Zenith El Primero Foudroyante Chronograph 1/1O Second Watch
The first new Zenith watch of 2010 that I saw bored me to sleep at night. It wasn't a bad watch, but it just didn't do anything for me except remind of all the other watches that look like it. Now I learn about another new for 2010 timepiece that I actually do like (though it is not very practical). It isn't the neatest watch in the world, but it does take a very uncommon complication and places it into 1970s retro sport watch (why? Don't ask whyWhat? You know better than the Swiss?). Jaeger-LeCoultre released a watch with the same complication this year, but in a more classy traditional style watch. The complication is a foudroyante, and Zenith is specially equipped to make one. A foudroyante (also known as a "jumping seconds" watch) is a watch with a chronograph that is able to measure fractions of a second, done via a dedicated dial. The Jaeger-LeCoultre watch does more things as a watch, but doesn't have as fancy a foudroyante being able to measure only 1/6th of a second. Using its

Historical Perspectives: Something To Consider: The Watch On The Left Costs (Approximately) 100 Times As Much As The Watch On The Right
The watch on the right is a Universal Geneve Tri-Compax in stainless steel. It belonged to a man named Reginald Fullerton, who was the grandson of the great early 20th century watch collector (and commissioner of the most expensive watch in history) Henry Graves, Jr. It was sold at the final Graves auction that took place in June of 2012 at Sotheby's.? I purchased it at that sale for around $2,750, and you can read why I did that right here.?The watch dates to about 1945 (Fullerton purchased it new from the Henri Stern Watch Agency in 1948 while visiting with his grandfather) and features a triple calendar, plus moonphase, and chronograph, in a steel case.?The watch on the left looks a heck of a lot like my Universal Geneve, and was even sold alongside my watch at the HSWA in the 1940s, but it's worth about 100 times as much.? It is, of course, a Patek Philippe reference 1518 in yellow gold, and while it looks a lot like my UG, it has one (ok, a few) very important differences.? This w

What's wrong with the 5130?
I continue to look for my first complicated calatrava. The 5235g I'd on order, but with no hope for it anytime soon. I travel a lot and would like a dressy world time to complement my 5711 and 5164.I tried on the 5130g and liked it. However, that was at a large mall chain, who doesn't sell coveted pieces and tries to push upon you slow moving models. Anyhow, nobody here talks about this piece and instead talks about the 5131, 5575 or 5110. I do like it though. So, what is wrong with this piece and what am I missing?ImageUploadedByTapatalk1415251054.215584.jpg
