Panerai PAM305 Luminor Submersible 1950 Dive Watch Is Surprise Hit
Panerai's new P9000 automatic movement line was the star for the watchmaker at SIHH this year. The entry level in-house made movement is meant to be a friendly rugged machine with function and reliability in mind. This is particularly seen in the watches that the new movement line showed up in. My favorite of which is this PAM00305 (PAM305), also known at the Luminor Submersible 1950. In addition to being Panerai's first exhibition back diving watch it also has a face without a number 12. This is the first time I have seen this on a Panerai watch, though I am admittedly not a Panerai superfan like some people out there. You have to give this watch a double-take to make sure it is in fact a Panerai, because that "12" always in the same font, is just SO Panerai. Actually the look is based on some historic Panerai diving watches.Like many Panerai diving watches, the PAM305 is made of titanium, and is a lofty 47mm wide. I like the clean look of the design and the dial. The rotating diver's

G Gerlach Navigator Review
Amongst vintage dive watches, few are as delectably cool as the dual-crown "super-compressors" (though only some are actual super-compressors)… in fact, we like them so much here at worn&wound that we have a whole article dedicated to them. Dual-crown divers have a certain refinement to them, balancing sport and more formal elements in, typically, compact cases. The results are true gentleman's sport watches, with an elegance that modern divers rarely meet.Unfortunately, they are few and far between, and though were once meant for the water, these days are better kept dry due to their age. So when a brand comes out with a modern dual-crown watch, it always piques my interest. A few months ago, G. Gerlach announced their Navigator model, and I immediately knew I had to review it. Not only did the pictures suggest that the watch had a great look, one that drew on vintage dive watches, but coming from Gerlach, I knew the pricing would be great too.Immediately out of the box, I w

Found: The Patek Philippe Owned By The Founder Of Coca-Cola, And Other Ultra Cool Pateks Now On Exhibit At Tiffany New York
There is, as we've mentioned elsewhere, and as many collectors know, a very long and rich common history between Patek Philippe and Tiffany, which goes all the way back to 1851, as we've explored elsewhere. It's a remarkable history with a remarkable legacy, with Tiffany-signed Patek Philippes forming a significant group of watches and often commanding a premium at auction over non-Tiffany signed models, thanks to their relative rarity. Patek Philippe and Tiffany have just opened a remarkable exhibit: a selection of unusual and in some cases unique Patek Philippe watches and pocket watches, from the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva. They will be on show at the Tiffany flagship in New York for the next six months or so, and are a must-see for pretty much anyone interested in horology – it's exceedingly unusual for Patek museum collection timepieces to be seen anywhere outside the Patek Philippe Museum.
