Carrera Y Carrera Pulso Watch Mixes Luxury & Department Store Fashion

by VCLuxury on Mar.22, 2010, under Rolex

Carrera y Carrera Pulso white gold

Walking through the “fashion watch” section of the department store you see glass cases filled with faux luxury watches. Decent looking watches for people who want something that looks interesting, and is a watch second to a fashion accessory. Here lives legions of quartz movements and fake chromed watches. There is no real gold to speak of and all the jewels are costume in nature only. The watches are usually reasonably priced though, for people (often women) of moderate means who want to spruce up their outfits. Popular pieces include customizable watches that come with a variety of straps or even interchangeable bezels. You know…. a look for “every outfit.” Then you have the high fashion style watches like this Carrera Y Carrera (Madrid, Spain based brand) Pulso watch that borrows from these concepts for the well-to-do.

The Pulso does have the requisite for lady’s fashion quartz movement, but does come in an 18k white or yellow gold case with load of diamonds. Plus it has two bezel options. It comes with both, and one more classic in tone with a polished surface and a view to the inner bezel lined with diamonds. The second choice is a an almost totally dial covering bezel with an attractive floral engraving display. Carrera Y Carrera sees it as a play on classic Venetian carnival mask aesthetics. I will have to take them on their word for that.

The 36mm wide case has more floral engravings on the side (and diamonds) and a interesting baroque style crown with little gold studs on it. The dial of the watch is in mother-of-pearl (gray or white) and the “Y” (and) part of the brand name is used again on the dial a few times as the hour indicator for 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. Fitted to the watch is a alligator or silk strap. The timepieces make for lovely fashion accessories but seem to fail when it comes to standing out alone. They feel more suitable to being enhancements to an outfit that a clear message themselves. Though maybe that is the point, there are simply more luxurious department store fashion watches after all.

At last, the infamous leopard Rolex turns up on JamesList

by VCLuxury on Mar.22, 2010, under Rolex

daytonaleopard1

Here’s a Daytona you keep reading about on forums and so forth, but rarely (unless you’re in certain territories) see on people’s wrists. Now, I wouldn’t outright say that it’s hideous (an opinion more commonly held by Rolex aficionados), but it’s definitely something else… Alright, it’s pretty ugly. There’s no getting around it. But there’s something with the feline replica watch Rolex that just speaks to me on a kitsch level.

Given the fact that I’m just about the palest man alive, to the point of translucency, I highly doubt I could ever get away with wearing it regardless of what my income level might be at in the future. Don’t take that last remark as being racist, it’s just that I feel that if you want to get away with wearing such a monster on your wrist, you can’t look too … ordinary. I was browsing The Sartorialist the other day, and stumbled upon one fellow that probably could get away with it.

Rolex Yacht-Master II: A Watch for Sea Explorers

by VCLuxury on Feb.02, 2010, under Rolex

Rolex Yacht-Master II

Some people need to know what the time is more than others. Among them are divers, racing drivers, pilots, astronauts and, of course, yachtsmen. Rolex has developed a wristwatch specifically for the latter – the Replica Rolex Yacht-Master II.
The first Rolex Yacht-Master was introduced in 1993 and strongly resembled the Rolex Submariner, except that it cost twice as much and was less water-resistant. Two years ago, the watchmaking company released the enhanced version of the timepiece – the Rolex Yacht-Master II. The watch has acquired a new useful feature for yacht races – a 10 minute countdown timer which can be set rotating the bezel and using the crown.
The movement of the watch has also undergone some changes. It still beats 28,800 times per hour, but uses the PARACHROM hairspring instead of an ordinary one. Thanks to this innovation, the Rolex Yacht-Master II is about ten times more insensitive to magnetic fields and shock-resistant.
The case of the timepiece has become larger –it now measures 43mm in diameter, which is considered rather large for Rolex. The Triplock crown on the right side of the case protects the movement from ingress of moisture – quite a necessary feature for yacht owners.
The bezel of the watch is made from very hard ceramic composite that is practically corrosion and scratch resistant. The colour of the material will not fade if exposed to sunlight.
The watch costs about $30.000 – apparently, those in Rolex responsible for pricing have decided that people who can afford a yacht can also purchase the Rolex Yacht-Master II.

Rolex Air King watch model appeared during the World War II when neutral Switzerlad stayed out of the war. At that time Rolex was the favorite watch brand of long-distance fliers. Rolex became the watch of choice for Battle of Britain fighter pilots.

Finally only the Air-King model survived and was equipped with an automatic movements. The watch is water resistant up to the depth of 100 meters.

Rolex is perhaps the only brand that is always associated with the same things: luxury and prestige. Rolex is fantastically popular, like no other watch brand it is known to absolutely everyone. It is worth noting that people who became rich long ago do not wear Rolex. Rolex is the choice of those who strive for success. They dream exactly of Rolex watches.

What is the reason for so great popularity? Of course, first of all this is the highest quality of watches that are released by the brand. Secondly, this is the marketing strategy that always was fantastically successful. Rolex watches underwent a great number of tests and experience, the watches were used in various expeditions where they had to withstand numbers of dives as well as extreme temperatures. This way Rolex wanted to prove to the whole world that its watches are the best. It managed to do this.

Sotheby’s NY to hold sale of Important Watches

by VCLuxury on Dec.24, 2009, under Rolex


On October 17, 2008 Sotheby’s New York will hold a sale of Important Watches Including Property from the Time Museum comprising over 200 lots estimated to bring $4.5/6.2 million. The sale will feature a group of important Rolex and modern Breguet watches as well as an offering of Patek Philippe watches and nine pieces from the renowned Time Museum collection. The sale will be on exhibition at Sotheby’s New York galleries beginning Sunday, October 12.

Sotheby’s is pleased to once again offer property from the The Time Museum, the finest collection of timefinding and time-keeping devices in the world assembled by Seth Atwood, a businessman from Rockford, Illinois, over a period of thirty years. This offering follows four previous sales held by Sotheby’s in 1999 and 2004 of masterpieces from the Time Museum, which set numerous world records including the $11 million paid for the Patek Philippe ‘Henry Graves Supercomplication,’ a record that still stands today.

Highlights from the Time Museum offering include a Richard Good Triple Axis Tourbillon Marine Chronometer (est. $10/15,000), a technical marvel commissioned by Seth Atwood, intended for use onboard a ship, as well as an Open-Faced Quarter Repeating Automaton Magician’s Watch (est. $30/40,000).

Another highlight from the Time Museum offering is the Waltham Watch Co. Perpetual Calendar Five-Minute Repeating Split Second Chronograph Watch (est. $50/70,000, pictured at right), which is the most complicated American watch known. Waltham Watch Company was the only American watch manufactory to produce a repeating watch, and the present lot is the only model to combine the functions of perpetual calendar, five-minute repeater, split second chronograph and moon phases.

Leading the Replica Rolex Watch offerings is the Comex Submariner, Rolex, Ref. 16610 (est. $80/120,000, pictured page 1). In the 1960s, Comex (Compagnie Maritime d’Expertise), a pioneer in deep-sea off-shore diving, asked Rolex to create a watch that could withstand the high pressures of deep-water dives, which proved to be the genesis of a longstanding relationship between the two companies. The present lot – which has never been worn – was one of the last Comex models made, and is a rare appearance on the auction market as many are still with their original owners.

Also included in the Replica Rolex Watch offerings is a ‘Monobloc’ Chronograph, Rolex, Ref. 4048 with a rare black dial (est. $55/75,000, pictured at left). The watch comes from a dynamic period of change in Rolex aesthetics and is a rarity for the auction market as most examples appear with a silvered dial. This piece comes with its original bill of sale and Rolex certificate and was purchased by an American serviceman in 1946 who was stationed in Munich and bought the watch in the Swiss town of Lugano while on furlough.

The sale will also feature a strong selection of works by Breguet such as the Sympathique No. 2 (est. $200/300,000). The Sympathique is an exceedingly rare master timepiece conceived of by Breguet in the early 19th century to demonstrate the quality and ability of his craft and cement his reputation as the foremost innovative horologist of his time. The present example is one of the first of a limited edition of twenty that were produced and comprises a carriage clock which winds a watch that features a power reserve and tourbillon.

Another highlight by Breguet is the Perpetual Calendar Minute Repeating Tourbillon Wristwatch, which was made in 1997 for the 250th anniversary of Abraham Louis Breguet’s birth and is one of only three examples ever made, all cased in platinum (est. $300/350,000, pictured at right). This model has never before been offered at auction and can be regarded as the firm’s most important modern wristwatch creation.

Also featured in this sale is an excellent Automatic Perpetual Calendar Wristwatch, Patek Philippe, Ref. 3448J (est. $100/150,000, pictured at left) as well as A Pink Gold Chronograph Wristwatch, Patek Philippe, Ref. 533R , retailed by Walser Wald, one of the finest jewelry and watch stores of Buenos Aires (est. $60/80,000). Another highlight by Patek Philippe is a rare example in white gold of a Perpetual Calendar Chronograph Wristwatch with Register and Moon Phases, Ref. 3970EG (est. $120/180,000).
