It may come as a surprise to many regular 'dink replica IWC Ingenieur Automatic AMG Titanium Black Men readers, but there are some people out there that don’t like wearing a watch - i mean, that's what a cell phone is for, right? Now we just wouldn’t be doing what we do best if we didn’t come up with a classy vintage alternative to an iPhone as a bon vivant's primary time telling device.The watch we’ve found is made by Clarte for the always stylish Hermes, and it’s being sold (without reserve) in the upcoming Antiquorum auction in Hong Kong, in just a few days' time.
We have a strong affinity to the independent brands here at replica IWC 5442-02 watch Hodinkee.We think it is really something special how these small shops dedicate countless hours to engineering and design not so much to make money but rather out of a true love of watch-.One supreme example of a true watch-maker's watch-maker and independent brand is Peter Speake-Marin.If you are unfamiliar with Peter, he is 1/3 of the creative genius behind the Maitres du Temps line of watches.Impressed? You should be.
This unusual watch dates to sometime in the 1930’s and is described as a purse watch - a ladies watch designed to be carried around in a bag, rather replica IWC 4515-05 Watch than worn (just like cell phones today - except without the phone bit).It’s elegantly small, 37 by 42mm, and it’s encased in a really lovely, signed, black enamel case, which is in good condition for it’s age.The manual movement is wound by a crown under the cap.What’s also really cool is that it’s a direct read, displaying the time digitally (See they had digital watches in the 30’s too) rather than with hands.
