Certina DS-2 Limited Edition Watch

Recently, Certina has equipped some of its DS-2 series of watches with its PreciDrive high-end quartz movement and sent them to battle for a slice of the slowly but surely expanding high-end – or, http://www.wristwatchline.co/ if you like, high-accuracy – quartz watch segment. There are myriads of different requirements a watch is rightfully expected to meet, but if it is to justify its price tag, it must do at least one of two things.

It must either be a truly fine example of what has gone before, or it must possess a saleable quirk into which the marketing department can sink its fangs. We're used to seeing whimsical novelties in the field of mechanical watchmaking, as each year, tens of millions of dollars or more are poured into the discovery, production and refinement of new materials and mechanisms in search of an edge over competitors. Designers are charged with re-imagining classic concepts to generate a slither of market separation.


Meanwhile, a significant portion of the lower-end of the luxury market remains underpinned by the ever-faithful quartz movement. As they say, "you can rely on a quartz, because it never changes," and "you know exactly what you're getting, as quartz has been pretty much the same for years..." Well, that is by no means entirely true, as proven by the collaboration of Swatch Group members ETA and Certina. The PreciDrive from ETA is a quartz movement able to achieve chronometer-like accuracy, and while it may not be a new release exactly (it's been around for about a year), it deserves attention for the effectiveness of its thermo-compensation mechanism, for the novel way it incorporates ceramic components into its design, and that it offers 1/100th of a second accuracy at a relatively attainable price point.http://www.wristwatchline.co/

Seiko Astron Solar GPS Chronograph

Over the last few years here at aBlogtoWatch, we have been closely covering the interesting developments of not just smart watches, but also of GPS controlled watches. One of the most important models – and in fact trend-setters – is the Astron line by Seiko.http://www.wristwatchline.co/breitling.html We have, of course, covered the original in 2012 (hands-on here), and since then, we have also checked out the new-for-2014 – and quite striking – chronograph version as well (hands-on here). For 2015, along with six new non-limited versions, the chronograph line is extended by the Seiko Astron Solar GPS Chronograph Limited Edition styled by Giugiaro Design.

The name Giugiaro Design, or Giorgetto Giugiaro may sound familiar to those with a more extensive interest not just in watches but also in cars: he has designed instantly recognizable and unique cars like the Audi 80, BMW M1, Lancia Delta, Bugatti EB118, along with dozens of others. He is, however, not just a car designer, but also an industrial designer, and as such, he first worked together with Seiko in 1983 on the world's first analogue quartz chronograph.

Perrelet Regulator Retrograde Watch

The people at Perrelet are at it again, dancing the complication jig. This new Perrelet Regulator Retrograde watch mixes a few complications in a way that (to my knowledge) hasn't been done before. You have a retrograde hour display, regulator style separation between the hours, minutes, and seconds (that occupies the main dial), and a periphery style date display. The balance of the elements is quite good. Plus, there is likely to one one (or two) people in the world who have been dreaming for a watch that combines all these complications together.

So if no one has been clamoring for a watch like this, what is the point? Well, to look cool. Watches with various different hands and types of dials are visually fascinating. People will look at the piece and ask "what exactly is going on there?" You can see how Perrelet split the watch in to two personalities (as is typical for them to do these days). There is the slightly larger sporty model in titanium that is 43.5mm wide, and a more formal version that is 42mm wide in a steel or gold case that is slightly more dressy in fashion. The watches have sapphire crystals and are water resistant to 100 meters (in titanium) and 50 meters (in steel or gold).

Thomas Ninchritz Vice Versa Watch

The reason this watch is called the Vice Versa should be pretty clear. Thomas Ninchritz took an ETA Unitas 6498 manually wound movement and was able to mount it backwards on the watch. He calls this his Caliber TN 203. At the same time, he was able to move the watch dial so that it is located in an smaller, off-centered position... on what would be the rear of the watch. So what you are left with is a timepiece whose dial is the rear of a heavily modified Unitas 6498 which has been highly decorated, and has a small watch face on the dial.

Appeal here is not only in the unique "adjustment" of the base movement, but also the fact that you can see the large balance wheel oscillating all the time on the front of the watch. I like how Thomas Ninchritz used a type of circular strip polish on the mainplate of the movement, as well as the overall decoration. There is also some hand engraving on the balance wheel cock, and a swan neck fine adjustment. Thomas Ninchritz isn't the only one to use this higher-end 6498 movement, but I tend to see them mostly in German watches (which includes Thomas Ninchritz).

Hublot King Spider Bang

As UFC 183 kicks off tonight, the main event will feature Anderson “The Spider” Silva squaring off against Nick Diaz in a 5 round middleweight bout.   As one whodoes not fall MMA in the least, I won’t make any predictions on the outcome.  There is one prediction I will make, however:  you will see Silva wearing this Hublot”King Spider Bang” watch sometime after the match, and he won’t be looking like you see him below.

Hublot has made 100 pieces of the watch you see here — with 48mm black ceramic case — and also 11 pieces in King Gold with red and black accents.   This is not a new release from Hublot, but it was top of mind this evening.  The Hublot King Spider Bang is available now at ‪#‎Hublot‬ Miami Design District boutique in Miami, FL — its lists at $21,600 in ceramic, but you can probably find it for a fair bit less than this if you put in the effort.

F.P. Journe Octa Lune Gets a Facelift

Week before last, F.P. Journe pulled the covers off of updated versions his Octa Lune references.  The new models — available in platinum or red gold — have been upsized and are now offered in 40mm or 42mm, which is, interestingly, +2mm vs. prior versions.  Along with the case upsize, the dial elements see some changes as well.  Actually, the dial layout has been meaningfully changed, and much for the better in my view.

The revisions are quite discernible, for the most part.  Then again some are rather subtle, so I will break it down for you.  First, the diameter of the off-center hours/minutes dial and overlapping small seconds sub-dial has been increased.  Regarding this, there are several other changes as well — the hands are no longer blue, the numerals are now applied and in white or red gold, the guilloche inner finish is gone, and the small seconds now has numerical notations every 10 seconds.  The larger size really makes a difference in terms of legibility and spacing.  Speaking of size, so has the date aperture been given an increase. 

In fact it is now 2x its prior size — a very welcome change for those of use who are partial to nicely executed “big date” functions.  You can see also the the F.P. Journe word mark and tagline “Invenit et Fecit” which were at the top perimeter of the dial are moved down near 7 o’clock, in tandem with moving the moon phase aperture up and a quarter turn or so to the left.  A lot of little things here and there, but in aggregate they add up!
