Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Orbital Watch
“The Amortiser” sounds like a banking industry themed super villain. But here it is a cool piece of functionality that you won’t find on other watches in this price range. New from Ball watches is the Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Orbital watch, a mouthful of a name, but suitable for a chunky timepiece with this much functionality. I got my hands on this watch, which should be available close to the time you read this.Ball fitted the Spacemaster Orbital (what I will call it for short) with ETA’s newer Valjoux 7754. Newer, as in released in 2003 (or so), which is fresh from the egg compared to some other movements we know and love that have been used since the 1970s. The 7754 automatic is based on the famed 7750, but adds a GMT complication to the mix. Even so, it still has a power reserve of about 46 hours. Not sure why we don’t see these used in more watches – perhaps they are very expensive or hard to get from ETA.

A mere 40 grams is still an impressive technical feat when you look at just how much is packed into?the latest marvel from Richard Mille. The cost for the 40-gram horological wonder? It’ll be seven figures.UPDATE 2016/2/10: The production model of the Richard Mille RM 50-03 McLaren F1 will include an orange strap, crown rubber and rehaut as seen here – differing from the prototypes we saw and photographed at SIHH 2017.Richard Mille is no slouch when it comes to passionately creative design and materials (possible unde
