Ulysse Nardin Executive Dual Time
For 2009 Ulysse Nardin introduces ceramic to the Executive Dual time collection. The 43 mm Executive is available in stainless steel and in 18 carat rose gold. Complications include an oversize date at 2, small seconds at 6, and Ulysse Nardin’s patented Dual Time display at 9 with ceramic plus and minus pushers at the 8 and 10 o'clock positions. When pressed, the pushers instantly adjust the hour hand to a different time zone while the home time indicator at 9 o'clock continues its 24 hour cycle. The movement is visible through a display back, and each case is individually numbered. The Executive Dual Time is water resistant to 100 meters. Both front and back crystals are sapphire, and the front crystal is anti-reflective. Available on an alligator or rubber strap with folding buckle.

Introducing The MeisterSinger Paleograph Chrongraph
Quick! How many hands normally appear on a MeisterSinger watch? One, right? Well, up until recently, that would certainly be the case. With the introduction of the MeisterSinger Paleograph, however, that answer is no longer entirely accurate. Sure, you've still got the singular hour hand (no minutes hand needed), but then there is a whole new compliment of hands showing up on the dial.These are most evident on the ivory-dialed version; although for me, I think I actually prefer the dark blue dial MeisterSinger Paleograph . Aside from my own color preferences, the dark blue dial sort of "hides" the chronograph functionality a bit more, making this look and feel more like a traditional MeisterSinger, in my opinion. Further confounding the expectations of a chronograph is the fact that there are no pushers flanking the crown.Therein lies another clever bit of design - while the Unitas 6497-1 provides the basic movement, MeisterSinger developed a column wheel chronograph module (with the a

Photo Report: Watch Spotting At The HODINKEE x Instagram Baselworld Event
In the middle of what is easily the most hectic and important week in the watch world, we decided to get together with an old friend – Facebook's Matt Jacobson (as seen in this January 2015 episode of Talking Watches) to talk about how one his products, Instagram, is changing the game for the watch world. We invited all of our friends from the watch world to come out for a conversation with HODINKEE Founder Ben Clymer and Jacobson on the future of digital and horology, and because we knew we'd see some great people and great watches, we took some pictures. Have a look at some of the watches that showed up at the HODINKEE x Instagram Baselworld 2016 event. 1 OF 35 A packed house of industry executives joined HODINKEE and Instagram for a conversation on watches and digital media. 2 OF 35 Jacobson's own 3448J. 3 OF 35A lovely ladies Bulgari piece.4 OF 35Rolex was well represented. 5 OF 35 Bell & Ross also joined. 6 OF

At The Bench: The Restoration Of A Seiko 6139-6005
We all know that an Omega was the first watch on the moon, mostly because Omega won’t let us forget (ever). However, the first automatic chronograph in space was the far more humble and less publicized Seiko 6139-6002, now known as "the Pogue." This is because Colonel William Pogue brought his aboard on Skylab 4 and Omega makes a watch to commemorate that mission, naturally. This watch made its way up to space without any authorization, making it a bit of a rebel amongst the space-watch elite. It is also the most affordable mechanical watch for those who want to feel there is something historically “spacy” about their watch, and it was also one of the first automatic mass produced chronographs, which isn’t too shabby either. (It first came out in 1969, at about the same time as the Zenith El Primero and the Heuer/Bruen/Hamilton caliber 11, and was the first full rotor, vertical clutch, column wheel controlled automatic chronograph ever.) Since the hist
