Franck Muller Casablanca Sahara

Franck Muller Casablanca Sahara 6850 automatic wristwatch. Franck Muller was born in 1958. He spent his childhood in La Chaux-de-Fonds with his Italian mother and Swiss-born father. When 15, he enrolled in a watch making school. In the early 1980s, he graduated from the Swiss school of watch making. Afterwards he began repairing top quality pocket watches. Close to an independent watchmaker by the name of Svend Andersen, Franck Muller became responsible for handling watches from the collection of Patek Philippe. Most of the clientele were private individuals and museums. While he was working with complicated timepieces, he became passionate about their mechanisms and began to think of building his own workshop. The brand of watches carries the slogan "Master of Complications". Franck Muller's watches are worn by various celebrities, among them Demi Moore, Robin Williams, Elton John, 50 Cent, and José Mourinho. Franck Muller timepieces are famous for their fusion of "modern" style, mostly inspired by American watches from the thirties, like the Elgin tonneau, and traditional Swiss watch manufacturing. The president of the company is Frank Muller himself. He claims to design the mechanism of every watch by himself. Soon after, in 1984, Franck Muller designed his own tourbillon wristwatch. In the 1980s, few watchmakers were capable of creating such complicated timepieces, among them Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. The private clients of Franck Muller continued to come for new timepieces, and thus his business started growing. The House of Franck Muller opened in 1991, and his ultra complicated timepieces instantly became famous in Europe and the United States. Today, his factory, which is also the headquarters of Franck Muller, produces a limited number of watches for private clientele. Franck Muller's collections include a variety of designs and price ranges. The Casablanca is a design harking back to a bygone era in a typical Art deco fashion with its curved tonneau shaped case, with sleekly formed sapphire crystal integrating seamlessly into the fascia of the case, the case is polished stainless steel with a steel back secured by screws. The dial is white with so called exploding numerals, as in Typical Art Deco fashion, the numeral colour and hand colour are burned orange in colour, which is more of a terracotta colour. The hands like the rest of the watch are typical Art Deco lozenge style. Comes on original terracotta strap with original steel pin buckle. It comes in the original leather suitcase style box, in the style of an African safari trunk. The terracotta colours, strap and suitcase box are reflective of the model name Sahara.

Jacob & Co World Time

Mint condition Jacob & Co World Time. This watch was purchased in the USA 3 years ago. They have a retail price of £25,000 which is US $40,000. Some information on Jacob & Co, not my words, but taken from the Jacob & Coweb site: "....For over a quarter of a century, Jacob & Co has created revolutionary timepieces and jewelry for men and women. As the world’s premier house for the fusion of impeccable quality, classic technique, and unmatched creativity, Jacob & Co is the first choice for discerning individuals whose demand for superb craftsmanship is matched with a taste for visionary artistry in both jewelry and fine watchmaking.

The originality and vision achieved by Jacob & Co has, in the years since its inception, become an international phenomenon. With timepieces and jewelry that are respected worldwide for their enduring value and lasting appeal, Jacob and Co continues to be the principal destination for the world’s most discriminating cognoscenti....." Taken with a pinch of salt no doubt and some flowery wording indeed, but believe what you may, this is a large and imposing looking watch with a lot of diamonds on it. It has 5 quartz modules for the separate time zones. The bezel is diamond studded on 18 karat gold and the map of the world is also made out of diamonds, albeit quite small diamonds, so it looks like a textured or three dimensional map. There are the main hands telling the local time and four smaller time zone hands placed in North America, Asia, South America and Africa. Presumably Australasia, Far East etc, is not deemed important enough to get its own timezone, but I guess with limited workspace on the dial some nations have to cop for it. Great Britain is lucky enough to get a diamond of its own and so does Iceland, which appears to have more icy look than the other diamonds. The Black Sea is also coloured black, but Greenland is a yellowy colour. The Jacob & Co watches are made popular as they are worn by illuminati such as David Beckham, Mike Tyson, Elton John and many other style icons of our generation. In seriousness though, its an expensive watch with a massive retail price and advertised here at a fraction of the retail price, more regarded as a fun watch. Comes in the original box with paperwork, original black strap – has a tear on the end of it but that is hidden by the buckle, and spare yellow strap. Original retail is £25,000. Width is 47 mm excluding crown and 49 mm including crowns, lug to lug is 47 mm, Thickness is 12 mm. Ref. NWW 846. Price is £5,995 or US $9,750

Tutima Military Chronograph in Stainless Steel

Used but excellent to mint condition Tutima Military Chronograph in stainless steel. The Tutima Military Chronograph is one of the watches that has previously been used by German and Nato military forces. It was adopted by the armed forces for issue to pilots, officers and special forces. The reasons were not only for the reliability, durability and robustness, but also the unique design of the control buttons for the chronograph functions. Instead of the usual protruding buttons, they used large spaced push buttons integrated into the case. This feature facilitated operation, particularly when wearing gloves, as well as reducing protruding parts that could interfere or cause injury to the wearer. The buttons however did not affect the 10 ATM water resistance of the watch. Please note, this item is used and not tested for this water resistance. It uses the tried and tested Lemania 5100 automatic movement. The 5100 has passed countless endurance tests with flying colours. Its robustness, reliability and precision under even the toughest of conditions is partly due to the refinement and evolution of it as well as the number of moving parts being kept to a bare minimum without impairing the functions. The watch is designed as an instrument and provides instant legibility as it has a sharply contrasting dial. The sixty minute elapsed timer is one of the large centre hands, with the red t-bar tip, which provides very good legibility for elapsed timing without having to look in the smaller sub dials.

The subsidiary seconds is at the 9 position and day and date at the 3 position. The crystal is sapphire with anti reflective coating.

Hublot MDM Automatic Wristwatch

Other partnership and sponsorship deals include Morgan cars, Ayrton Senna Foundation, Yacht Club Courchevel, Alinghi Yacht, Polo Park Zurich, Polo Club Saint-Tropez, Ecole De Ski De Courchevel and Dario Cologna. Hublot was born out of a desire to transcend contemporary watch design and produce a unique watch line. Creator Carlo Crocco acquired strong notions of beauty growing up in a family of watchmakers, and by 1977 had designed his first watch. In 1980 he established his own company, MDM Genève, hoping to create a watch whose elegant and sporty design would be appreciated the world over. Crocco was determined to develop a watch that not only had pure lines and a respect for the materials used, but one that transcended changing fashions and could be worn in both elegant and informal situations. His first rule was simplicity: no superfluous design elements. The look was modelled after a porthole (Hublot, in fact, is French for porthole). Colleagues and competitors were dubious when Carlo Crocco presented the Hublot watch at Basel Fair in 1980, but were soon won over as it went on to become the "Sensation" of the year. The Hublot became instantly recognizable, its swift acceptance surpassing all expectations. Members of several royal families spontaneously showed their enthusiasm for the Hublot, and it soon became the choice of the world's leading personalities. Carlo Crocco had taken a bold risk, and in a few short years Hublot watches were elevated into the exclusive circle of prestige Swiss watch making houses. The watch is a simple yet stylish and slim line watch made from stainless steel. The case design is true to the original concept of Hublot and is shaped like a ship’s porthole. It has a Swiss made automatic movement. It has got a scratch resistant sapphire crystal and screw down crown and screw on case back with six screws holding it down. It is water resistant to 5 ATM.

U-Boat Watches - Back in 1942 the "Officine Fontana" was poised to produce a professional watch for the distinguished officers of its navy’s U-Boats. Though the project was ultimately scrapped, the distinctive original drawings, color samples and innovative materials were lovingly preserved for more than 60 years. In 2000, Italo Fontana, a cousin of the watchmaker’s late founder, made a long held company dream come true with the launch of today’s inspired U-Boat brand. U-Boat watches, just like their original namesake, are bold, aggressive and oversized. These timepieces embodied force and style and revealed the unique personality of the man behind the revival, Italo Fontana.

There is also a red dot above this which is sandwich effect as the dot is on a layer beneath an aperture in the dial.

Universal Genève have long since been one of Switzerland’s eminent watchmakers. They were founded in 1894 in Le Locle in the Jura mountains. After they achieved rapid growth and success, they relocated to Geneva in 1934 and set out to conquer the world with a production of quality timepieces, which is the result of research, competence and sheer passion. They have been responsible for many innovations in watch making and still operate today with as much success as they did when they first set out over a hundred years ago. The Senna watch is a symbol of refinement both in style and the use of modern materials. The “41” represents the essence of the Formula One World Champion himself: perfection, precision and an international outlook. Ayrton Senna won 41 Grand Prix races, hence the name.

The Senna watch gives a whole new dimension to the notion of measuring time and appeals to the discerning customer who identify themselves with quality watch making. The automatic chronograph is contemporary and stylish, and is the embodiment of flare and creativity as found in the high speed world motor racing.
