Hands-On The TAG Heuer Carrera 'Tête de Vipère' Chronograph Tourbillon Chronometer

While the last decade and a half have seen a slow and inexorable upward creep of the cost of luxury watches, there have also been, more recently, some rather disruptive pricing strategies as well. Montblanc, for instance, introduced a steel perpetual calendar in 2014 which is just $12,800 (of course "just" is relative, thirteen grand is indisputably a lot of simoleons for us working stiffs, but you know, still). This year, Longines fielded an annual calendar for under $3,000. And in 2016, TAG Heuer introduced the TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 02T replica watch– a tourbillon chronograph priced at $15,950, about which Patek Philippe's Thierry Stern said, very bluntly, "(it's) nearly a joke to me...if they're willing to try to kill the quality of the Swiss product, I think they're on a very good track."

As much as it might have aroused ire in some quarters, however, the race to bring in traditionally very expensive complications at lower and lower prices does make an interesting point, which is that given sufficient economies of scale, and with modern manufacturing techniques, it is possible to produce working, reliable versions of traditionally extremely expensive complications at surprisingly – even shockingly – low prices. You give up things like time-consuming hand finishing, of course, and you have lower expectations in terms of things like case complexity and dial quality, but at the current prices for a well-finished perpetual (for example) from one of the Big Three (or Four, if you want Lange in as well) this alternative approach means an awful lot of people can get into high complications today, who couldn't have five years ago.

In any event, the Tourbillon Chronograph 02T seems to be here to stay (although the price has oonched up to $17,000, I notice; still a Low! Low! Price! by the standards of modern quote fine watchmaking unquote). As a way of sweetening the pot, this year TAG Heuer has released a new version of the watch, which is a certified chronometer. And it's not just any ole' run of the mill COSC cert; instead, the watches will be certified by the observatory at Besançon, France – not far from the northern border of the Swiss Jura.

Besançon at one time had a thriving watch industry which, at its peak, employed over 20,000 workers; now only about 1,500 people work in the watch industry there, which collapsed thanks to the Quartz Crisis – most markedly with the closing of Lip, in 1975. The observatory there was, like the observatories at Kew in England, and Geneva, engaged in the certification of chronometers and it still occasionally does so today. The specific mark of certification by the Besançon observatory was, and still is, the so-called Tête de Vipère – the Viper's Head. Besançon certified its first chronometer – a marine chronometer – in 1897, but got out of the business in the 1970s; in 2006, however, it began accepting watches for certification again, and since then about 500 watches have received its approval as chronometers.

If you weren't a fan of the original design in 2016 – however much you may be wowed by the price – the Tête de Vipère is not likely to change your mind; an open dial, ceramic bezel-and-case sports chronograph with tourbillon (and of course, a somewhat inside-baseball chronometer certification) doth not scream Everyman watchmaking from the rooftops.

I am bound to say, however, that in-the-ceramic, I was pretty impressed with the execution – the case is razor sharp and the dial, though the design may raise your hackles, is clean as a whistle. It looks pretty jazzy on the wrist, too; not the kind of watch towards which I'd normally gravitate but as with another of TAG Heuer's releases this year – the much-argued-over Bamford Monaco – I surprised myself by liking the cut of its jib much more than I'd have thought possible, and I do think the Besançon association is kinda neat. The testing procedures sound more or less identical to COSC; 16 days at Besançon and 15 at COSC (a chronometer is a chronometer is a chronometer) but why not have a little terroir avec votre chronomètre, n'est-ce pas?

Up Close:The Chopard LUC Time Traveller One Watch

Let’s face it, though we at QP do love a good world time watch, their design can lead to criticism from even the most easy-going watch enthusiast. Legibility, ease of setting, and proper management of visual clutter are but a few pieces of the puzzle that will instantly make or break a good world timer. When Chopard unveiled the L.U.C Time Traveler One, offered in platinum, rose gold, and the steel example seen here, we were instantly smitten. From an aesthetic standpoint the Time Traveler One instantly ticked all the boxes, prompting a closer examination after a bit of time on the wrist. Chopard LUC Time Traveller One replica watch.

The desgn

Starting with the visual appeal, the most distinctive design choice from this Chopard release is the use of a couple of vintage-inspired elements, most notably the compressor-style crown configuration at two o’clock and four o’clock. Chopard is not one to dabble in retro design (with the exception of one or two Mille Miglia models), yet it comes across totally naturally here when balanced against a more modern colour palette – and the conscious decision not to include a world map of any kind.

The typeface chosen for its 24 time zone cities invokes a spirit of travel, bearing a resemblance to that often seen in cartography of decades past. To be fair, the black and orange colour combination on the steel model took me a bit of time to warm up to. While reasonably legible, the off-white dial of the rose gold model, and the teal seen on the platinum model would no doubt sell remarkably well if offered in this “entry level” steel model.

The other big win for the Time Traveler One for anyone with an eye for vintage is its compressor-style case. While not a diver by any stretch (rated to only 50m of water resistance), the casing choice works perfectly from both a visual and functional level. Time and date setting is handled by the crown at two o’clock, stamped with an L.U.C logo, where as the four o’clock crown labeled with a globe handles the setting of the city disc when on the go. Measuring 42mm across and a reasonable 12.1mm thick, the Time Traveler One sits very comfortably on the wrist, and strikes a good mid-point to accommodate both smaller and larger wrists without being overpowering, nor underwhelming.

The movement

As with all things Chopard, the Time Traveler One doesn’t sell itself on visual appeal alone. Beating away at 4 Hz, the L.U.C 01.05L self-winding caliber is of course fully developed and manufactured in-house by Chopard. The caliber is chronometer certified, and offers a power reserve of 60 hours. While not a dealbreaker for many, it’s worth noting that this power reserve figure beats at least two of its closer competitors out of the water by a decent margin. The JLC Geophysic Universal Time and Montblanc 4810 Orbis Terrarum by comparison deliver a power reserve of 40 and 42 hours respectively.

The interesting thing about the world timer category is that, unlike more standard complications, playing the side-by-side comparison game isn’t so relevant. By the time you’re in the market for a world time, odds are you’re looking at it being at least the second (if not the fifth or sixth) watch to add to a collection. By then a level of appreciation has developed for particular brands, design styles, and other subjective details, leading the path to a world timer to a much more personal decision, rather than running through and ticking boxes off of a list. That said, at least at a personal level, the Chopard Time Traveler One makes quick work of ticking many (if not all) of said boxes.

Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller 126660 ‘Black Dial’ Watch Hands-On

At Baselworld 2018 Rolex debuted an up-to-date type of the famous Deepsea Sea-Occupant watch. Today, I give my very own undertake the completely new Rolex Deepsea 126660 and look for another dial version the standard black face for your Deepsea. Will another dial color for just about any dive watch merit a unique discussion? When it is a Rolex, possibly the answer then is yes. Furthermore, it generates for me an chance to talk about my own, personal feelings about Rolex's largest, and most professional's dive watch.

The dial

The conventional black dial for your 126660 Deepsea is not such as the D-Blue (blue to black gradient dial) with regards to text. The primary difference (furthermore to colours) could be the placement and size  Deepsea  Round the D-Blue 126660 the word lies right above Sea-Occupant?± under where the hands connect. Round the the black dial, Deepsea  is smaller sized sized and placed roughly where the hands connect under Oyster Perpetual Date . I happen to such as the black dial myself, incorporated in this is the keeping the writing. Yes, we aren?ˉt even speaking in regards to the functionality, construction, or ease of this wrist watch, but rather, where a small term lies round the dial. Thank you for visiting like a watch nerd.Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller 126660 ‘Black Dial replica watch.

Speaking about text, Rolex made an appearance to require the completely new for 2018 reference 126660 to look such as the outgoing 116660, so that it stored one of the original Deepsea’s most questionable features. This is a silver rehaut ring across the dial that contains two phrases being “Original Gas Escape Valve” (speaking concerning the automated helium release valve) and “Ring Locking System,” which describes how a situation should make certain such high levels of water proof. The silver ring is actually part of the Ring Lock which is a “high-performance nitrogen-alloyed stainless ring.” Honestly, whenever you put onto this wrist watch you quickly forget it's there, in truth Rolex didn’t need to help help remind the wearer every single glance in the dial this wrist watch contains these parts/systems. I am not frequently anyone to complain about a lot of text, but I'm not sure the writing round the Ring Lock should be there. Well i suppose, it isn't that big from the provide a normally fantastic package.

Most people who placed on a Deepsea will not go underwater - as well as to simply about 13,000 foot. The Rolex Deepsea has 3,900m water proofing due to a real submarine-like situation construction. Rolex makes watches that could go much much deeper - nevertheless it barely matters unless of course obviously you're in the miniature, wearable submariner pissing contest. The primary reason individuals have a inclination to use a Rolex Deepsea (in addition to the actual fact that it is really awesome machine) could be the size. At 44mm wide and almost double thickness in the Submariner, the Deepsea can be a animal round the wrist - just one that fans love.

The Ring Locking System situation is among the reasons it might withstand such massive pressures. The azure very alone is 5.5mm thick as well as the caseback is produced from grade five titanium. For 2018 Rolex will not be while using the “904L steel” designation to see the steel they'll use. They still use 904L steel for watches, nonetheless they just won’t think of it as that. Rolex features “Oystersteel” since the preferred term, making their special 904L alloy blend unique on their behalf.

It's true that Rolex does their particular particular alloy blends created for them constantly. It is also factual that until recently, really few other watch brand used 904L stainless. 904L is harder to machine, polishes up better, and contains some corrosion resistance characteristics which will make for just about any good diving watch.

A year ago in 2017 Rolex introduced the updated Sea-Occupant 126600 in the 43mm wide situation as well as in steel. Like the short-resided Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000 116600 (2014-2017), the newer Sea-Occupant now must fight due to its to exist. I ought to also show myself why I really like the 40mm wide Submariner. In my opinion a lot of it is really because the Submariner has such amazing proportions as well as the Sea-Occupant 43mm simply tries to screw it up up and provide a touch of red. I suppose likely to niche for your, but my wrist isn’t part of that crowd. In my opinion anybody who is able to properly accomplish the Sea-Occupant 126600 watch will accomplish this.

Even though there are more common elements involving the Submariner as well as the Deepsea than I have the persistence to see, these don’t placed on like the same watch. Yes, both of them are traditional-style Rolex diver’s watches. Furthermore installed on very differently and for 2018 the Deepsea 126660 finally wears as quickly (scaled up) just like a Submariner and doesn’t visually have problems with an undersized bracelet. Personally the finest improvement while using 2018 Deepsea is the better proportioned situation with matching bracelet. This wrist watch offers nothing new (updated movement), except for a similar Deepsea watch wearing experience, only better.

Rolex uses its recently debuted in-house “Superlative Chronometer” certified calibre 3235 automatic movement inside the Deepsea. This plus/minus 2 seconds precision every day movement operates at 4Hz (28,800 bph) with 72 hrs of power reserve. This really is really exactly the same movement presently inside the Rolex Datejust 41. The movement features the beginning starting time and date, getting a window at 3 o’clock.

The automated helium release valve can be a feature Rolex initially invented inside the late 1960s for serious professional divers who didn’t want their watch to destroy when helium attempted to prevent it as being the diver was hanging out in the decompression chamber. It becomes an very niche purpose by today’s standards and lots of people agree that watch brands who still implement these characteristics accomplish this only as it is another technical story to tell in regards to the watch. The thing is, the automated helium release valve is about the left-side in the situation as well as, you obtain that handy text round the Ring Lock reminding you relating to this.

Introducing The TAG Heuer Monaco Bamford Watch

 

Quick Take

Following their official watch customization partnership last year, TAG Heuer and Bamford Watch Department have announced a new special edition Monaco that combines a Bamford-style dial color treatment with a carbon case. Based on the Calibre 11 Monaco, the TAG Heuer Monaco Bamford mixes the case and dial layout of the McQueen-worn design we know and love but evolves the format with the use of a bright blue highlight color and a rather fitting carbon case.

After the 2017 launch of an OEM-supported watch customization platform with TAG Heuer (along with Zenith and Bulgari), this new carbon Monaco is a a further step in the relationship between LVMH and Bamford, with TAG Heuer supporting not just a customized watch, but an entirely distinct expression of the Monaco, one of its most classic models.

Initial Thoughts

While this isn't the only Monaco ever made with a carbon case (remember the Monaco V4 Phantom in carbon composite?), this is an exclusive carbon treatment of the classic Monaco case and it suggests a growing confidence in the Bamford partnership and, providing you like "aquablue," it looks great.

While the Monaco Bamford may be a bit too bold for some diehard fans of the format, I dig it. I like that it does nothing to threaten the existence or legitimacy of the more classic Monaco while still managing to take the Monaco in a new direction that maintains it's connection with motorsports. Also, call me crazy, but compared to the V4 case style, the Monaco Bamford also manages to retain some of the classic appeal of the McQueen-inspired pieces. While rendered in carbon, the case is still 39mm wide and the crown remains at its legacy nine o'clock position. As for the use of Gulf-like "aquablue" (a Bamford signature) for all of the dial markings and accents, you're either going to like it or  hate it, but I think it's a confident use of the color and a nice way to set off an otherwise all-black design.

Phillips To Auction Steve McQueen's Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513

As a follow up to last year's epic sale of Paul Newman's Paul Newman Daytona (and subsequent Daytona fever), Phillips has just announced that it will be selling yet another icon's iconic Rolex – the Submariner reference 5513 (not to be confused with his 5512, which sold in 2009 at Antiquorum for $234,000) that was purchased by Steve McQueen in the 1960s and gifted to his stuntman, Loren Janes, in the late '70s. McQueen and Janes started working together in 1958, and would go on to collaborate in more than a dozen movies, including Bullitt, The Getaway, and The Thomas Crown Affair. The caseback of the watch is engraved: LOREN, THE BEST DAMN STUNTMAN IN THE WORLD. STEVE.

The watch stayed with Janes and survived the Sand Fire wildfire that ripped through parts of Los Angeles in 2016. Eighteen homes were destroyed, including Janes's. All was thought to be lost, but apparently the watch was found by Janes's wife and daughter amid the ashes. The 5513 was sent to Rolex for service and restored. We aren't sure of what exact work was done in the service, but we do know that the case was refurbished and dial replaced at some point (the consignor has included a period-correct dial for the watch). The Sub was purchased from the family by Hollywood memorabilia collector and Beverly Hills Real Estate broker Michael Eisenberg (who also chased Paul Newman's Daytona), who has consigned the watch to Phillips for the October auction in New York with an estimate of $300,000 to $600,000. It is accompanied by a letter from the Janes and Rolex confirming it was indeed purchased by McQueen and serviced by Rolex. You can read more about it here and here.

But, being purchased by McQueen and being worn by McQueen are different things. It should be noted that this watch, which was previously unknown by many, has an extremely similar look to the other McQueen watch that sold in 2009. That's because while this watch was likely born with a two-line, gilt 5513 dial, it now features a matte four-line 5512 dial, making the matter more confusing. The big question we have here is when the dial was replaced – when it was in possession of McQueen (unlikely) or the Janes (possible). The one thing we do know is that the watch had this matte 5512 dial on it before it was sold to Mr. Eisenberg, which is a plus.

It should also be noted that McQueen's watches have always done very well at auction, but there is a constant debate about which Heuer Monaco he actually wore. There may have been as many as a dozen, so which is really entitled to be called the McQueen Monaco? This has been explored previously, and it's our guess we'll see something similar with these two McQueen Subs. While a matte dial 5512 Sub is what we most often think of in relation to McQueen's Rolex of choice, there is one image of McQueen wearing what appears to be a two-line-dial Submariner (what this watch was likely born with) so it is possible it is this watch. Again, with watches like this – where the provenance is not as direct as what we saw with Newman's Daytona – it is sometimes difficult to decipher how things came to be. And one must remember there are real dollars at stake. This piece should be interesting to watch based on both its condition and provenance because, as you know, in the vintage watch market, both are everything. You can read more about this listing here. （Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513 replica watch）

Hublot Classic Fusion Bol d’Or Mirabaud Chronograph in Titanium (Ref. 521.NQ.1717.QR.BOM14)

Hublot Classic Fusion Bol d’Or Mirabaud automatic chronograph watch (Ref. 521.NQ.1717.QR.BOM14) is a very nice take on the Swiss brand’s iconic Classis Fusion collection. While the differences with other models in the range seem to be only cosmetic, the choice of materials and the way they are put together makes a very strong impression. As usual, Hublot will severely limit its total production volume in order to make it a ‘real’ rarity.

It looks like the young Swiss brand has finally managed to produce a version of its  design that not only looks cool, but is actually quite exciting. While the basic shape of the timekeeper seems to be identical to that of other members of their growing Classic Fusion family, this new Hublot Classic Fusion Bol d’Or Mirabaud limited edition model delivers a very nice combination of materials and textures that make this gadget shine in all meanings of this word.

As you can see on these promotional photos, the lightweight titanium body of the device features a tasteful blend of mirror-polished (the case itself, the bezel ring and chronograph push-pieces) and satin-finished parts (the center part of its long angled lugs). This interesting mix is elegantly accented with carbon fiber insert in the bezel, the dial and even the strap where the material is stitched to black rubber band for better comfort and durability.

Although the oversized navy blue sub-dials with their sunburst pattern look a bit obvious on a watch that celebrates the 76th annual Bol d’Or Mirabaud regatta, an event which is held every year on the Lake Geneva, I must admit that the choice of color looks very organic here. The sub-dials not only provide the rugged-looking face of the timekeeper a bit more elegant look, but also make the device look more organic on a wrist of a man wearing a club blazer over a pair of blue jeans.

Of course, measuring 45 millimeters in diameter, the watch is massive, but so are other members of the Classic Fusion collection, so there is nothing to complain here about: you either take it or leave it, it is that simple. Have in mind, however, that the timepiece was designed to be beautiful, not ergonomic. Although the choice of metal makes the chronograph quite light, the shape of its case and the form of its lugs does not make this gadget terribly comfortable per se, but if you happen to own a thin and narrower than usual wrist, there is a good chance that fairly soon you will course the day you bought one.

Even if you seriously plan to order the Bol d’Or Mirabaud on-line, don’t be shy and pay a visit to your local Hublot boutique and try it or some other member of the family on your hand. Better safe than sorry, you know.

As you have probably already guessed, the number of these ultra-luxury time measuring devices that the company is going to produce will match the number of years the Bol d’Or Mirabaud regatta is in existence. Right, only 76 individually numbered pieces will be offered to a privileged few.
