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.
HYT H3 Hands-On: A Best-Of-2015 Watch
Now that 2015 is about over, I have been asked on a number of occasions “what were your favorite watches of the year?” That is a good question – especially for someone who categorically refuses to choose favorites. With that said, a fair number of watches from the last 12 months have certainly left big impressions on me, such as the HYT H3.Introduced at Baselworld 2015, best watches debuted the HYT H3 watch here. When we eventually got to see the watch a few weeks later, it was easily as impressive as I had imagined. Extremely expensive and produced, for now, in this version as a limited edition of just 25 pieces, the HYT H3 in titanium and platinum is very much the epitome of a niche luxury watch. It also happens to be an incredible composition of elements, and it works very well on the wrist. Now, if only watch collectors were more open to wearing horizontally long rectangular watches on their wrists.
