NEWS WATCHES

BEST FROM: & Friends September 25, 2015
Although Vacheron Constantin recently unveiled their new and absolutely mega pocket watch – the Reference 57260 – we are kickstarting this round-up with a different pocket watch, one that is, in my mind, just as important, if not more. I'm talking about the Breguet 1160 Marie Antoinette pocket watch. This watch is significant because it was built as a replica of the original Breguet 160 pocket watch. It may not have the most complications, but it was constructed using just written descriptions and drawings of the original watch. It was a true labor of love and shows just how much the late Nicholas G. Hayek favored the brand Breguet.Moving on, we take a look at three high-end handwound chronographs from three of the most esteemed brands in the business – A. Lange & Sohne, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. And speaking of high-end watches, we also take an in-depth look at a very special tourbillon from Haldimann, the H1 Flying Central Tourbillon.
Ressence Type 2 Watch With e-Crown
This year for SIHH, Ressence has announced the release of the Ressence Type 2 watch with its “e-Crown.” This release is something that the team at best watches has been long anticipating; Ariel first reported on the development of the e-Crown back in January?going as far as to say that he felt that this release was going to be one of the most talked about watches of the year.No stranger to doing something completely and entirely unique, the e-Crown module developed by Ressence changes the way you interact with your mechanical timepiece. In brief, the e-Crown is a Bluetooth?enabled electronic module that sits between the mechanical movement and the Ressence Orbital Convex System (ROCS). What the e-Crown does is automatically sets and adjusts the time of the watch as needed or dictated by the user. You’re able to first set the time manually via the level on the case back, and afterward, you just double tap the crystal and the e-Crown registers the time and maintains it.
