Patek Philippe 5930G (5930) Chronograph World Time Watch Hands-On
For 2016, Patek Philippe released the new 5930 series starting with the white gold 5930G, a world time chronograph and a rare occasion for us to see arguably two of the most useful complications for mechanical watches in alluring combination. The Patek Philippe 5930G world time chronograph is further an attractive piece, but does all this translate into a winner for the famous brand?Despite its $70,000-plus price tag, we can say that the new Patek Philippe 5930 is a watch that will actually get some wear-time on the wrists of globe-trotting Patek collectors, so to answer that question, we’ll have to look at this piece’s actual usability-yes, that. For history buffs it is worth noting that the 5930, as well as other modern Patek Philippe World Time watches are inspired by a 1940 Patek Philippe world timer watch.
HYT Skull Maori Watch
While there have been plenty of good things both said and written about HYT, one of the most frequent and widespread criticisms of those who just don’t “get” the brand is that their new releases are little more than updates on an already existing model. This opinion will no doubt greet the unveiling of the HYT Skull Maori watch, which is an update of one of HYT’s most gimmicky offerings. Personally, I think this criticism is a little unfair for two reasons, one industry-wide, one inherent to the company itself. Firstly, HYT produce an indication system that is genuinely unique. There are 19 different variations of the HYT, and although that is a lot for one watch, those 19 versions account for every single one of the market-wide options. This isn’t the same as Rolex churning out hundreds of three-handers to compete with rivals in their thousands. The aesthetic assortment offered by HYT represents the entire catalogue of watches with a liquid indication.
