Introducing the Autodromo Prototipo Brian Redman LE
I've been a pretty big fan of the Autodromo Prototipo watches since they were first released in 2013. Simply put, they are one of the best releases of the last couple of years, with pitch perfect styling and razor sharp execution. Their vintage aesthetic just nails the look and feel of 60's and 70's racing chronographs, but with enough twists and turns to make them distinctly Autodromo. I recommend reading our lengthy review here, if you are unfamiliar with the watches. One such twist was that when they were initially released, there was a limited edition version dedicated to Vic Elford, a renowned driver of the Prototype-era. The watch, which featured a 3-eye chronograph, some very stylized coloration based on Mr. Elford's Porsche 907 paint job, sold out almost immediately upon release.Following the success of the Elford, Autodromo has teamed up with another iconic driver of the prototype era for a new limited edition watch. The Brian Redman Edition commemorates both the driver, Mr. R
Fascinating article
The fascinating part of it is not the comparison between the 3 chronographs, IMO, but the brief history about the high end brands and their view on the way to make watches, that you could find the same base caliber in a 1500$ Speedster as in a high end Patek, of course the movement of the two after being redesigned and decorated had nothing in common.So maybe Patek doesn't have the same finishing it once had, personally I have no idea, as I never looked at a 20 year old Patek movement under times 4 magnification, and at a modern movement of the same complications and price.Many want in-house movements over outsourced, but the models going for the highest prices at auction, whether Patek or Panerai, were outsourced...Anyways hope you find the article interesting...https://.hodinkee/articles/pa...harmony-review
Tudor GMT Pepsi
I just put my name in at the AD for the new Tudor. I love the watch, the movement, and at less than half of the new Rolex SS GMT it's IMO a better purchase. Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk
Four cornered Rolex
Being the Golf player and bigger PGA tour fan that I am, I have seen Phil Mickelson Fri and today(haven't seen footage or pics of The first round) wearing a rectangular/ four cornered watch. It was pretty easy to see on zfridays round as he didn't get any coverage today on the back nine. I have followed Phil for years and know he wears whatever model on a strap opposed to bracelet. I have always thought that some if not most of his playing watches were the Cellini line. Just curious, anyone else notice this? The Motherships website has no such watches in the lineup.Thx for reading
