The Tricompax Baltic X TOUR Auto 2024 Limited Edition. This is one of the pricier Baltics out there, but is it worth it? Ohhhh yes, 500 pieces limited edition, tricompax goodness with flat link bracelet AND the amazing Rally Chronometer (for the dashboard consisting of two stopwatch style clocks – one as a stopwatch and the other as a timekeeper). Dimensions for the watch for your wrists are perfect Goldilocks territory, 39.5mm a thickness of 11mm without crystal and 13.5mm with the crystal, and a quick-release bracelet for the 20mm lugs. It’s a good size for a watch that houses the SW510-M movement from Sellita with a generous 63-hour power reserve. Goes on sale on April 22nd at 4 pm Paris time and deliveries will start very soon after in May. The watch looks amazing with the dashboard-inspired subdials and color scheme, also worthwhile to mention that we get drilled lugs!! Who doesn’t like that? The bezel, of course, has a tachymeter, while the internal rehaut displays the minute track and lume pips, followed by the inner ring of Arabic numerals showing the hours. For 2,100 Euro the watch with both straps and the extra Rally Timer can be yours. Scottish Watches Podcast #542 : Collector Chat With Chloe ChanScottish Watches Podcast #561 : What Actually Happened At Watches and Wonders 2024Scottish Watches Podcast #562 : Watches and Wonders 2024 – Our Final ThoughtsWhat Actually Happened at Watches and Wonders Show 2024 – A Truthful ReportCzapek Release The Brand New Promenade Watch and Xavier Is Here To Explain All Largo Winch. New Joker Konstantin Joker Titanium. The Guardian Trending On Tick Tock Why British Watches International Timepiece High Status.  Behrens UltraLight Manual Wristwatch  20G Titan.   Tissot Banana.   OW Rallychron. Scottish Watches Podcast #563 : Jody From Just One More Watch Launches The New Erebus Ascent

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 561! Deep dive with us into what happened last week at Watches and Wonders 2024! Part 2. Like with Star Trek The Original Series, no need to listen to the previous episode to understand what will happen in this one.

A special thank you, for helping us cover the biggest watch event of the year, goes to @wildwristwatch, @onliberty1859, @koolpep_watches, @mr.c.mojo, @robbieandwatches, @philipbwing, @the.nightwatch.man, @batch_watches, @whatsonherwrist.

Raymond Weil Millesime. Raymond Weil Pop. Watches & Wonders 2024: Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometre Chronograph Moon, Heliotourbillon Perpetual, and Quantieme Lunaire (Live Pictures) Scottish Watches Podcast #487 : Justin Hast Is Back To Talk Watches Laurent Ferrier Classic Moon Blue and Silver. The Laurent Ferrier Classic Moon Annual Calendar combines the classic annual calendar and moon phase complications with a well-balanced dial and an interesting take on displaying the moon phase. This is the first time that Laurent Ferrier has combined an annual calendar and moon phase complications. The moon phase is beautifully presented on a rotating disc. The moon and the stars on the disc have an application of lume, so they glow at night, and the moons are partially obscured by a pair of semi-transparent blue discs to indicate the moon phase. The double moons indicate the moon phase in the northern and southern hemispheres. Running seconds share the moon phase sub-dial, and the date is indicated pointer date style using the light blue or red central hand. The annual calendar automatically takes into account months with 30 or 31 days, and it only requires a correction between February and March. The day and month are both displayed at the top of the dial. The symmetry that has been maintained while combining these two complications certainly makes for a handsome, well-balanced watch. The case is 40mm in diameter and 12.9mm thick. It comes in stainless steel or red gold. The movement is a hand-wound it has an 80-hour reserve with a reserve indicator visible through the exhibition caseback. It has 30m water resistance and sapphire crystal both front and back. The steel version is CHF 70k, and the gold is CHF 80k. All in all, it is a good-looking, complicated watch.  Grand Sport Tourbillon.  Piaget Watches and Wonders. Piaget’s AUC Tourbillon is the world’s new thinnest tourbillon. Based on the Altiplano Ultimate Concept, Piaget has kept the proportions at 41.5mm x 2mm even though the M64BC cobalt alloy case now houses a flying tourbillon for this 150th-anniversary model. The trick of building directly on the case back is still being used with most of the moving components sitting on the main plate/caseback, protected by the rigidity of the M64BC alloy. The case back features a porthole window into the back of the tourbillon, giving the effect that the mechanism is floating and not connected to the movement. This is because Piaget uses a rim-driven cage where the driving gears are covered by the scrounging plates. This method is mainly used to reduce thinness, compared to the classic Breguet style. The toothed cage requires a more complex going train to deliver the power to rotate the tourbillon every minute. Instead of mainly using jewels, which double up (top and bottom) in their positions, Piaget uses a large diameter ceramic bearing that forms the tourbillon cage, reducing height and friction. The also flying barrel shares the construction method of the tourbillon. With 30% more energy needed for the tourbillon, its thicker mainspring stores more energy. Energy consumption is reduced by remaking the large wheels with 4 spokes instead of 6, decreasing their weight and thus the power to operate them. For the few who can enjoy this cutting-edge tech, you’ll be glad to know that the lugs are more angled to better sit on the wrist.B Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC. Bulgari has reclaimed the crown for the world’s thinnest watch with the new and improved Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC! At 1.70mm tall, it beats Richard Mille’s RM UP-01 by a whole .05mm. It’s cool to see this space race-type competition going on and appreciating from afar (it costs EUR 600,000 with just 20 pieces made) how it’s advancing the technology of the haute horology world. Even if it isn’t the most practical because it’s a spectacle. For now, it seems the maximum movement thinness had been achieved with the Ultra, but optimizing the sapphire crystal gave the Ultra COSC the edge. Like with the Ultra, the Ultra COSC project was done alongside movement specialist Concepto. The tungsten carbide case back is also the main plate with 170 components attached. Time is set by using the horizontal crown at 3, and the crown at 8 is used to wind the watch. These actions can be performed by a special new box. With a regulator display, Bulgari optimizes the 40mm diameter instead of building up. Showing that the caliber 180 isn’t a gimmick, it’s undergone 15 days of COSC tests to be certified. The tight accuracy tolerances are partially achieved due to the variable inertia balance. A controversial feature of the Ultra was the QR code decorating the barrel, a data matrix on the caseback performs the same role now, leaving the barrel to be laser engraved with a radial pattern. If you can handle 0.10mm more, a full platinum and tungsten carbide Utra has launched alongside the new thinnest chronometer. Watch Alert: Piaget Polo 79 Panerai Geneva 2024.  Nomos Glashuette Tangente Date 175 Years of Watchmaking Glashuette.  Why create one limited edition watch when you can create 31, one for every day of the month? That’s what NOMOS has done with these colorful new Tangente 38 models. They have released 31 different designs, each limited to 175 pieces to celebrate 175 years of watchmaking. The 37.5mm stainless steel cases house a DUW 4101 hand-wound movement with a 42-hour reserve that can be viewed through an exhibition case back. The colorful dials are protected by sapphire crystal, and the name of the watch along with the limited-edition number is engraved on the back. The names NOMOS have chosen for these watches are just as fun as the color combinations. Flamingo pink, Super Sardine, Katzengold, Tiefseegrau, Sportbunt, Chili, or Rambazamba, anyone? I suspect the design department has had a field day creating these.I’m not sure that they could be described as everyday watches, I suspect they will appeal to collectors and fans of the brand, but they are attainable at £1,925 for limited edition watches. On the subject of watches being limited editions, I think NOMOS has done a very neat trick here because on the one hand, they have released 5,425 watches to celebrate 175 years, which is quite large and therefore means there are plenty available (that’s almost Omega limited edition numbers) but on the other hand each variant is a numbered limited edition of 175 so you will always be one of a relatively small number of people to own that specific model if you buy one. Let’s face it, who wouldn’t want a Frostblau or Schlossgrün?  Chronoswiss Watches and Wonders. Scottish Watches Podcast #325 : News, New Grand Seikos Plus Chatting With Moritz Grossmann and Chronoswiss Cyrus Etheral Win Orbital Tourbillon. Watches and Wonders 2024: The Best Of Patek Philippe (Live Pictures) 

Recording with Montblanc. Scottish Watches Podcast #559 : Czapek Release The Promenade and Xavier Is Here To Explain All https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5yIXh0ri7A/  Ulysse Nardin Nomad. The futuristic design of the Freak collection from Ulysse Nardin is at its best with the Freak S, launched in 2022, very much looking like it has a starship on the dial. It also boasts the user-friendly mechanical intricacy that we’ve come to expect from UN. The carousel starship acts as the minute hand and gets its energy from a large barrel that spans almost the entirety of the diameter of the watch. The 72h of power reserve that it holds is gained with the Grinder automatic winding mechanism. With a peripheral rotor and quadruple winding pawls, this is one of the most efficient mechanisms of this function. Shake the watch for 30 seconds, and you’ve built up about 12 hours. The barrel can also be wound clockwise with the caseback. The power passes from the pinion through the differential into a vertical clutch, which then powers twin inclined silicon balance wheels. This enhances accuracy by averaging the errors of the two. The disk below acts as the cover of the large barrel and hour hand that rotates with a luminescent inlay as the barrel unwinds. The disk/dial in the Nomad looks amazing, sand-colored, and decorated with hand-turned guilloché with a diamond pattern. A rehaut ring elevates the makers above the dial. Time is set with the anthracite PVD-coated titanium bezel. The caseback is also Ti with the PVD coating. The 45mm x 16.6mm case has carbon fiber plates on the laterals and lugs on the Ti build. We dare say this 99-piece LE is the best the Freak has ever looked!Scottish Watches Podcast #556 : The Ulysse Nardin Story – 1846 To The Freak FutureScottish Watches Podcast #396 : Inventor of The Chronograph – Louis Moinet – Past, Present and Future Louis Moinet Novelties.  Norqain Watches and Wonders Novelties 2024.  Gerald Charles Masterlink.  Scottish Watches Podcast #503 : The Legacy of Gerard Genta In The 21st Century Through Gerald CharlesCartier Santos de Cartier Dual Time. Sartory Billard Tourbillon Duo. Philo’s custom piece – https://www.instagram.com/p/C2cZPkcxejR/  Space One Tellurium. Recording with Vacheron.TAG Heuer Nanograph.

 TAG Heuer Watches and Wonders. If you ask anyone about a true and tested Chronograph company, TAG Heuer will probably come up first. One of their most iconic models is the Monaco. For the 2023 edition of OnlyWatch, they submitted a split-second chronograph. And now we get this very special version of the Monaco with the famed Rattrapante functionality. Sure it’s not the slimmest with 15.2mm thickness. It’s not the easiest to pull off with its quite large square look. But just look at it, the skeletonization, sandblasted titanium visible clearly through the sapphire case back. And the movement is a joy to look at. Developed in cooperation with Vaucher (Parmigiani, Hermes) and also used in some form even in Richard Mille watches shows, TAG can play in the big league if they want to. And the price reflects that with a Richard Mille-ish CHF 165,000, available from June. Scottish Watches Podcast #529 : Its Our Christmas ShowMoser din dins.

Pioneer Centre Seconds 3201-1201. Pioneer Centre Seconds 3201-1204. Elaborate in execution but minimalist in appearance. The H. Moser & Cie Concept series’s stars are the complex dials that are barren, apart from a handset, so the hand-craftsmanship gets all the attention. Following this execution is the new Moser Pioneer Concept Citrus Green. The watch has a killer vibrant lime-green fume dial with soft transitions from yellow hues at the center and green on the edges. The flow of color is made even more stunning with a sunburst finish. With artistic dials even necessary elements like the hands can seem out of place but here the partially skeletonized and luminescent leaf-shaped hands look right at home and more conceptually connected to the dial thanks to the unusual design choice to frame the lime dial with a Super-LumiNova flange. This pairs with the everyday sports nature of the Pioneer case. Especially here where the 42.8mm x 10.6mm (14.2mm tall including the high domed sapphire crystal) x 51mm frame is mostly brushed. The rugged flourishes of the ridges on the sculpted 22mm lugs are one of our favorite lug designs. To sit between them, one can choose a three-link bracelet, leather or textile strap, and, our pick, a blue rubber band that perfectly complements the green dial. The Centre Seconds Concept Citrus Green operated by the Swiss-made HMC 201 movement, boasts a robust 3-day power reserve (gained with a bi-directional pawl winding system) and a new partially open architecture finished with Moser’s double stripes, anthracite coating, and gold detailing. Beating at 3Hz, the balance wheel’s impressive Straumann hairspring delivers great stability and thus accuracy.  https://www.instagram.com/p/C5qwZoWge33/  Streamliner Tourbillon 6814-1200. H. Moser & Cie. is building on the Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton released at Watches and Wonders 2022 with a second venture into skeletonization with the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton. Now, with the caliber HMC 814, the dials/movement is a piece of skeletonized art conceived from a caliber that wasn’t designed in this fashion but looks stunning. Even better with the steel Streamliner case (40mm x 12.1mm) and bracelet. Some bridges almost mimic the link shape of the integrated bracelet, which itself is handsomely finished with fine brushing and polished between the links. The fully skeletonized caliber enhances the motion of the one-minute flying tourbillon, equipped with a cylindrical hairspring with 2 Breguet curves at 6 o’clock. The main plate and bridges are anthracite coated with some rose gold elements like the skeletonized oscillating weight that charges the 72h of power reserve, finished with diamond beveling The rose gold of the movement is picked up by the hands and indices. These boast Globolight inserts. The Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton joins the regular collection for CHF 79,000. https://www.instagram.com/p/C5nK4s-LtR_/  Tudor New Watches.   https://www.instagram.com/p/C5irXMjLDr1/.  Tudor has absolutely delivered on the wish list of their fans with the new Black Bay 58 GMT. Size, mainly thickness, has been the main criticism of Tudor’s GMT watches. That’s no longer the case with this as it takes on the 39mm diameter of the Black Bay 58 and reduces the thickness from 15mm to a nice 12.8mm, and it reduces the lug to lug by 3mm. Extremely wearable proportions thanks to the new Kenissi manufacture caliber MT5450-U. This movement has the traveler’s GMT configuration, so local time is adjustable in 1-hour increments. It is a robust caliber that is bought COSC and METAS certified, accurate to -2 and +4 seconds per day, anti-magnetic with a silicon balance spring, and has a power reserve of 65 hours. There’s also a date complication displayed at 3. The cherry on top is the retro look that they’ve gone for with a coke anodized aluminum split 24h bezel insert with golden markers that match the finishing of the snowflake handset and applied markers on a matte black dial. The faux rivet style 3-link bracelet also complements this aesthetic, though it could do without it. The bracelet’s been upgraded with the T-Fit clasp for on-the-fly adjustment. On bracelet this goes for CHF 4,300 and 200 less on the rubber. The Tudor Black Bay 41 mm is back in black for those who want a classic, no-date dive watch with notable upgrades. Without any of the usual gilded detailing, the 7941A1A0NU has a pure tool watch appearance. An extremely legible black sunburst dial with white printing and rhodium-plated applied markers filled with Super LumniNova and a snowflake hour hand that no one can miss (sward hand for the minutes and lolipop for the seconds). The same can be said for the 60-minute diving scale on the aluminum insert of the unidirectional fluted bezel. The more pronounced fluted bezel is one upgrade to the case, helping with grip, of many which include a height reduction to 13.6mm from almost 15 previously, a bubble style case back helps disguise the height along with slimmer lugs, as well as a domed sapphire crystal. Furthermore, the screw-down crown, which ensures 200m of water resistance, has an understated look compared to older models, with it being slimmer, closer to the case, and with no aluminum ring. It’s still decorated with the emblematic Tuder Rose. Inside beats the Calibre MT5602-U with Master Chronometer certification. If you’re looking for an alternative to the no-date Rolex Submariner, this is it for $4225-4550, and you can get the full look with the tree link bracelet, additionally, there’s the rubber strap, but we would go for that handsome 5 link option. All three come with the T-fit clasp. Tudor BB Chrono Pink. Tudor Alinghi.  Montblanc Watches and Wonders. Montblanc is pushing the boundaries this year at Watches and Wonders, and it’s doing so by joining the club of the so-called ‘’ultra-deep divers’’ with its new Iced Sea 0 Oxygen Deep 4810. The new piece is 43mm in diameter by 19.2 mm in height. We can say that this is within range for a watch that can reach out a whooping 4810 meters or 15780 Ft of depth. The Montblanc Iced Sea 0 Oxygen has all the oxygen removed from the case once it is assembled to avoid oxidization of the internal mechanics and components, another reason for this procedure is that it avoids any fogging with temperature fluctuations. Although it seems that this type of technology is not for everyone or everyday use, it is refreshing to see companies finding their own specific goals to keep pushing the technology on their watches. The dial was created with an old technique from the 19th century called gratté-boisé, which consists of a tedious technique of polishing the dial without losing any material, this allows the Iced Sea dial to have that unique pattern with lots of depth. Inside the Iced Sea 0 Oxygen, we find the manufacture caliber MB29.29, which has been COSC certified, self-winding mechanism, and provides a power reserve of five days. It is also worth noting that the watch complies with the current ISO 6425 standard. The Montblanc Iced Sea Oxygen Deep 4810 is available soon for 9100 USD. High-end watchmaking and Montblanc have been walking hand and hand for a while. These days, together with the great expertise drawn by their relationship with Minerva, Montblanc has released the 1858 The Unveiled Minerva Monopusher Chronograph for this edition of Watches and Wonders. The idea remains the same, to show the beautiful inner workings of the chronograph without having to turn the watch over. From the top, we can see contrasting finishings in blue against the German silver plates, it is all very dramatic but, for the new 1858 The Unveiled Minerva Monopusher Chronograph we have 5 sapphire crystal windows from the side. With this new feature, the 43mm stainless steel case provides the wearer with a new perspective on the MB17.26 manual movement. The sapphire apertures (hence the name of the watch includes ‘’unveiled’’) also allow more light to enter the case, this should let appreciate better all the inner workings. There is a 60-minute counter and a seconds subdial with a different hand tip to differentiate each other. The cathedral-style hands take little or no attention to the feast of metal under the main sapphire crystal, and of course, we have a characteristic pointed arrow close to the center at 12 o’clock. The height of the watch is 14.78mm. Other design cues include a coin bezel, the large mono-pusher crown, and a blue sfumato calf leather with alligator print. The price for the Montblanc 1858 The Unveiled Minerva Monopusher Chronograph is to be confirmed and will be limited to 100 examples.  Novelties Hermes.  Hermes H08.  Nico outside Grand Seiko with an adamantium suit button . Grand Seiko Watches and Wonders. Watches & Wonders 2024: Grand Seiko SLGW002 & SLGW003 – The Perfect Watches? Scottish Watches Podcast #350 : The Grand Seiko Show – With Rob BrookScottish Watches Podcast #456 : The Grand Seiko Show 2023 With Rob Brook Chopard New Creations Watches and Wonders.  Vacheron Constantin Watches and Wonders. Vacheron Constantin is delivering a new update on their Overseas collection. Touching almost all segments of the Overseas, ‘’La Maison’’ is now offering their second ever Overseas on a Titanium grade 5 case in 42.5 mm. The watch houses an ultra-slim movement just 5.65 millimeters thick, a tourbillon cage based on the iconic Maltese cross. With 188 parts and a power reserve of 3 days, the new reference 6000V/210T-H032 seems to be one of the most wearable tourbillons out there. The price of the new Vacheron Constantin Overseas Tourbillon is on request only.Green also seems to be the color of choice for Vacheron Constantin this year. In the department of complications, we can find the new Overseas Chronograph and the Overseas Dual time in full rose gold with a sunburst Green Olive Dial. The Chronograph reference 5520V/210R-B966 has a case of 42.5mm and it houses the self-winding calibre 5200 with the Geneva Hallmark. In the case of the Overseas Dual Time Reference 7920V/210R-B965 the case is slightly smaller at 41mm and houses the calibre 5110 DT/2 which is also awarded the Geneva Hallmark. Prices of both variants are upon request.

To finish strong, the ‘’basic’’ lineup also got the pink gold treatment. The new reference 4520V/210R-B967 is also adorned with the sunburst green from the Dual Time and the Chronograph models. With a 41mm case and the self-winding caliber 5100, it seems to be the perfect choice for a more elegant interpretation of the steel variant, both watches share the same technical specification. On the smaller side, we also have the 35mm Overseas reference 4605V/200R-B969 variant in full pink gold with a setting of 90 cut diamonds. The watch is powered by the calibre 1088/1 which is only 3.83mm thick. Both watches are only available upon request.

The post Scottish Watches Podcast #561 : What Actually Happened At Watches and Wonders 2024 appeared first on Scottish Watches.

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 560! Take a break from Watches and Wonders for this hour as we chat about the new Fears Boutique, Brooklands announces a partnership with F1 commentator David Croft, continuing troubles at Hodinkee and Crown & Caliber, plus a few non-W&W releases.

Space One launches their second album, the Tellurium, which offers that Urwerk vibe but for a lot less. Mido and MB&F MAD Gallery go the super colorful route with their new special edition. And we can’t completely avoid talking about W&W so we bring you 3 punchy new models from Moser and Norqain. Also, a massive thank you to everyone who has helped us reach 70k followers on Instagram! You people are legends!

H. Moser Pioneer Centre Seconds Concept Citrus Green. Elaborate in execution but minimalist in appearance. The H. Moser & Cie Concept series’ stars are the complex dials that are barren, apart from a handset, so the hand-craftsmanship gets all the attention. Following this execution is the new Moser Pioneer Concept Citrus Green. The watch has a killer vibrant lime-green fume dial with soft transitions from yellow hues at the center and green on the edges. The flow of color is made even more stunning with a sunburst finish. With artistic dials even necessary elements like the hands can seem out of place but here the partially skeletonized and luminescent leaf-shaped hands look right at home and more conceptually connected to the dial thanks to the unusual design choice to frame the lime dial with a Super-LumiNova flange. This pairs with the everyday sports nature of the Pioneer case. Especially here where the 42.8mm x 10.6mm (14.2mm tall including the high domed sapphire crystal) x 51mm frame is mostly brushed. The rugged flourishes of the ridges on the sculpted 22mm lugs are one of our favorite lug designs. To sit between them, one can choose a three-link bracelet, leather or textile strap, and our pick, a blue rubber band that perfectly complements the green dial. The Centre Seconds Concept Citrus Green operated by the Swiss-made HMC 201 movement, boasts a robust 3-day power reserve (gained with a bi-directional pawl winding system) and a new partially open architecture finished with Moser’s double stripes, anthracite coating, and gold detailing. Beating at 3Hz, the balance wheel’s impressive Straumann hairspring delivers great stability and thus accuracy. Scottish Watches Podcast #558 : Snoopy Goes To The Dark Side and Tudor Are Tickled Pink https://glasgowvaults.co.uk/ – https://glasgowvaults.co.uk/faq/ The Snoopy Omega MoonSwatch Dark Side Is Here Plus Watch Robbery BlitzRikki is wearing the Jack Mason Stratotimer GMT Expresso.Vintage Rolex GMT Master Bakelite bezel inser. Seiko Pogue. Dave is wearing his Konstantin Chaykin Joke Titanium. Adweek – Hodinkee Crown Caliber.  Norqain Wild One Skeleton 42mm Gecko and Coral. The Norqain Wild One is ingenious for activewear with its exclusive NORTEQ carbon fiber composite construction, made possible with the brand’s collaboration with Jean-Claud Biver, and BIWI SA. Together with a titanium container for the movement with is incase with a rubber shock absorber, the Wild One is light on the wrist at just 78g while comfortably withstanding 5000g of shock. Kind of perfect for tennis. It won’t tire the arm or cripple the movement with the vibrations of a powerful swing. Thus it makes sense for Norqain to partner with 3 time Grand Slam champion and one of three people to beat the greats of tennis (Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray, and Rafael Nadal), Stan Wawrinka. The Swiss tennis player had been wearing the Skeleton Tourquase courtside since the US Open of last year. To announce this partnership to further Norqain’s growth worldwide, Norqain is adding to the skeletonized subcollection of the Wild One. Another advantage of NORTEQ is its ability to be colorized. The new editions pay homage to tennis courts. The fiery red clay of Roland Garros’s courts with the Coral, and the green hollow grass courts of Wimbledon with the Gecko. Stan will be wearing these on those courts during this year’s tennis season. These are joining the collection for $5,790. Norqain Wild One Skeleton 42mm Turquoise.  Norqain Wild One TCS New York City Marathon Limited Edition.   MAD Gallery Editions.  Fears Boutique.   Redcliff 39.5 Date ‘Boutique Edition’. Brunswick 38 ‘Boutique Edition’. Brunswick 40 ‘Boutique Edition’. GarrickScottish Watches Podcast #532 : World Speed Records, Concorde and Creating Watches With The Brooklands Watch Company  Watchpro – Brooklands Watch Company F1 Commentator David Croft.  Space One Jumping Hour.  Space One Tellurium.  Seagull Retro No Signal Small TV 34mm Dual Calendar Automatic 1051a.  Mido Multifort TV Big Date s01e01. Mido’s Multifort TV Big Date has lost its signal. Or more precisely this limited edition of 999 pieces is using its after-broadcast time to recalibrate or is doing so after experiencing technical difficulties as this new wild dial is styled after a TV test card, specifically the Philips circle pattern used in the 20th century in European and Australian PAL TVs, which where used to adjust image quality when not broadcasting. Mido hasn’t just added a flat assortment of colors but also brought texture by creating 4 sided triangles that bring a 3Dness to the dial. Really complementing the colors of the dial are the new yellow and pastel green rubber straps which can be had alongside a three-link bracelet for $1,470. Scottish Watches Podcast #559 : Czapek Release The Promenade and Xavier Is Here To Explain All https://www.instagram.com/scottishwatches/

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 559! As we are getting ready for Watches and Wonders, Swatch may be looking to highjack the show with a dark side Snoopy MoonSwatch, Tudor is going pink with David Beckham’s Inter Miami, and Breitling starts their 140th-anniversary celebrations with a range of GMT Navitimers.

Click here to read along and see the photos in our show notes as you listen – http://www.scottishwatches.co.uk/2024/04/04/scottish-watches-podcast-558-snoopy-goes-to-the-dark-side-and-tudor-are-tickled-pink/

Plus we share our Rolex predictions with Esquire and review the Garrick S4 Ice Blue for The Limited Edition with Pietro.

Tudor Goes Pink With The Black Bay Chronograph with David Beckham’s Inter Miami.  Tudor Black Bay Chrono.  Tudor Black Bay P01.  The MT5813 is manufactured by Breitling as a variant of their in house B01. In return Tudor provide Breitling with the automatic MT56 movement. Significant differences include addition of Tudor’s regulator made up of a free sprung balance wheel with four adjustable masses and that the chrono counter goes up to 45 minutes.  Breitling Navitimer 41 GMT. While the Breitling Navitimer may not have as much popularity as the Rolex GMT Master II or the Omega Speedmaster, it is very much an icon in its own right as a pilot’s navigational tool and a chronograph (at least for the chronograph versions). There aren’t many versions of the Navitimer GMT, which might have something to do with the fact that the Navitimer is already a rather complicated watch. With multiple scales on the dial, so adding another was always going to be a challenge. The brand did brilliantly though, adding the 24-hour scale with a relatively short 24-hour hand on the inner side of the hour markers allowing that to separate the dual time zone functionality from the slide rule scale. The GMTs are set in the brand’s Navitimer 41 line, which has 41mm x 46.8mm (kudos to Breitling for including this) dimensions. If you aren’t a fan of the thickness in Tudor GMTs, then you’ll be happy to know Breitling went with the Sellita SW-330 base movement which allows it to have an 11.6mm thickness though you lose flyer GMT functionality. There are GMT models, 3 in steel with black or cream or sky blue dials, and 1 in rose gold with a deep green dial. The GMT models range from £4,850 to £12,850 depending on strap/bracelet and case material choices.    Breitling boutique robbery.  https://www.instagram.com/britishwatchmakers/  Scottish Watches Podcast #557 : The Aftermath of Watchmakers Day with Elliot Brown  https://www.gva-watch-days.com/  Aurel Bacs. Paul Newman Daytona sold for $17.8 million.Is a dark side of the MoonSwatch Snoopy coming soon? Swatch Mission To The Moonphase  I was wrong about the MoonSwatch – It’s bad! The Snoopy MoonSwatch has made me change my opinion. Dave is wearing his Oris Hölstein Edition 2022.  Rikki is wearing the Garrick S4 Ice Blue Exclusive To The Limited Edition.      TLE website – https://www.thelimitededition.co.uk/
