Charles Frodsham & Co. Double Impulse Chronometer Watch Hands-On
It was while in Dubai for Dubai Watch Week that I got? a chance to go hands-on with this lovely Double Impulse Chronometer by Charles Frodsham & Co., an historic English watchmaking company (based in London) most notable in modern times for its clocks. Charles Frodsham himself was a well-respected and active clock and chronometer maker in the 19th century, and today the family name lives on as the company continues to produce timekeepers. The Charles Frodsham & Co. Double Impulse Chronometer watch is a relatively recent addition to the brand’s stable of accomplishments and mixes traditional appeal with a bit of modern character.The principle technical distinction in the Double Impulse Chronometer watch is made clear by the name of the timepiece, and it is apparently the first wrist watch to make use of a George Daniels double impulse regulation system.?

Montblanc 1858 Geosphere Green & Bronze Watch Hands-On
Montblanc is following up last year’s launch of the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere with a green and bronze model this year in a limited edition of 1,858 pieces. Debuted at SIHH 2019, the reference 119909 1815 Geosphere is the same as the existing model, but with a new green color palette to match the current bronze case and last year’s black color palette for the Geosphere pieces.The green and bronze theme extends across three new Montblanc 1858 limited edition models for 2019 that also includes the reference 118222 1858 Automatic and the reference 119908 1858 Automatic Chronograph. As stated above, each of these three watches will be in limited editions of 1,858 pieces. For me, the Geosphere is the most compelling of the watches, given its casual, sporty demeanor and original design dial.
