Throwback Thursday: Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Alarm
Few vintage watches possess such a flair as the (Jaeger-)LeCoultre Deep Sea Alarm. Although over sixty years old, it combines an exciting complication with a captivating design, housed in a case with a very contemporary diameter of 39mm. It is a true rarity, not only because diving watches with an alarm function are seldomly seen, but also because Jaeger-LeCoultre made this model for only three years, between 1959 and 1962. It was launched as Jaeger-LeCoultre in Europe, while this American version only carried the name of LeCoultre.
Throwback Thursday: Heuer Single Button Chronograph Ref.2403
(TAG) Heuer's heritage in the field of chronographs not only runs deep but also goes back for more than a century. Already around 1880, the firm was making this complication, and this rare single button Ref.2403 from about 1930 shows that they were also among the first to introduce it in wristwatches. What makes this watch even more remarkable is the refinement with which it is made.
Throwback Thursday: Patek Philippe Nautilus Reference 3800/1
With the Tiffany Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus fetching $6.5 million at auction in December of last year, it is safe to say that this iconic model is hotter than ever. This passion also causes an even broader interest in the history of the Nautilus. This includes many exquisite and often rare models like this Reference 3800/1, which Patek Philippe made just before the turn of the Millenium in 1999.
Throwback Thursday: Omega Speedmaster Ref.2915 ‘Broad Arrow’
The Speedmaster is, without a doubt, one of the most important and recognizable watches in the history of Omega. However, when this particular Ref.2915 was made in 1958, its true claim to fame was still in the future. That didn't make the Speedmaster any less innovative when it was launched. It was the very first chronograph that had the tachymeter scale engraved on the bezel rather than printed on the dial. This increased the legibility of all the functions and was one of the reasons many professionals embraced it. This would later even include NASA, where one of the successors of this model would make history as the first watch worn on the moon.
The Extraordinairy Tourbillons Of Louis Vuitton
In the world of Louis Vuitton, watches hold a special place. The brand is known for its innovative designs, rooted in its rich heritage. Their creativity seems to have no bounds, but it is not on looks alone on which they have built their success. What powers their watches is equally essential, and Louis Vuitton has a profound preference for complicated movements, especially the tourbillon, as the following three watches prove.
Throwback Thursday: Patek Philippe Reference 3974
Patek Philippe's history is a constant stream of highlights, particularly when looking at their more complicated pieces. The brand invented the annual calendar, but not before making its mark on one of the most coveted complications available, the perpetual calendar. The reference 3974 holds a special place in this, as it was the very first perpetual calendar with a minute repeater, powered by an automatic movement.
Unconventional Tourbillons That Set The Pace For The Future
A tourbillon is often considered one of the most traditional complications. One thing that comes into play with this is its respectable age as it was developed by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1785 and patented in 1801. However, it took until the revival of watchmaking after the quartz crisis to be used extensively in wristwatches. Now there hardly isn't a brand that doesn't have one in its collection. Standing out can then be a challenge, but at the same time, it also offers the opportunity to innovate and pave the way for the future of this highly regarded complication.
Four Chronographs That Earned their Place In History
One of the most popular complications is the chronograph. This can be explained because the complication adds extra dynamic elements to the watch. Measuring the passing of time requires an extra seconds hand, subdials to show the minutes and hours, and pushers to operate it all. Aviation, car racing, and the exploration of space are just three areas in which (mechanical) chronographs made their mark, adding to their appeal. While there are a great many to choose from, the following four have earned their place in history:
