We've  learned how to use lasers to count these oscillations, and it's redefined what we know by using these so-called "optical frequencies" which allow us to measure with much more precision. The surprise of the titanium experience goes further than just weight. The brand has made a lot of effort to get the texture and finishing on the case to be both varied and comfortable. So here we have it, the Submariner Desk Clock. It's been a few days since I've seen it, and it still feels absolutely surreal to me. If I were first introduced to this clock outside a Rolex boutique, there's no chance I would have ever said it was real. But, sitting front and center in the London boutique, it very much was. Oh, I haven't mentioned the price—it's $10,270. falso panerai orologi The pair's newly available KB2 clock, for Kontwaz Bauhaus 2, is a pendulum floor clock in the tradition of the Besançon region. The six-foot-tall, key-wound KB2 is easily recognizable as a Silberstein creation. What's harder to see is Silberstein's hand in redesigning Lebru's in-house movement. Not only has Silberstein customized the decoration of the escapement and wheels, he's also tweaked the winding system with a new grooved barrel for improved winding. The bracelet is fantastic and does a nice job counterbalancing the watch and keeping it from wobbling around or feeling top heavy, and I'm not sure what kind of visual black magic is at work here, but I'd probably have guessed it was 41 or 42mm across if I hadn't seen the spec sheet before popping it on. Alongside some of the truly wild stuff that Hublot has announced for LVMH Watch Week, the Classic Fusion Original may feel downright plain, but as a production model with sizes for a wide variety of wrists, it might just be the kind of Hublot to win over some new fans for the brand, especially any self-proclaimed '80's guys.

My favorite original vs. re-edition from this week is the 1960s Heuer Carrera 'Dato 45' Ref. 3147N. As you may know, this watch is the original upon which we modeled our TAG Heuer Carrera 'Dato' Limited Edition for HODINKEE, which we unveiled in 2021. Cyrille Vigneron: Yes. I think what we see here in this week is that, when everything is at once physical and people can meet each other, there is a different atmosphere and vibration. So there is nothing that can replace that. Then the question would be, having a world show compared to regional ones. There was, last year, the Watches and Wonders in Shanghai, with a lot of attraction, as well. The pilots were charged with a nearly impossible task – they had to ward off an almost never-ending stream of enemy bombers and fighters. For every one Luftwaffe plane shot down, five more would take its place. But they did it. The Spitfire became a symbol which embodied the unwavering spirit of Britain, and of the men who flew them. The back of the Celestia is largely taken up with a very large star map, which makes one rotation per sidereal day. The back cover opened, exposing the winding mechanisms for the mainsprings and the inscribed table of the Equation Of Time.

The new, thinner hand-wound and automatic Spring Drive movements, as well as the new Hi-Beat caliber, aim to continue the evolution of Grand Seiko into a major player in luxury and fine watchmaking. This isn't happening in a vacuum. The NFL is increasingly global. The league now plays at least five regular-season games annually in Europe—in London and Germany—up from a single London matchup in 2007, when the International Series began. With the NFL set to stage its first game in Spain in 2025, the crossover between Swiss watchmaking and American football no longer feels surprising—it feels inevitable.
