Watches - another OCD problem

[Graeme]

A few more bits and pieces from SIHH.

Montblanc have been doing some fantastic chronographs based around the Minerva monopusher movements, and this year's is the best so far.

There was talk that the TAG Heuer 02T was getting a carbon nanotube hairspring last year. It's now arrived, and promises better shock resistance, anti-magnetic properties, and thermal stability than steel or silicon. But they would say that.

Bulgari own the Gérald Genta brand after they bought it off The Hour Glass, a Singapore based retailer. They've done a fiftieth anniversary piece, which I rather like.

H Moser & Cie have produced a one-off Apple Watch knockoff, which is a minute repeater and tourbillon. They also left the hands off.

Meanwhile Richard Mille is trolling the super-rich by producing a collection based on sweets!

The Moser is brilliant. If I were Stevie Wonder, that would be my watch. Setting it is a bitch though and certainly requires eyesight.

I've held a view of Mont Blanc being a pretender for a while, but they're doing a good job. Forced to admit that their perpetual calendar is nice too.

Mille is… Well, Mille.

Not the first watch to be purpose built for blind people

I bought one years ago when it was on Kickstarter. Interesting watch.

Ah, I've seen that pop up in advertisements but didn't think of the use for blind folks–a tactile solution is nice too, since you don't necessarily irritate those around you when checking the time. Very clever.

Nice grail! Especially for one who travels internationally as much as you do, that's a great choice.

Oh, and I forgot to complain / express my confusion about how that Hermes has the hemispheres reversed for the moon views. It seems there must be some explanation for that, it's otherwise so close to perfection–why wouldn't north and south be oriented top and bottom?

[Giles]

Was not even looking.  Came my way at a price I could not turn down.  I already have a black bezel version, this may just go in the safe as it is seriously mint…..

@Giles: Love it, congrats to a great catch!

Enjoy ya addiction[emoji158] [emoji149][emoji148] [emoji2125]

[Giles]

@Giles:

Nice timing there @Giles!

(Both watches look good, and that Pepsi is really sharp.)

[Giles]

It'll go in the safe for a rainy day…..

Yeah nice pair @Giles

I think Arnie’s wrist is a little bit thicker than yours!

nice watches G. time to finish the trifecta with the coke…

[UnTucked]

I would think The Hulk would round it out quite well, and match nicely with those leprechaun stomper boots!
