Tim reviews future collectible luxury watches from the 1990s! 1990s watches are the next frontier for watch collectors seeking value in vintage watches. This cast discusses the IWC Grande Complication 3770, the IWC Portuguese 125th Anniversary 5441, the Patek Philippe Neptune 5080 and 5085, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Automatic 42040 and 42042, and the Audemars Piguet Star Wheel 25720. Price ranges for examples of each watch model are covered, and all watches are addressed with respect to their historic significance.
This feature concerns a favorite topic of watch collector discussion boards: controversy. And when controversy arises, the watch brands Rolex, Hublot, and love-it-or-leave-it apex independent Greubel Forsey are never far. Here, I present an overview of all three watchmakers, why they inspire strong emotions, and why the positive case for all three outweighs the skepticism.
This podcast discusses the controversial 2021 Zenith Chronomaster Sport while putting the new chronograph in a historic perspective. There’s no denying that Zenith’s design team drew heavily on the current Rolex Daytona 116500LN. But this borrowing practice has a long history in Swiss watch design; the 1977 Vacheron Constantin 222 sports watch illustrates how a derivative design can become appreciated in its own right. Today’s episode also explores the difference between “independent” watchmakers such as Rolex and the “indies” such as F.P. Journe that are generally identified with modern independent horology.
