Watch Facts

2018 marks the 35th anniversary for Casio G-Shock; back in April of 1983, the first G-Shock (DW-5000C) was introduced. And over the course of 35 years, many new technologies were implemented into the G-Shock. Here, we have one of the anniversary edition in Full metal with Gold Ion Plated; (ref : GMW-B5000TFG-9), with smartphone link, radio controlled time accuracy and also using the Tough Solar system to charge the battery. Numerous features on this watch including automatic time adjustment – world time, reminder, alarm, chronograph, time and place log, phone finder, 20 bar water resistance. With a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone, the watch can automatically sync with internet time servers 4 times a day and automatically update daylight saving time and time zones. A reminder application provides flash alerts for up to five dates. The phone finder function will locate a missing phone (assuming it is still connected via Bluetooth). The time and place feature functions like a flight log and records the time and location points (longitude/latitude coordinates) with the press of a watch button, then displays the log data on a map in the smartphone app. Supported mobile phones include iOS 10 or higher and Android 6.0 or higher. Full metal case with gold ion plated in 49.3 x 43.2 x 13.0 mm (which is identical to the original from 1983). Limited production. Priced at USD$600.00

Case is in ceratanium 44mm diameter, with a thickness of 13.1mm, sapphire crystal with display case back, water resistant to 100M. Shock Absorber XPL is a breakthrough in mechanical shock protection. After 8 years of development, the patented SPRIN-g PROTECT system uses a cantilever spring made of Bulk Metallic Glass to shield the movement from extreme impacts-up to 10,000 g. The movement “floats” inside the case, cushioned by the spring, while a unique crown system and aerospace-grade materials ensure strength with minimal weight. It’s one of the most advanced shock-resistant systems ever built into a mechanical watch. Movement is automatic Cal 82000, skeletonized classic tourbillon, bi-directional winding, power reserve is 80hrs. Limited 100pcs. Price CHF180,000

This watch is a faithful re-created on the Blancpain Tribute to Fifty Fathoms Mil-Spec, and it has a fully-functional humidity indicator at 6:00. This indicator is very important, in the event of moisture entering into the case, the upper half-circle of the indicator changes from white to orange letting the diver know the waterproofness had been compromised. Automatic Caliber 1150, ultra-slim, two-barrels, four-day power reserve. Silicon hairspring, anti-shock and anti-magnetic. Stainless steel case in 40mm. Limited to 500pcs. Priced at US$14,100.00

Grey and Silver Day and Night 24 hour dial ring. Sub-dial at 9 O’clock, 12 and 6 O’clock. The movement is powered by automatic BC781AC, with decorated Bremont rotor. Power reserve is 62 hours. Priced at £5,750

Bulk Metallic Glass is a special alloy composed of zirconium, aluminum, nickel, copper and Titanium. The new material means the watch is more anti scratch, more anti magnetic, more anti shock. It’s 47mm in diameter, with an automatic 9010 movement, 72 hours power reserve. Priced at 9900€ From 2017

• Concept became reality in 2020; Piaget took the concept from 2 yrs ago and took it to production this year.
• The case is made of a new cobalt based alloy that is highly resistant, 2.3 times stronger than gold, size in 41mm, thickness at just 2mm.
• The construction of the movement is simply mind boggling; no balance cock, no shock absorbing system, no jewels for the balance staff because there’s no balance staff.
• The balance runs in a ball-bearing set into the back of the watch case.
• The crown is completely new it take the form of a flat, telescopic system, conventional sliding pinion clutch and crown wheel are substituted for a single, ‘infinite screw’.
• Manual winding caliber 900P-UC.
• Power reserve is at 40 hours.
• Priced at US$395,000.00

This is the 2nd polo watch from RM. This RM53-01 incorporates a cable system to suspend the movement; acting as shock and vibration absorbers. This watch also has a unique sapphire crystal; it is laminated with a poly vinyl – a first in the watch industry. This layer of lamination ensures upon breakage of the sapphire, the piece will remain intact; much like the windshield in an automobile. TPT Carbon case in 44.5mm X 49.9mm. Manual wind Tourbillon with 48 hours power reserve. Limited to 30pcs. Priced at 900,000.00 USD

• The case is made of a completely new composite material called Aeronith.
• Aeronith is an aluminum composite that is 2.7 times lighter than titanium, 1.7 times lighter than aluminum, and 10% lighter than carbon fiber.
• Case size is 44mm.
• Not only is the case new, but the inside features a revolutionary watch movement that is completely different from what has been done in the past two centuries; with no conventional balance, no balance spring, no lever; and no conventional anti-shock system.
• The movement uses unconventional material to build, this new system is called Zenith Oscillator.
• Vibrating at 108,000 vph – one of the fastest on the market currently.
• As many watch collectors know, the higher the frequency, the more accurate the watch.
