Moonphase Monday - The Royale Saphir

From Pequignet -

This one is very limited (10 pieces only) and  definitely belongs in the "Go Big, or Go Home" category.  Pequignet makes a lot of beautiful, classic watches with more traditional moon phase functions. But this one embraces a more modern design aesthetic without losing its "Pequignet sais quoi". The case is of Rose Gold 5N, and the movement is Pequignet's Calibre Royal EPM01 which boasts a very impressive 88 hours of power reserve. Hours, minutes, seconds (via sub-dial at 4 o'clock), day, date and a seductively designed moon phase indicator at 6 o'clock.

This fascinating time machine can be purchased from the team at Grenon's in Rhode Island who (and yes, I am biased) are the perfect representatives for Pequignet here in the US. For those of you outside of the lower 48, you can contact your local/regional retail partner or contact Pequignet directly.

Where Have You Been All My Life?

That is a question now firmly on my lips.

A Rose Gold SpidoSpeed from Linde Werdelin

This is the latest from Linde Werdelin - a SpidoSpeed conceived of rose gold.  As we have come to expect from Linde Werdelin, this is a watch that does more than tell the time.  It speaks on a truly emotional level.  As has often been said when looking at an amazing piece of architecture, you realize that even a brick wants to be more!  For the SpidoSpeed we can say that even a watch case wants to be more.

And here in their own words -

Much of the detailing and construction of the SpidoSpeed bear references from the racing car industry. It is designed with a complex fully skeletonised case and multiple-layered dial structure to bring you an all-round 3-dimensional experience.

Powered by an upscale bespoke chronograph movement, this model comes with a SpidoSpeed black alligator strap and an ardillion buckle in solid rose gold. Only 100 pieces in Series A are available worldwide.
