Dual Time, Vacheron Constantine

Vacheron Constantin Harmony Dual Time

Gallery

Founded in 1755 by Jean-Marc Vacheron in Geneva,
Switzerland, Vacheron Constantin embodied the first horologic complication and engine turned dial. This innovative and luxury timepieces continued to thrive within the family throughout the French Revolution until Vacheron’s Grandson took on a partner, Francois Constantin, giving us the name we know today.

unnamed-5

A timepiece said to be part of the “Holy Trinity,” along with Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin was owned by men like Napoleon Bonaparte, Pope Pius XI, Harry Truman and the Duke of Windsor. The name itself emanates superiority and so does its’ caliber.

The Vacheron Constantin Harmony is a tribute to the 260 years of its vivacity. The Limited Edition watch is cushion shaped and designed by a look inspired by a Vacheron Constantin unnamed-4Chronograph that was introduced in 1928. It was stylized to interoperate the contemporary style of said chronograph. The back of the watch has an inscription in tribute to the 260th Anniversary, along with a beautifully engraved skeleton case back.

The Harmony offers the most ideal complication of having a second time zone. The large clean display makes it easy to read the second zone, as well as the day and night indicators on the unnamed-6left hand side. The watch is not luminescent, but if it were, it would have taken away from its’ vintage heritage, ruining the style and purpose of its’ design. Normally, square or tank style watches don’t sit well on my wrist, but this case fits beautifully on round square-shaped admirers. Also, the double-sided folding clasp was amazingly comfortable and adds to its’ high-end uniformity.

IWC, Luxury Watches

IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Worldtimer

The world is your mistress, and your greatest affair would be to explore her. Let different cities across the globe seduce you with their beauty and excitement while you carry this unique IWC on your wrist, made for the world traveler inside of you!

The IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Worldtimer can be your wingman as you travel across the world, whether it’s for work or for your luxurious getaways. This IWC has an ideal overview of the different time zones, unnamed-3even if you’re past the International Date Line. The outlying 24-hour ring of the dial is positioned once to current UTC (Universal Time Coordinator) using the crown and runs to local time zones without needing any adjustments, becoming the ultimate travel companion. The special case back is designed as tribute to world travelers, with its imprinted glass of the Northern Hemisphere and its different time zones.

What I find most attractive about this watch is the cool gray color of the slate dial. It could be because I’ve developed a great love for grays, but I feel as if the shades of this IWC are universally attractive.  What’s also very distinctive about this watch is its very clean display, leading all the way to the edges of the face. It kind of reminds me of an infinity pool. The marks are very legible and there is enough spacing between the major cities to make it easy to read. It has a good size crown and screw-down locking system nestled nicely between it. The watch is well finished and has an anti-reflective coating.

Personally, my business doesn’t require a lot of travel, nor do I do business in the multi-time zones that are offered in this new 2016 model, but the watch is very functional and easy to set if you have worked with other brands that have similar features.

I love the way the watch feels on my wrist and the continuity of the new alligator strap developed for this series. It’s an amazing fit and suitable for an active enthusiast. Overall, I think the IWC Yacht Club World Timer is a great buy! The only objection I have to this watch is the fact that it’s a bit too thick if you’re a stickler on having watches slide easily underneath your dress sleeves.

The IWC Yacht Club World Timer is well priced and can be found below $9,900.

The Panerai PAM00424 is a very stunning watch.  Although the simple design there is so much detail that goes into this vintage looking watch.  The roman numerals on the top half of the dial and the arabic numerals on the bottom half of the dial is very unique and definitely adds some character to this Panerai.  The 424 is very similar to the PAM00448 Radiomir.  However the 424 being more wearable due to having a scratch resistant sapphire crystal compared to the PAM00448 with the very scratch able Acrylic (nice word for plastic) crystal.

Many watch aficionados say that 47mm is to large for a wrist watch.  The great part about Panerai is that with the 47mm they are actually sticking to their ‘roots’ as the original Panerai that the Italian Navy Black Seals wore while diving were actually 47mm in size.

Check out some great watch pictures and Videos from Beverly Hills Watch Company.  Watches from Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Cartier, Vacheron Constantin, Hublot, IWC, Panerai, Patek Philippe, Jaeger LeCoultre and many others.

We are adding more and more inventory to our website everyday we have so many excellent live pictures of watches that we figured we should start making Watch picture galleries on our blog.  So many time you go to a website selling watches and you get copy and paste photos from the manufacturers.  First of all this is not right second it is copywriting material but you really dont get a good sense of what the physical watch looks like.  Unless the watch is shipped direct from Switzerland to you (which will never happen) there may be light scratches and or case wear that you cannot see from a stock picture.  Thats what makes Beverly Hills Watch Company stand out from all of the other watch retailers.

Rolex forms a Global Partnership with Formula 1

Red Bull Formula 1 Race Car Sebastian Vettel 2012

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rolex announced today, they will “become a major long-term partner of Formula 1” starting in 2013 “as the Official Timekeeper and Official Timepiece” of the world class racing series.

Is it a coincidence or a well planned release of what will be the 50th year of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona?
