Louis Moinet Jules Verne Instrument 1 & 2 Watches With Moon Rocks
Would these watches make Jules Verne proud? Possibly. The unique chronograph watches from recent luxury watch maker Louis Moinet proves that the steampunk genre is alive and well. How do I know? Probably because these watches epitomize the ideal and I love it. Influenced by Jules Verne's classic 1865 novel "From the Earth to the Moon" (plot: big gun shoots American and French man to the Moon), the watch even houses an actual piece of rock from the moon (found on Earth). There are two models of the Jules Verne watch. First is the Instrument 1 "From The Earth To The Moon" watch, and second is the Instrument 2 "Around The Moon" watch. The different between the two is that the Instrument 1 has a chronograch with a second timezone, and the Instrument 2 has a rattrapane chronograph (split timer).The watches feature two "firsts."?? Most obvious, is the unique chronograph pusher system that uses fold out levers to operate the chronograph. This helps prevent starting and stopping it accidentall

The Value Proposition: The Longines Column-Wheel, Single-Push-Piece Chronograph Reference L2.800.4.53.0
There aren’t too many more inherently refined animals in the horological bestiary than monopusher, two-register, column-wheel chronographs. They have a certain archaic fascination – I suppose you could say that about just about any mechanical watch, as far as that goes, but the single-button chronograph is the earliest type of chronograph watch mechanism, and the column wheel the earliest known type of control system for switching on and off, and for reset. 1 OF 6 Vintage monopusher chronographs from major names like Patek Philippe can go for – well, see for yourself; and while there has been a bit of an increase in the number of monopusher chronographs at the less costly end of the spectrum in recent years (not that less than $5 million is setting the bar very high for “less costly”) like this very nice one from IWC that launched this year, they still have a bit of an aura of exclusivity, which, naturally, things like this monopusher rattrap

Introducing: The Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater, The World's Thinnest (In Current Produc
Records in watchmaking are increasingly elusive, and generally transient. However, pursuing them has given rise to some very interesting watchmaking. Breaking a record may be hard, and holding it is even harder, but for now, it looks like Bvlgari has managed to do both, with the launch at Baselworld 2016 of its Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater. 1 OF 5 Ultra-thin wristwatch movements are rare; complicated ultra-thin wristwatch movements are even more rare, since the challenges in ultra-thin watchmaking tend to rise exponentially as the watch becomes more complicated. For that reason, the most complex watches are made in ultra-thin variants by only a few companies, and as a rule, they're those firms with a very long technical history in such watchmaking – Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Audemars Piguet, Piaget. Bvlgari came late to the ultra-thin game but they're playing it like they mean it, with such watches as the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon (see our int
