Think You Hate Tourbillons? Think Again.
On the wrist, they don't quite wear their nearly 45mm. Perhaps that's the ceramic's influence. They're substantial, don't get me wrong, and starkly legible thanks to the instrument-like display with date and the large luminous hands and markers. These are cool and fun watches that don't sacrifice a bit of their technical bona fides even as they reach for higher style points.This watch sat in the middle of the table between both Aly and AJ's collections. That's because it belongs to Aly's husband – and was a gift from AJ. This Patek from 1922 was supposedly once owned by the steel tycoon Henry Phipps Jr. ( if only he could see his replika Piaget watch being worn on stage now). This is not a watch you come across very often and is one we all pined over on the table for quite some time.Caliber: LV 104 Functions: Hours, minutes, flying tourbillonPower Reserve: 80 hoursWinding: Hand-woundFrequency: 21,600 vphJewels: 17 Additional Details: Poinçon de Genève certified (aka The Geneva Seal)Sapphire has many functional benefits over acrylic crystal: it's harder, scratch-resistant, and durable. On the Mohs hardness scale, it's a 9, just below diamond (10). Sapphire has some drawbacks. It's more reflective and doesn't have the clarity of acrylic; its hardness also makes it more difficult to work with. If it does get a scratch, it can't be easily polished out as with acrylic. But most companies and consumers today seem to think its benefits outweigh any shortcomings.
The case shape really makes this Jaeger-LeCoultre, which comes as a full set, with presentation box and original papers. The E562 reference mentioned on the guarantee from December 1972 does not bring any other search result, except for the very same watch previously offered by another dealer.Using Sellita’s SW 280-1 automatic movement, the Maestro 2239 has hours, minutes, central seconds, a date display at three, and a moon phase at six. Based on the SW 200 and visible through an included display case back, the 280-1 ticks at 4Hz, has hacking seconds, hand-winding, and a power reserve of 38 hours.The main difference between the natural escapement and the Daniels independent double wheel escapement is simple: A natural escapement has four replica Panerai wheels, while the Daniels only has a single escape wheel that requires accelerating at any given moment, Lederer says. "Just like my Central Impulse Chronometer."Lederer's escapement innovation has since proven in many ways, then, to be both an iteration and an improvement on the inventions of Breguet and Daniels.Of course, she wasn't the only high-profile entertainer who brought horological firepower. LeBron James, for instance, watched from a box seat in what appeared to be a frosted Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Below are a few others we spotted.
Slightly mysterious roots aside, the BigEye is 41mm across (50mm lug-to-lug) and 14.45mm thick, including the dome of its sapphire crystal. Almost entirely brushed, save for a polished finish to the sterile bezel area surrounding the crystal, the BigEye is characterized by its asymmetrical dial layout and its oversized chronograph pushers. I suppose the pushers could be a love or hate replika Breitling aspect, but I love a bit of strangeness and I think Francis Bacon would also approve.In addition to brand executives, we have plenty of familiar faces from the vintage world, including influential collector and author John Goldberger, vintage watch expert Davide Parmegiani, senior consultant and Phillips auctioneer Aurel Bacs, and actor and collector Aldis Hodge. Oh, and Alton Brown will be there too – you know, for good measure.It may not have been a standard size in the 1980s when this watch hit the market, but today it is much more common. But despite the modern sizing and the popularity of the brand in general, collectors can still find solid value in APs such as this – a solid 18k yellow-gold chronograph, let alone one of the most historic and in-demand watchmakers to ever exist – for $11,000. An even loosely similar example from Patek Philippe would start at four times the price, or more.
