Mmmm… tasty. A new B&R. This is an ETA base caliber, probably a 7750, with 42 hour power reserve. It costs about $3,500, which actually isn’t that bad, and looks like a monster.

Looks like Harry has made a nice diver chrono in honor of Andre Agassi. Yep, that’s right. Good old Andre. It sold at auction for $110,000. They better include all of Andre’s hair in that little package.

Did your sig other ask for a Calvin Klein watch for Christmas? Slap them and head over to Watchismo where there are some amazing bargains to be had in classic timepieces. I’m loving this Exactima chrono, for example, and it’s only $325. Go for it, people.

So a new watch maker Linde Werdelin has come to our attention. While I dont love the Flash website, I do like the look of a number of their models.
They have 2 basic models – the Elemental and Two-Timer, the Elemental uses an ETA 2892-2 elaborée mechanical movement whilst the Two-Timer has an ETA 2893-2 elaborée mechanical movement to provide two time zones. Each has a 42-hour power reserve, a calendar at 4 o’clock – and a personalised LINDE WERDELIN oscillating weight.
There is an add on for either of these models which turns the watch into what they are calling a Biformeter essentially is is an add on computer which can display various functions, like a compass, altimeter, barometer and even heart rate. One of the founders, Morten Linde believes: “Analogue is how you read watches. Digital is how you assimilate technical details.” and so they have created this add on to enable you to do this. The technology behind the computer unit is pretty spiffy too including “- A state-of-the-art wireless sensor network allows up to 1 Mbit/second data transfer at a distance of up to 50 metres. The network is compatible with numerous types of sensor and input/output devices.”

Anyway, enough of my rambing, head on over to www.lindewerdelin.com and check them out.

Have a great weekend.

WatchReport got an email about the Fossil Twist:

“The beauty of a finely crafted automatic timepiece is coupled with the accuracy and reliability of quartz housed in a watchcase that reveals its intricate inner workings to the wearer.”

So it’s a quartz AND auto movement? Ok, cool. But Christian dug a little deeper and discovered that the whole thing was a crazy mishmash involving a quartz movement and an auto movement for show. Absolutely insane.

“As far as the Twist line, it is a quartz driven movement. The automatic part of the watch is just for looks.”

Is Fossil drunk?
