Hublot MDM Automatic Wristwatch

Mint and hardly used condition Hublot MDM automatic wristwatch. Hublot are a hugely successful Swiss watch company manufacturing high quality watches. They have just bought BNB, who were suppliers of high end tourbillion movement to companies such as Hublot. The acquisition included 30 watchmakers, mechanics and technicians and all of the machinery. Also with many high profile sponsorship deals such as with Manchester United, with Sir Alex Ferguson and many of the players wearing Hublot watches, they are now well positioned to become one of Switzerland’s, and the world’s best know watch makers. 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. The dial is matte silver with a date at the 3 position. The hands and dial markings are blued steel giving it a lovely fresh appeal. Hublot branding and Hublot logo at the 12 position. The strap is a fine silicone rubber strap with Hublot signed butterfly deployant clasp. It comes complete with all boxes, papers and peripherals, the papers are stamped by the authorised dealer but undated. UK Retail price is £1,400 (US $2,240) Dimensions are: width 37 mm excluding the crown, 39 mm including the crown, lug to lug 42 mm, thickness 8 mm Ref. NWW 654. sold

Rado Original Automatic

Mint condition, old and barely used Rado Original automatic wristwatch.

Rado's headquarters are situated in Lengnau near Biel, Switzerland. The company has a workforce of about 300 in Switzerland and abroad. The company celebrated its 90th birthday in 2007. At the same time, Rado looked back on fifty years of watch production and 40 successful years with the legendary DiaStar collection. In 1957, after 40 years as a supplier of watch movements, the firm launched its first collection under the brand name Rado. And only five years later, with the legendary oval DiaStar – the world's first scratchproof watch – the foundation stone was laid for an exceptional success story. For Rado, the development of a new watch means coming to terms with Time, in the quest for an outstanding creation that captivates with its materials and its form. Thus, the form of the watches does not simply mirror their functionality but embodies a philosophy that manifests itself in the design of the watch. The attainment of such sophisticated objectives requires designers who understand the scratchproof Rado materials and development engineers who can work together with the designers. Rado watches truly combines exquisite form with function, as the movement accuracy embedded within the watch internally complements its durable exterior. The Original Automatic is based on one of their early 1970’s designs. It is a handsome and sporty looking watch, with a pleasant looking a dial.

Virtually brand new, and mint condition, hardly worn U-Boat Thousands of Feet hand wound wristwatch. UK retial price is £2,200 (US $3,520). 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. The Thousands Of Feet Series is a sensation of limitless time, distances above and beneath the Ocean, this is bold, aggressive and oversized. These timepieces embodied force and style and revealed the unique personality of the man behind the revival.

It is an almighty 50 mm across and 15 mm thick. It is a huge chunk of metal. It is a functional and practical looking watch. As the name suggests, Thousands of Feet, it has got a submariner influence about it, and has a dial designed in a depth guage look, with bold numerals, hands and dial markings. At the same time it also has a clock look to it as well, especially in the case design. The dial is black with off yellow dial markings giving the appearance of reading the clock in low level lighting such as on board a submarine, yet it is highly legible at the same time. It has got a spinning indicator at the 3 position, not quite a sub second hand, but just an indicator to let you know that the clock is ticking,. 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. Presumably this is a feature on a submarine instrument as it seems to have no real function on the watch other than to make it look good. The case is screwed from the top. The movement is a Swiss made Unitas 6497. The crown is set on the left side of the watch so it does not dig into the wrist. It has got a glass display case back, it is water resistant to 100 metres.

Tutima Military Chronograph in Titanium

Used but excellent condition Tutima Military chronograph in Titanium. Currentl UK retail price for the watch is £2,285 (US $3,716). The Tutima Military Chronograph is one of the watches that are used by the present day 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. It uses the tried and tested Lemania 5100 automatic movement. The 5100 has passed countless endurance tests with flying colours.

Sinn Flieger 756 UTC DIAPAL

Used but mint condition, originally purchased from us in May 2009 making it 7 months old when it came into stock. The Sinn 756 UTC DIAPAL is chronograph with a completely lubricant free escapement, which is a world first. Every wristwatch requires a service every few years as the escapement wheels and pallets need lubricating to avoid friction. Sinn used the technological innovations of the space program to develop a lubrication free escapement called DIAPAL, which is a reference to the friction reducing technique of replacing the ruby pallet stones with diamonds, hence the name DIAmond PALlets. The diamond pallets are then fitted to the traditional movements, in this case the Valjoux 7750, so you have the tried and tested Valjoux 7750, which is the world standard for automatic chronographs, which has been modified with space age technology to make it friction free. This is a technology which has been years in the making at the Sinn labs. In addition to the movement The cases are treated with “Tegiment” process. This is the process where the ice-hardened outer layer of special anti-corrosive stainless steel is hardened to 1,200 Vickers which is four times harder than nickeliferous high grade stainless steel used in other high quality stainless steel watches. This steel process is rarely found in watches, but is more often found in surgical instruments, and aerospace and aviation. Has a sapphire crystal, screw down crown and is water resistant to 20 ATM. The dial is anthracite in colour with black sub dials and is an attractive and striking looking watch. The UTC hand is a dual time indicator and is independently set of the main hands and points to a second time zone. If you do not want a second time zone showing, the hand can be set to move in synchronization with the hour hand and it fits behind it perfectly so it will never be seen.

Chronoswiss Regulateur Automatic Wristwatch

Mint and barely used looking condition Chronoswiss Regulateur, model reference CH 1223. The Regulator clock was originated in the 18^th century by Louis Berthould. He devised the regulator dial. His idea was that the minute hand should be very dominant, with hours and seconds rotating within separate dials integrated into the watch face. For the very first time this arrangement made the minute hand stand out at all times. At the time it was a groundbreaking invention, but one which also took account of an emerging trend: people were becoming increasingly interested in measuring the smallest unites of time. They sensed a growing urge to keep a precise, uniform track of time wherever they happened to be. This assisted from industry, trade, communications, science, navigation as well as everyday schedules such as keeping to correct timetables for transportation. The new dial was incorporated in pendulum clocks called regulators. The regulator clocks became very precise and were used for determining official standards until the 1960’s when they were replaced by millisecond accurate atomic clocks. Today the precision and aesthetics of a mechanical watch hold an enduring fascination for us. The ageless principle of its working mechanism was first re-created in wristwatch format by Chronoswiss. The Regulator is the Chronoswiss flagship product and the watch that has made the Chronoswiss brand. Chronoswiss was founded in 1982 by Gert Lang. In 1982, the majority of watches being made were mass produced quartz controlled watches, so Chronoswiss with finely crafted mechanical movements were written off by the so called experts as the claimed that such watches would not survive the current trend for mass produced quartz watches. However the critics forgot about the consumer, and that the consumer wished, who actually liked the watches and found that if they were going to invest a lot of money in a timepiece, it should be one that is hand crafted rather than machine produced. In 1988 Chronoswiss became the first watchmaker to transfer the regulator dial used for large precision timepiece clocks to the wristwatch, and in doing so, created a signature watch that has come to represent the ingenuity and craftsmanship of Chronoswiss, of lasting value. Models such as Pacific, Hora, Kairos and Orea followed, all of which being mechanical gems. This is the Regulator and is in excellent condition. The case is stainless steel and has a fluted bezel, slender lugs, sapphire crystal to the front and back, 3 ATM water resistant. The dial and hands are classical in design, the dial is off white ivory colour enamel style with blued hands, and subsidiary seconds at the 6 position. Comes on replacement black leather strap with all boxes and papers. The movement is a Chronoswiss 29 jewel finely engraved and embellished caliber C.122, which is based on an Enicar calibre 165 automatic. It has a 38 hour power reserve and skeletonised gold plated winding rotor. Hand crafted with Cotes de Geneve stripes. Magnificent hand crafted watch and one to treasure.
