“What Is Up With Yo Eye!?” – The great Eddie Griffin in the seminal 2001 comedy “Double Take”Vintage Patek chronographs are in many ways perfectly proportioned.  There is a reason that they are regularly considered the archetypes of the the modern wristwatch.  But, say the year is 1942 and you aren’t very happy with a perfect case and idealic symmetry to your wristwatch’s dial. Say, you want strange scroll lugs and an oversized minutes register that just doesn’t seem to make any sense.  Well, then you’d be the person responsible for the watch above – a completely unique and totally bizarre Patek Philippe chronograph reference 1491.

Industrial North Design from the United Kingdom designed and produced two watches, the Britannic and the Vanguard. In 2007, automotive stylists Andy Shaw and Rob Silkstone decided to produce watches using precision engineering. What about cutting solid pieces of stainless steel using a wire with 32.000 volts (EDM technique), to be able to maintain 0.002mm tolerances.

Industrial North Design

According to co-founder Rob Silkstone, the industrial heritage in Great Britain is something that should be part of the design of these watches. Both watches, the Britannic and the Vanguard are custom made by engineers that are also responsible for manufacturing precision parts for jet turbine engines for Rolls-Royce.

Vanguard

Industrial North Design also stresses that the sapphire crystals are from UK ground, the straps made to measure in England and that the mechanical movement (ETA2824 which we’ve seen in a lot of other brands as well) is being assembled and calibrated in the UK as well.

Britannic

The result of years of hard work is evident in their Britannic and Vanguard watches. They are exactly what they should be, representing this typical industrial look and breath Great Britain. What about the Fibbonacci spiral that has been etched in the dial of the Britannic? These watches are limited to 15 pieces each.

Caseback Britannic

Did I already mention I love solid case backs? I can imagine that – depending on the level of collecting – some people might find every movement interesting to see through a caseback, but I prefer to only peek at movements that are something special. I rather see something cool engraved in the stainless steel, like the Royal Oak chronographs from Audemars Piguet or the BR series from Bell & Ross. Therefor I love the case backs of these Industrial North Design watches. The screws give it an industrial edge, the ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ inscription is something fun and I love their logo.

The Industrial North Design Britannic and Vanguard watches are available for 2600 GBP (each). Custom work can be done as well, like a custom acid etched dial design (adds 600 GBP), a custom laser engraving on the back (600 GBP), custom made strap (400 GBP) or a made to measure strap (100 GBP). Also availble with PVD coating (sets you back 1800 GBP). Watches are available 6 – 8 weeks after ordering.

Have a look at their website for more detailed information and electronic brochure.

Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 3 watch is tantalizing time with its reinterpretation of Art Deco watch establishing a new artistic forum in watch design. Looking at the powerful sophistication of Histoire de Tourbillon 3 admirers are transmitted to both historical and futuristic cultural time zones leading their minds to an enraptured divide while attempting to interpret the wonders encompassing the artistic celebration of this watch.

This is Harry Winston’s third rendition of Histoire de Tourbillon and he has raised the technological ante in performance, aesthetics and architectural watch design. Histoire de Tourbillon 3 offers an impressive view of three technological hearts rotating inside an interior oblique chamber, along with two rotating escapements defying gravity and effectively managing time without skipping a beat.

Histoire de Tourbillon 3 has three acting tourbillons rotating at different speeds while performing distinct gravity defying functions. At 9 o’clock contained in an oblique chamber is a two tourbillon. The dual-axis tourbillon rotates every 40 seconds while the other rotates perpendicular to the first every 120 seconds. At 6 o’clock on the opposite-side of the oblique chamber is the third tourbillon, which on a single axis, making one revolution every 36 seconds.

Harry Winston summarizes Histoire de Tourbillon 3, “Using three tourbillons and two escapements with different properties in terms of mass, rotational velocity and inertia proved to be a delicate exercise in the balance of power.” Indeed, quite a balancing act that is perfectly architected.

The clean distinct lines and oblique angles of Histoire de Tourbillon 3 are reminiscent of art deco architecture placing Harry Winston’s watch in two worlds of modern chic and technological savvy. Histoire de Tourbillon 3 design has also established a new artistic forum as to how watches are designed. Histoire de Tourbillon 3 articulates a perfect marriage of classical timing consummated with current engineered technology producing a harmonious work of horology art.

Histoire de Tourbillon 3 technical features and attributes are as follows:

· Mechanical hand-wound movement, 479 components
· Double tourbillon (bi-axial) and tourbillon (mono-axial)
· Power reserve of 50 hours
· Decoration: Hand polished chamfers, circular graining and shotpeening
· Functions: Hour and minutes, small seconds, power-reserve indicator
· Case: 65 x 45.9 mm, polished and satin-brushed 18K white gold, satin-brushed caseband in Zalium®
· Crystal: 5 non-reflecting sapphire crystals
· Crown: 18K white gold with rubber HW engraving
· Water resistant up to 30 meters
· Dial: Black Opaline
· Strap: Beautiful hand-sewn black alligator leather

These are merely a few of the many exotic feature and functions of Histoire de Tourbillon 3. It is of coursed a limited edition watch with only 20 of each tourbillon artwork watch. This watch is for the discriminating yet refined taste of selective connoisseurs. It is both a historical and time transcendent watch that is sure to tantalize watch gazer and time.

Remember when we showed you what was probably the very first Lytro photograph?  Well London creative agency Berg has taken existing cinematic techniques and produced a similar result to a Lytro photograph, but with a much more detailed and exact interface.  And, they happened to demonstrate it using a 1960s Rolex Oyster Precision.  Watch the video above to see what we mean.

The Panerai you see above might look a lot like every other Panerai, that is unless you’re a Paneristi.  You see, the PAM 399 (and 398 – which is the same watch, but in gold) is actually a new case and crown design for PAM, and a watch that collectors are already going nuts for. Just how is it any different? Let’s explain:

sbpp003 power design project chronograph Seiko Power Design Chronograph SBPP003/SBPP001 Watch

Each year Seiko holds a contest called the Power Design Project. I don’t know all the details, but I believe it involves a contest among Seiko designers (and maybe other designers as well) in Japan to design cool new concept watches. Often times, many of the designs are very sober and classic – less wildly futuristic. Seiko actually produces some of the winning designs each year. Most of these pieces are limited in production and only sold in Japan, but you can get them online.

One of my favorite Power Design Project watch models from the last few years that was actually produced is this Ref. SBPP003 (white dial) or SBP001 (black dial). It looks like a combo between a sport Seiko, Tag Heuer Carrera, and an Omega Speedmaster. It is quite thin at about 10mm thick, and 40mm wide (in steel).

The dial comes in black or white – each matched to a black bezel. The piece is handsome and easy to like. Nothing wild here, save for a nicely polished design with both modern and vintage looking accents. I really do like the bracelet. Seiko is known to have the competence to make fantastic bracelets for relatively low priced watches.

Inside the SBPP001/3 watch is a Seiko 7T62 quartz movement. Basic, but highly effective and used in a healthy number of watches. The movement has the time, date, 60 minute chronograph, and an alarm. The lower subsidiary seconds dial is where you set the alarm. Though it is all includes in a nicely organized fashion. The hands and applied hour markers have lume. Little touches like the polished rings around the subdials help this watch be a winner. Don’t forget to always look out for Seiko Power Design Project watches for interesting, good-looking watches at relatively reasonable prices. The SBPP003 and SBPP001 watches are gonna cost about $ 450 at the current yen/dollar conversion rate.

These images are mostly from Keiya Japan, where I think you can actually get the watches.
