Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 631!

Intro: Since 2019 Henrik Rye and Micromilspec have supplied 4000 heavily armed customers with thank tough time pieces. And when one of your team members goes by The Bullet as a secret code name, you know things are serious. Though some special edition pieces for military units were bought by collectors to support certain projects, Micromilspec has been opening its collection to civilians with a unique military look and specs such as with the diver Offshore, the pilot Hercules, and even a Space Force model. But if you’ve heard of Micromilspec recently, it’s most likely because of the Milgraph which made the headlines during Geneva Watch Days.

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 629! We’re going back to where it all began with Scottish Watches this Christmas with a festive visit to the Argyll Arcade with the Independent Retailer of the Year award recipient at the WatchPro Salon, James Porter and Son!

We’re in this focal point of the watch community of Scotland, and that even brings overseas travellers to handle brands side by side that you’d struggle to experience in the metal anywhere else. Simon brings attention to new arrivals such as Awake, Norqain and Bryne. The ongoing success of old favorites with Seiko, Grand Seiko, Sinn, G-Shock, Nomos, and others. Their relationships with these brands allow them to offer unique models and experiences like they’ve done with Fears and Studio Underdog.

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 628!

Yet another British brand that has not slowed down at all is Elliot Brown. Gem is here to give us an end-of-the-year update on how the brand has been hosting enthusiasts in Europe and North America, in many locations for the first time. Bringing awareness to their original story, the uniqueness of their wristwatches, and what the UK has to offer. New releases this year have been plenty. This latter half of the year they’ve brought out a sequel to the Whiteout and showcase their case hardening technique with the Ebinox. Releases that pair with a collaboration with Zulu Alpha to produce 3 custom straps for these tank tough watches.

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 627! We are happy to welcome back to the show David Seyffer, IWC’s Museum Director, as the brand is introducing a blue dial variant of their updated Ingeneur collection, which made its debut at Watches and Wonders 2023. We are  not just here to tell you the dial is now blue. We explore the pre Gerald Genta genecis of this collection and its connection to the Mark XI’s anti-magnetic properties. How then, in the 70s, Genta entered the picture to create another stainless steel integrated bracelet icon and the impact of reviving this icon today. But, IWC isn’t just their stainless steel sports watch, it wasn’t even their famed Pilot’s watch collection that made the biggest noise this year but the Portugueser, whose achievements with the Eternal Calendar were recognized with the Aiguille d’Or  award at GPHG.

IWC Portugieser Eternal Calendar – It’s insane that the caliber 52640’s moon phase will stay accurate for 45 million years! That overshadows the also impressive accuracy of the secular perpetual calendar, which only needs adjusting in the year 3999! The moon phase accuracy is due to a reduction gear train using three intermediate wheels, the result of 22 trillion computer simulations that resulted in that successful combination. For the administrative year to be as close as possible to the solar year we have leap years every 4 years. The exception to this is during secular years, like 2100, when even though it is a leap year, February has 28 days. This is what Kurt Klaus’ module does for the Portugieser Perpetual Calendars. Perpetual Calendars account for that. But with secular years divisible by 400, like 2400, that rule does not apply so the secular calendar will need adjusting. IWC achieves “Eternity” with a 400-year gear that will skip 3 leap years over four centuries. Two gears were added to the perpetual calendar gear train. One of the gears completes a rotation every 400 years with its three indentations, enabling the skipping of the 3 leap years. This mechanism can be seen through the sapphire display at 4. Consider our minds blown that this much information can be programmed mechanically in such minuscule components! CHF 150,000 seems like a fair ask for a 45 million-year investment. Kurt Klaus, celebrating his 90th birthday.Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar 3750.“Aiguille d’Or” Grand Prix: IWC Portugieser Eternal Calendar. Watches & Wonders 2023: IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40Scottish Watches Podcast #300 : Celebrating Gerald Genta With His Wife Evelyne and Daughter AlexiaScottish Watches Podcast #355 : Evelyne and Alexia Genta Return To Celebrate 50 Years of The Royal Oak and More Ingenieur 1950. Gerald Genta and his Ingenieur design 1976.IWC Mark XI.IWC Wand Wonders 2023.Scottish Watches Podcast #453 : Our Watches and Wonders 2023 Bumper EpisodeYacht Club Blue dial 1967. Blue dial Ingeneur 866AD.NEW IWC Ingenieur Blue Dial.
