Christie’s Auction Features Thomas Jefferson’s Watch Key
Christie’s Americana Week sale takes place January 21-25 at Rockefeller Plaza in New York. The sale includes a unique watch key owned by Thomas Jefferson. The key contains a lock of his wife’s hair and is inscribed “Martha W. Jefferson Born 19 Oct. 1748, Died 6 Sept. 1782.” Jefferson, who never remarried, pledged to always remember his wife. It is believed that Jefferson commissioned this watch key as a means of fulfilling that promise. Jefferson is known to have had a penchant for watches. Christie’s cites Silvio A. Bedini, “Thomas Jefferson, Clock Designer,” Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society, who wrote “Probably more than any other of the notable American statesmen, Jefferson had a special interest in timepieces.” Christie’s also notes that Jefferson intended for each of his grandchildren to inherit a gold watch, indicating that he considered these personal timepieces ideal for remembering loved ones.

The Ginza...a Month and a half into ownership
I always enjoy reading posts from people who have owned their watch for some duration of time after ownership. It doesn't necessarily have to be an in-depth review, but just some words to describe what owning the watch for a period of time has been like. We all have preconceived notions before purchasing a watch. We all have certain expectations. Most often I feel (on this certain subsection anyway) people are truly satisfied with their purchase. There are also the few unfortunate cases where people are unsatisfied or decided to sell their watch. Below is my account of having the privilege of being one of the few owners of the Ginza edition. I've had the watch for almost a month and a half now. It's nothing too in depth, but just my experience and the things that I love about it. (yes, this is a positive review). In my first post about this watch, I shared the story of how I acquired it. In short, I first heard of the watch while reading a magazine in Japan a while back, then researchi

3700/1 vintage / Beyer vintage division
I do not recall who it was on this forum that was looking into the 5711 and /or the 3700 and 3800.I just wanted to let you guys know that Beyer in Zurich has a vintage division with which they do not advertise anywhere. They source pieces from existing clients, know their history, have the watches completely overhauled at PP and issued with new Archive records.There is no price list and no published inventory so you have to contact them but their inventory is changing regularly.They have a big catalog of pieces they have but you have to either go there and browse it through or ask them on the phone to flip through it with you. Its not digitized: paper version only.When I was there last they just received a 3700 fom 1978 with grey Beyer dial and bracelet. There was no price yet as it yet had be sent for the revision.They had a rose gold enamel (grand feu I think it was) calatrava of which only 30 exist, with strap and the rosegold gold bracelet, original to that model but unused/unpurch

My One and Only: Datejust II vs Explorer I
As some of you already know, I have been torn over finding my one and only Rolex that I hope to purchase in the next few months. I am looking for versatility in whatever watch I buy. I'm in a suit at least once a week and in jeans/button up shirt the rest of the week. I like the DJII, but I'm not sure if it will dress down too well with shorts and a t shirt. But, I like the silver dial, as opposed to the black. I also like the date function. On the other hand, I'm digging the chromalight lume, brushed bracelet, oysterlock clasp, and WG Arabic numerals on the Exp I. One thing I think I will miss is the date complication if I choose the Explorer. For those of you who may own both, what are your thoughts? Too many good choices out there!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
