teach You About Watch Collecting & The History Of The Modern Timepiece
Did you know that we, at HODINKEE, have published hundreds of professionally shot, highly produced videos on watches over the span of the last few years? You can see them all on our Youtube page. One video, originally published in June of 2014, the HODINKEE editorial team felt would be a particularly poignant clip to show today, when most Americans are away from work due to Labor Day. This video, Talking Watches with Jean-Claude Biver, not only tells us how he, and other top tier consumers collect (case quality and dial originality are a must!), but also about his early days in the watch industry, which date back to the 1970s. In sum, this 20 minute video is an amazing primer on not only serious watch collecting, but also how the watch industry came to be what it is today. Watch above and for more, you can see the full Talking Watches with Jean-Claude Biver here.
