Rolex
Explorer II - Orange Hand
|
Excellent condition and highly collectible Rolex
Explorer II Orange hand model reference 1655.
It
comes with the original guarantee/chronometer certificate, plus Rolex
service receipts and other purchase receipts. Just
returned from a service with my watchmaker. These watches are
highly collectible due to their rarity and are continually rising in
value. The model name is an Explorer II but it is often referred to as
the Orange Hand Explorer due to obvious reasons. In addition to being
called the Orange hand Explorer II is also commonly referred to as the
Steve McQueen model, as he was allegedly seen wearing this model on a
regular basis. However popular research suggests that Steve McQueen
favoured the Rolex Submariner 5512 chronometer model, this was in
private and on film sets. He was also seen wearing the Heuer Monaco on
film sets. The Explorer II watches are in high demand and represent a
good investment as well as being a lovely and desirable watch that can
be worn every day. This model was made for a short period only in the
1970's and early 1980’s and is therefore the reason why they continue
to rise in value. They are not easy to find and are due to the
short production period, they are a scarce watch. The orange hand
provides a 24 hour function and the hand rotates the dial every 24
hours, and the 24 hour time is reference is against the fixed 24 hour
outer bezel. The orange hand can be used for a GMT function. The dial is
in excellent condition with a little fading to the orange hand,
particularly to the sharp end of the orange hand, there is s little
fading to the tritium luminosity. It has a screw down crown with
stop seconds function for accurate time setting, date function at 3
position, with magnified cyclops lens, acrylic plexi crystal, and above
all, it is a Swiss Certified Chronometer. The case and bracelet are in
good condition with marks here and there from regular use, and some
light marks to the fixed bezel. It was originally
purchased in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1980, and was purchased in
1984 by the previous owner, so it has had two owners from new. It
was serviced in 1996 by Rolex South Africa and comes with a receipt to
indicate this fact. During this service, it was fitted with a new
crystal , crown and crown tube. It was serviced again by Rolex
Johannesburg in 2004 where it underwent a complete factory overhaul. It
comes with the Rolex service receipt showing this which is has been
plastic laminated. It also comes with a letter from the second owner
explaining that it was purchased by him second hand in 1984. The second
owner had it engraved with

to the fact that it is a beautiful looking watch, which is durable and
practical, and can be worn on any occasion. This is whether traveling in
outer space or worn with a tuxedo, or worn at a football match. The
Speedmaster passed all of NASA’s stringent testing when they were
selecting a watch for their space missions in the 1960’s. The other
would be watches crumbled half way through testing. The other watches
included some of the big name brands still around today. The Speedmaster
however passed all of the tests and continued to operate as normal. This
was with no special modifications as all of the testing candidates were
purchased from a jewelers store in Texas. The watch had to pass all of
the extreme testing for the good reason that during space travel, it
would be subjected to the environments that were simulated during the
tests. This being outer space, the most extreme and hostile environment
known to man. Some of the conditions it required endurance was to
survive massive acceleration, compression, extreme and instantaneous
temperature and humidity changes, amongst more. Dimensions are Width

Used but mint condition,
Anonimo Militaire Chrono Automatico.
Functional, stylish and distinctive looking watch, bearing
military style good looks. Anonimo
was founded in Florence, Italy in 1997 by Florentine designer and
businessman, Federico Massacesi. His
vision was to create a company specialising in the production of unique
and high quality Italian watches and remaining true to Florentine watch
making form and tradition. That
vision has catapulted Anonimo to become the most important Italian
company making high quality, unique and stylish wristwatches.
This was success was perpetuated by Panerai, an existing
Florentine company, being purchased by the Richemont Group.
After this acquisition, Panerai uprooted and left Florence
leaving an elite and established team of veteran watchmakers wishing to
continue their watch making tradition in Florence.
This wealth of expertise and skills of former Panerai staff
joined forces with Federico to form the cornerstone on which Anonimo’s
success has been built. This
one is the Militaire Chrono Automatico.
The movement is an automatic winding 47 jewel caliber ETA base
2892 A2 with colimassoné finish and with Dubois Depraz 2035 chronograph
module, which is modified to Anonimo specifications by their in house
technicians in order to position the stem at the 6 position and the push
buttons on the left side of the case.

position. The chronograph
has a twelve hour elapsed time at the 12 position, thirty minute elapsed
time at the 3 position and the sixty second elapsed time is the central
sweep chronograph hand. It

within the date aperture. The
watch case is sand blasted and satin finished in the highest grade AISI
316 stainless steel which is laser cut to give highly angular and sharp
edges. Scratch resistant
sapphire crystal and patented crown locking device which is integrated
into the watch strap and protects the crown.
To adjust the time, this device between the lower lugs pops open
to expose the crown, and locks back into place to lock the crown into
place for water resistance and security.
This allows a water resistance of 12 ATM which is approximately
120 metres. The dial is anti
reflective mate enamel black, concentric military time scale in red and
super luminova luminosity. The
strap is patented original Kodiak process leather strap which allows for
extended immersion in sea and fresh water.

Jaeger-LeCoultre
Reverso Grande Taille – Limited Edition 100 Pieces
|
Mint, brand new and unworn Jaeger-LeCoultre
Reverso Grande Taille hand winding wristwatch. It is a limited edition
of only 100 pieces and this one is number 14 of 100. It celebrates 125
years of the Reverso and sold in conjunction with worldwide retailers,
Wempe. It was originally purchased in 2003, but has not been used as
there is no wear to the strap and it is unmarked. Jaeger LeCoultre are
one of the few elite Swiss watchmakers who manufacture their own
movements in house. They are
a company was established in 1833 in the Vallee de Joux watch making
region of Switzerland. They
are highly regarded for their quality timepieces, technical innovation,
and one of the most stringent and fanatical testing centres in
Switzerland. Jaeger-LeCoultre
have been instrumental in the development of wrist alarms, and they
developed the first automatic wrist alarm 1958. Jaeger-LeCoultre were
also instrumental in developing this complication and it is a function
which is popular and widely used in wristwatches today. This is a
beautifully engineered and crafted wristwatch which is in an Art Deco
style, a design of Jaeger-LeCoultre which has been largely unchanged for
decades. The case is polished stainless steel, which is perfectly
symmetrical, well finished with smoothly integrated angles making a
classical masterpiece in looks, especially with its tiered Art Deco
style case edges, large square pushers and large crown. Being a Reverso,
the face part of the watch slides across and can be reversed to display
the case back. The original ingenious idea being to protect the crystal
if the user was embarking on an activity that could potentially damage
the face of the watch. However the back of this watch is also a crystal
and the movement is displayed when it is reversed. The crystals on both
sides are scratch resistant sapphire crystal and are un blemished. The
dial is white with Roman numerals and blued steel épée hands. There is
a day night indicator at the top centre of the dial, and moon phase
indicator at the lower centre of the dial, with these two complications,
it makes for a fine looking classical masterpieces. This is also very
evident when the watch is reversed and the movement is displayed and is
more of an art form than a piece of precision engineering (though it is
a precision engineered movement of course). The movement is an in house
Swiss made calibre 823, rhodium-plated, fausses cotes decoration, blued
steel screws, 23 jewels, straight line lever escapement, monometallic
balance adjusted to 5 positions, shock resistant. It comes on the
original Jaeger-LeCoultre leather strap with folding clasp. It comes

is number 14 or 100. Please note, the last picture in the sequence is a

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. No papers but guaranteed authentic
and genuine.. It has an automatic calibre 2800 movement. Dimensions are:

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

timepieces and jewelry for men and women. As the world’s premier house

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.

Heuer
Monte Carlo – Rally Timer
|
Mint condition and recently serviced Heuer Monte
Carlo Rally Timer. The Monte Carlo was introduced in 1958 to replace the
Autavia. It was intended as a dashboard mounted timer for timing events
up to 12 hours. Applications for the Monte Carlo were wide ranging, and
apart from the intended use in Rally cars, they also found their way
into military aeroplanes and jets and commercial timing applications
such as this one. The back is stamped with S.T.V which is an
abbreviation for Scottish television. No doubt it was used for timing
live programming. The timers
issued to the Royal air force are evident as they have British military
stamps on the case backs. The Monte Carlo features a 12-hour numerical
counter in a window at the bottom of the dial. Heuer proudly announced
that the new central register (for seconds) and jumping disc for hours
assured the "greatest legibility ever found in a stopwatch".
This one is a two button model. The button at the 12 position is used
for winding the timer, starting and stopping the timer and the button at
the 2 position is used for resetting the hands and hour wheel. The thin
hand shows the seconds, the thick arrow head hand shows the minutes and
up to twelve hours are shown in the window in the lower centre of the
dial. It also has a rotating bezel which is not ratcheted and bi
directional, this is used for a second timing event. The Monte Carlo is
often paired with a Master Time clock on a double back-plate, the Monte
Carlo was one-half of the classic Rally-Master pair. The minute arrow
hand appears to be re-lumed. The crystal is acrylic and the case is
plastic and so is the back plate. The clock easily detaches from the
back plate by a simple twist action. There are holes in the back plate
used for dashboard mounting. The pictures show it attached and detached
from the back plate. The dimensions are 58 mm wide thickness is
32mm with the back plate and 25 mm without the back plate. Ref: HEU 175. Price is £895 or US $1,485

Flieger 856 - Automatic Pilots Watch
|
Sinn Flieger 856 Automatic Wristwatch, this is the new replacement model
the the now discontinued Sinn 656, one of Sinn’s best selling models.
It is very similar in looks but has increased proportions as the older
656 was slightly on the small side. For those who prefer the smaller
dimension, the 556 A is the same size as the older 656. The watch has been modified and upgraded to include a Tegimented case
and copper sulphate water absorbing capsule. The watch case hardened
using Tegiment technology provides extremely effective protection from
scratches on the case surface. To achieve this, we do not apply any
coatings of foreign materials; rather, the surface of the watch case
itself is hardened in a special process. To keep the cases of Sinn
watches in the best possible condition when they are worn, A Tegimented
stainless steel case has a surface hardness of approximately 1200
Vickers. This value corresponds roughly to the hardness of commonly used
zirconium oxide ceramics. By comparison, an unhardened stainless steel
case has a hardness of approximately 220 Vickers. It also has Ar-Dehumidifying
technology which solves a basic problem of mechanical watches: the aging
of oils due to moisture in the air contained inside, or diffusing into,
the watch. The movement is mounted in a nearly anhydrous atmosphere
thanks to the three Ar-Dehumidifying technology elements of drying
capsule, EDR seals and protective gas filling. Aging processes and
fogging of the crystal from sudden cold are prevented, and reliable
functioning and accuracy are ensured. A simple design, with 4
large prime hour numbers, jet black with white markings and hands
gloving maximum visibility and clarity. The design is based on an
aircraft clock. As well as being a lovely practical looking watch,
it is highly functional and is extremely resistant to magnetic
interference, and has a strong well finished crystal and case.
There is a small date window between the 4 and 5 hour markings. It
is small so not to interfere with the numeric symmetry of this
beautifully designed watch. Sandblasted stainless steel case and
bracelet. The watch features a 21 jewel Swiss made ETA 2824-2
automatic working at 28.800 semi-oscillations per hour, Seconds stop
function for accurate time setting, shock resistant as per DIN 8308, anti-magnetic
as per DIN 8309, for protection up to 80,000 A/m. It has a screw down crown and case back, 20

Ventura
V-Tec Delta Swiss made unique digital watch with EasySkroll operating
system. The watch is brand new and unused with 2 year factory warranty.
This avant-garde timepiece has nothing in common with the attributes
associated with the usual digital watches; as all the products from
Ventura, it is high end and visibly so. What is most notable is the
absence of fiddly push buttons. the EasySkroll® System patented by
Ventura has a large, single scroller that guides smoothly through the
many useful functions and settings of the V-Tec Delta. It uses an in
house Ventrua VEN 04 Swiss made quartz movement. The architecture of the
V-Tec Alpha is archetypical and iconic. Hannes Wettstein is to be
commended for using his complete freedom in a most diligent and
disciplined way; his Kappa
is a perfectly balanced ergonomically well-thought masterpiece. Its
classic appearance is enhanced by the matte
finish case made of Titanox, the tempered, scratch resistant titanium
alloy that has become a Ventura trademark. Titianox is
superior to regular titanium whereby the metal is nitrogen hardened to
1,300 HV, which is equivalent to the hardness of sapphire which renders
the titanium virtually scratch proof.
The watch functions are operated by the scrolling button which is
integrated into the case. All functions are operated from the button,
and the operating system makes the use of the watch simple and logical.
The functions include Time and date 1with alarm, time and date 2 with
alarm, 12h or 24h format setting, perpetual calendar with setting of 3
formats, chronograph with 24 hour, minute second and 100th second
functions, 24 hour countdown, display back light, EasySkroll® operating
system and water resistance to 3 ATM. It comes on a black leather strap
with Ventura
signed Durinox deployant clasp. Ventura
