The Baume & Mercier Hampton Emblematic: A Fitting Nod To The Brand's Past
Baume & Mercier continues their string of hits with a special "emblematic" version of their Hampton. Modeled after an historic Art Deco model from the company's past, this Hampton features an arched case profile and curved crystal, with a vintage-looking Roman numeral dial. Fitting of a vintage-inspired timepiece, the watch is powered by a decorated handwound movement, visible through the display caseback, built for Baume & Mercier by LaJoux-Perret. The gold Hampton Emblematic will sell for $15,000.Click through for pictures of the caseback and the original Baume & Mercier from which this new model is derived. 2 OF 3 3 OF 3
Coming back to the fold -- 372 or 504?
After a long hiatus, I'm trying to get back into watch collecting. The only watch left in my stable is an IWC Portuguese 5001 in steel with a black dial. I used to have a 111, but sold it to fund other things. Now I'm itching to add a Panerai back to my collection. My first thought is perhaps the most obvious choice: the 372. That said, I'm feeling the itch to be a bit more adventurous. The 504 caught my eye. Generally, I prefer the base models or those with sub-seconds. I'm also biased toward in-house movements because I'm that kind of snob. Let's further assume this will be the only Panerai in my collection. What is the right choice? The 372 is close to winning out, but I wonder if it's too pedestrian to represent a manufacturer/brand known for unique special editions.Thanks!
OP 39 Blue- am I too old?
With your help, opinions, etc, I visited my local Rolex dealer yesterday and got a 214270 Explorer. I had the short hand model for a short while, and am really pleased with this watch. They had a used, very clean OP 39 in Blue. I had a Grape last year and liked it, for whatever reason I parted with it. I now feel though that the OP 39s may be too youngish for me. I am 66. What do you guys think, and if you have one and endorse it, if you feel like it, give your age, or if you think there is a particular demographic for this watch. I know it comes down to personal taste... and I kind of feel like I may finally arrived at a watch that I truly love in the 214270 Explore, maybe best to quit while ahead... thank you!
