Rolex Cosmograph Daytona – White Dial, Serviced by Rolex 2007


|
Mint and unused looking Rolex Daytona model reference
116520, which is a F series model purchased last year in 2004. It has been
serviced by Rolex UK in October 2007 and comes with the service receipt to
show this. This is the latest version of the Daytona with the Rolex in
house movement. The Daytona
is one of the worlds most sought after wristwatch.
This is due to the fact that it carries on a long line of Rolex
motor sport tradition with the Daytona, and the watch has had an
association with sports and racing since the 1950’s.
It has also been seen worn by many film stars and celebrity racing
drivers. In addition the
watch sports rugged good looks and is simply an stunning looking
wristwatch with a sporty look and feel as well as having has a practical
side to it with its twelve hour chronograph and tachometric bezel.
As well as this, Rolex manufacture so few of the Daytona’s that
they are very rare and difficult to get hold of.
Typically there is a minimum of 5 to 7 year waiting list. Pre 2000
they had the Zenith el Primero movement, post 2000 they had the Rolex
calibre movement. This one being post 2000 has the Rolex in house
movement. The Daytona is one
of the ultimate status symbols, and if you have the money to spare then
why not. The watch naturally
has a scratch resistant sapphire crystal, and has a screw down crown and
screw down pushers making it a water proof watch to add to the spottiness
of it. It is a watch for all
occasions, designed to take the knocks, but on such a watch that seems a
waste – it needs to be treasured. It
comes with all boxes, papers and peripherals.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control
Perpetual Calendar 18ct Rose Gold
|
Mint condition Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control
Perpetual calendar automatic wristwatch in 18k gold. Whilst it is being
advertised early, the watch is not ready to ship as it is currently at
Jaeger-LeCoultre, undergoing a full and complete service. Jaeger le
Coultre model reference number is 140.2.80. The UK recommended retail
price on this model is GBP £2,1000 which is US $33,600 by today’s
exchange rate. Jaeger Le Coultre 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 has got one of the finest calendar
movements in it. With Master
control, watch making pioneer, Jaeger-LeCoultre has created a new standard
of reliability in Swiss watch making. Each watch is therefore subjected to
a rigorous testing programme. Before being passed as a Master Control
watch, each timepiece must undergo 1,000 hours of the most severe tests.
This testing programme is more demanding than the official tests which
only involve the watch movement. At Jaeger-LeCoultre it is the finished
cased up watch, complete with hands and dial that is evaluated. The Master
Control watch has spent 1,000 hours under observation in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s
laboratories and has passed all the six position performance trials under
temperatures between 4 and 40 degrees Celsius and within magnetic fields
of 5,000 amperes/metre. The timepiece has also been subjected to shock and
vibration resistance tests and the case withstood water resistance to a
pressure of 5 atmospheres. Successful results in all of these tests give
the watch the exclusive right to bear the title of “Master Control 1000
Hours”, certified by the signature of the watchmaker – inspector
inside the case, and by the numbered seal engraved on the back of the
watch. It is a perpetual calendar which means that there is no need for a
date correction at the end of each month apart from leap years as the
watch know when a month ends on the 30th or 31st
days. It also has day, date, month, year and moon phase display. Another
clever feature is the window just above the centre of the dial. It
alternates between red and white. When showing red, the hands cannot be
moved backwards when adjusting the time. When shown white the hands can be
moved backwards to adjust the time. The case is solid 18 karat gold with a
sapphire crystal front and sapphire crystal back which displays the
beautifully decorated movement. It is 5 ATM water resistant. It comes with
the original mint condition brown alligator strap with a spare original
Jaeger-LeCoultre black alligator strap which is unused. It has the

IWC Portuguese Automatic Chronograph 18 K Rose Gold

|
IWC Portuguese automatic
chronograph in 18 karat gold in good condition. Three years old, purchased in March 2006.
IWC have been making specialised and high quality watches in
Switzerland since 1868. Many of the IWC vintage watches are now prized
collectors items. They are a company who continue to produce high quality
and unique watches for a more demanding current market. The IWC on a wrist
bears a bold statement about the wearer of one – unique, precise
attention to detail, demanding of the very best on offer. The Portuguese
first came into being in the 1930’s when IWC made watches for two
Portuguese businessmen, they continued the production of the Portuguese
line and named them after the first two customers.
It is particularly apt that the watch should be so named, since the
Portuguese once ruled the seas with superior navigational skills.
They took a great interest not only in navigation but also precise
time measurement, and that is certainly something not amiss with IWC
watches. This watch is one of
the most stunning looking watches being made today.
It is a large and heavy 18 karat gold case with solid case back.
The width is exaggerated to look larger as the dial is taken right
up to the edge of the case. It
has a stunning black dial with gold applied numerals, and tapering swallow
style hands. The chronograph
hands are also in gold. It
has a curved sapphire crystal, and automatic chronograph with the thirty
minute elapsed timer at the 12 position, and the 60 second elapsed timer
being the sweep hand. The subsidiary seconds are at the 6 position.
Has an attractive seconds scale on a sloped internal bezel. Comes
on high quality IWC signed brown leather strap and signed 18 karat gold
buckle which is heavy in weight. The strap is 3 years old and is showing
signes of wear, some marks to the case and bezel from normal use, but can
be polished up to look new, but best left original. It comes with all paperwork including signed warranty card,
newer style “hard” inner box and outer box.
The UK list price of this watch is £7,850 (US $14,300). Dimensions
are as follows. The width is 41 mm excluding crown, and 44 mm including
the crown. The thickness is 13 mm and the lug to lug distance is 47.5 mm.

Zenith Rainbow
Flyback Chronograph – El Primero Movement



|
Excellent
condition Zenith Rainbow Flyback automatic chronograph with El Primero
movement. The Flyback Chronograph has been discontinued for about five
years, but this one was purchased in March 2008 directly from a Tag Heuer
shop as new old stock and was just 13 months old when taken into stock.
The condition is immaculate. Zenith have been at the forefront of watch
making, design and technical innovations for nearly 200 years. They have
been long regarded as one of the finest Swiss watch manufacturers and one
of the few companies who make every single component under one roof, from
conception to completion, and each watch is an absolute masterpiece. This
is the Rainbow with the el Primero flyback movement. They don’t get much
better than the Zenith, in particular with the el Primero automatic
flyback movement. The el Primero has been long regarded by watch experts
the world over, as the finest automatic chronograph movement ever made. It
has in the past been used in some of the most celebrated watch companies
watches in the world. Until recently it was the movement used in the Rolex
Daytona. There are two
variants of this watch, the colourful dial and the black dial. The
colourful dial stands out and a very noticeable and prominent watch, it is
a handsome watch and the dial colours, red hands and red indexes on the
bezel break up the regular black/white colour scheme to create a practical
and purposeful watch that is also a beautiful watch.
It is rugged and technical looking watch. Anybody who knows about
watches will instantly recognise this as one of the most desirable to
have. It is very striking, well designed, beautifully finished with a
technical masterpiece of a movement. Sapphire crystal, water resistant to
5 ATM, all stainless steel. The
watch has been discontinued for about two years, and due to this reason,
and the relatively short production lifespan of the watch, it is a good
investment piece as the values are steadily rising.
Comes with inner box, outer box, and signed warranty card. As it
was bought as new old stock, the instruction booklet is missing. One cloud
be purchased through a decent search on the web.
The original retail price of £3,150, (US $5,670), due to the
scarcity of this watch, they are increasing in value all the time,
especially such a new one. Dimensions are 40 mm excluding crown, 43 mm
including crown, 48 mm lug to lug and 14 mm thick. Ref:

Limited Edition

Mint
condition Ikepod Hemiphode GMT Chronograph limited edition chronometer
Ikepod is billed as the “wristwatch redefined”, Ikepod banish all that
is unnecessary to reunite man and machine with the design authority and
organic power found in nature. This
is because the designs they take their inspiration from shapes and
patterns found not only in nature, but other objects designed to interact
with nature such as simple aerodynamics of a sports car or a surfboard.
Ikepod combines the technology of watch making with sensuality in
design to manufacture wristwatches which challenge connoisseurs to embrace
not only a timepiece but a bold new set of values.
Foremost amongst these values is the independence from the
conventions of traditional watch making design.
With belief in the modernist principals of “truth to materials”
and unity of form and function, Ikepod rejects gratuitous ornamentation in
order to highlight the simplicity of form.
It transforms what has previously been strictly a two dimensional
object into an organic, sculptural volume that functions in all three
dimensions. The Ikepod
approach deign is weighted with integrity.
When the design process strips away all excess the thing that
remains is unrivalled quality and purpose.
Ikepod demands intelligence and daring from its wearer and declares
individuality as the most exclusive form of luxury.
The designer of Ikepod watches is an artist, Marc Newson, he has
art works at museums all over the world.
The watch is space ship in shape and the inspiration in nature here
is more from that of a jellyfish. This
is model reference H02. The case is steel it is spherical in shape and
when viewed in profile, it is elliptical.
The automatic movement is an IP 7750 and can be viewed through a
small aperture in the case back. Water resistance to 50 metres.
The crystal is sapphire with anti reflective coating and is curved
to add to the elliptical profile. It
is a 30 minute chronograph with the sub dial at 12 being the thirty minute
elapsed timer, the sixty second elapsed timer is the central sweep second
hand. The sub dial at the 9
position is the subsidiary seconds to the time.
The sub dial at the 6 position is the GMT hand and the sub dial at
the 3 position is the date. Stunning black dial with contrasting orange
central sweep chronograph hand and nice touch with orange tipped pushers.

Marina
Militaire – Hand Wound Wristwatch in Titanium


|
Brand new and unused Marina Militaire hand wound
wristwatch in titanium. The watch has not been used before, but comes
without any boxes or papers. This type of watch is politely termed a
homage since it looks identical to famous brand – namely Panerai.
Calling it a replica is not quite correct as the watch doesn’t not have
the word Panerai anywhere on it. The Marina Militaires are popular watches
and make a large number of homage watches. The cost is a fraction of the t
real thing. The case specs and dimension is identical to a Panerai, so it
is generously proportioned, dimensions listed below. The case is brushed
titanium, with crown lock. It has a glass display back showing off the
movement. The movement is a nice looking Chinese made 27 jewel movement
which I believe is a Seagull movement, it is similar looking to a Unitas
6498. The dial is a mat black dial with luminous dial markings and hands.
Subsidiary second hand at the 9 position. The crystal is hardened mineral
glass with anti reflective coating. It comes on a brown leather strap,
with titanium buckle. All together an excellent watch and great value for
money. Dimensions are as follows. The dimensions are as follows: width is
