Their chronographs of the 1930s and 1940s represent the pinnacle of chronograph production. This excellence in timekeeping is typified in the minds of collectors by the 13ZN. Released in 1936, the 13ZN was the first chronograph wristwatch to feature a flyback function, which allows the wearer to reset the chronograph without having to stop it first. Upon its release, the 13ZN became a favorite among aviators, who used the feature for navigation, and has gained something of a cult status among modern collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut while the 13ZN has certainly gained a respectable following, there are other early chronographs by Longines that deserve consideration--not just because of their rarity. They, like the 13ZN, represent an era when achievements in horology reached their zenith, marrying traditional designs with the cutting-edge technology of the day. The Longines monopusher or chronostop combines two elements that Longines did well, yet rarely put together: a central-minutes counter and a single pusher.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe single or monopusher chronograph is a holdover from the days when watches were carried in the pocket, not worn on the wrist. The origin of the chronograph in pocket watches is disputed, but it's known that master French watchmaker, Louis Moinet, produced a stopwatch-like timepiece in 1816. These early pocket-bound chronographs all bore a single pusher that starts, stops, and resets the chronograph function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLongines bears the distinction of producing the first chronograph wristwatch in 1913. This watch carried within its modest 29mm case the Calibre 13.33Z, precursor to the celebrated 13ZN. Longines capitalized on this innovation two decades later with the development of the flyback chronograph in 1936. Without the addition of another pusher to reset the chronograph, the chronograph simply could not be reset without stopping it first--until the flyback chronograph made that a reality. Prices on these early 13ZN chronographs have climbed into the stratosphere, and furor to find and own one has reached such a fever pitch that a collector in search of a vintage chronograph from Longines may throw up their hands and look no further... and yet. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the 13ZN was gaining a following among aviators, Longines also had another chronograph movement in its arsenal. The Calibre 12.86Z, based on the Calibre 12L, debuted around the same time as the 13ZN, if not shortly after, and can be found in Longines watches from the 1940s on. A monopusher chronograph movement, the 12.86Z — like the 13ZN — also features a flyback mechanism, but also has a central minutes counter in blued steel addition to the central seconds hand and sub-register at 6 o'clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design, similar to the Omega Chronostop, is perfect for timing multiple events at once. While more primitive and perhaps not as utilitarian as the more popular double pusher system (which Breitling developed in 1934), the Longines monopusher chronograph — or chronostop — is certainly attractive, and rare to find in great condition as the one we have here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece features a 32.5mm stainless steel case, a correct unsigned crown, single pusher at 2 o'clock and a white dial that has patinated to a creamy tone. The dial features printed Arabic indices, a matching blued-steel handset, a subsidiary seconds display at 6 o'clock and a tachymeter scale bordering the dial's periphery. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Longines Chronostop is a fantastic call-back to the watches we started offering over 10 years ago, so seeing one grace the website makes us a bit nostalgic.

However, some were more innovative than others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake this exquisite piece from Piaget, specialists in ultra-thin watchmaking: seamlessly machined such that there’s no perceivable break from watch head to bracelet, it’s as much akin to a piece of jewelry as it is to a more traditional wristwatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoused in a 20mm 18K yellow gold case set with diamonds, this piece has an integrated two bracelet with alternating gold and diamond links. This Polo has a diamond and gold two-tone dial with a matching 'dauphine' handset, a sapphire crystal, and an entirely handy quartz movement within. Notably, the pattern of the bracelet seamlessly continues straight through the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImagine the looks of curiosity — and envy — that you’ll stir up when rocking this bold Piaget at a cocktail party. With its eye-catching design, fascinating dial, and awesome bracelet, this is a standout timepiece appropriate for virtually any wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece could easily be mistaken for a bracelet with the design carrying straight onto the dial. That’s really part of the charm of so many of Piaget’s late 20th century watch designs. While these pieces went underappreciated for many years, we have recently seen a well-deserved surge in interest for these avant-garde designs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Piaget","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41315329245271,"sku":"40992167","price":15770.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS10117_40992167_PIAGET_LADIESGOLDDIASET_15201K515-6_cdae762c-f24f-4371-8ce8-6a0d5b5898db.jpg?v=1730513251"},{"product_id":"cartier-ellipse-as10099","title":"Cartier Ellipse","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo, it’s not a Tank.

The definitive expert on timepiece design, the French \u003cem\u003emaison \u003c\/em\u003ehas always been a leader in challenging conventional approaches while pioneering new styling as a fixture in the broader fashion world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew watches have played a larger role in solidifying this brand identity than the Tank. Undoubtedly the most iconic watch in Cartier’s history and conceived based on a simple idea, it’s evolved to take myriad forms over the years, with over a dozen sub-designs that each has its own identity and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced in 1917 based on the conception of Louis Cartier, the great-grandson of Cartier’s founder, the Tank took inspiration from a French military tank from the First World War, the Renault FT-17. Its look was striking and revolutionary: rectangular and unconventional for the period, it was also one of the earliest wristwatches to be popularly accepted within the broader men's fashion space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 1917, Cartier saw a surge in interest in its unique watches and more and more Cartier Tank models were born, building on the underlying design philosophy that made the model an initial success in the 1910s. The Tank Cintrée was introduced in 1921, the Louis and Chinoise in 1922, the Basculante in 1933, the Asymetrique in 1936, and so on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile each model has its own unique personality, the Tank Cintrée is possibly the most romantic. With its cambered case, elongated, dramatic dial style, and unique ability to hug the wrist, it has a special personality that is incredibly alluring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular Tank Cintrée is a stunning yellow-gold example. At roughly 20mm in diameter, the proportions of this 18K yellow gold-case watch might strike one as being on the smaller side — but its curved architecture, elongated lugs, and matching yellow gold integrated-style beads-of-rice bracelet mean that it will accommodate a much larger wrist. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoasting a sapphire cabochon crown and \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ea smooth bezel in the form of the model's long \u003cem\u003ebrancards, \u003c\/em\u003eit features a gorgeous white dial with printed black 'Roman' indices, an inner 'railroad' minute track, and a black 'sword' handset.

(Cartier took the look of the Renault tank's treads and applied it to the lugs, which were integrated via brancards into the case itself.) That first run of six pieces increased to thirty-three by 1920, and by the end of the 20th century, that number stood well in the thousands.

This complication stems from the unique challenges associated with racing on water. Unlike during race on dry ground, in a regatta, boats are unable to start a race from a dead stop — short of anchoring, there's no way for them to be perfectly still. At the start of a regatta, yachts are jockeying for position behind a starting buoy for 10 minutes before the starting gun goes off, when a countdown begins and the competing vessels launch past the start line 10 minutes later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis watch, the Memosail, was the answer to the popular Felsa regatta timer movement found in watches retailed by Aquastar. It's powered by a modified, manually-wound Valjoux Calibre 7733, a popular base caliber found in many chronographs of the time. The particular variation contained in this watch, known as a Valjoux 7737, features a rotating disc viewed through a partially open dial that digitally counts down 10 minutes, reading “START” when the countdown is complete. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe Memosail regatta timer used three different cases. The first, produced from 1972 to 1975, was a round chrome-plated case. The second and third versions featured a square case, and only the latest versions featured a solid stainless steel case.

After the release of the Tank, the watch space was changed forever. Introduced in 1917 based on the conception of Louis Cartier, the great grandson of Cartier’s founder, the Tank took inspiration from a French military tank from the First World War— the Renault FT-17. The look of the Tank was striking and revolutionary— rectangular and unconventional for the period, the Tank was also one of the earliest wrist watches to be popularly accepted by the broader fashion space. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter 1917, Cartier saw a surge in interest in its unique watches, and more and more Cartier Tank models were born, building on the underlying design philosophy that made the Tank an initial success in the 1910s.

(This same watch was later listed for sale by noted dealer HQ Milton for $350,000.) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular 7923 is in handsome condition considering its age of roughly 70 years: Housed in a 37mm stainless steel case with an acrylic crystal; a small signed 'Brevet' crown with the Rolex coronet; and a bidirectional bezel with an intact black aluminum insert with 10-minute 'Arabic' and five-minute 'dash' markings, it features a black 'gilt' dial with an outer open minute track; luminous triangular, rectangular, and circular indices; the Tudor 'Rose' logo with \"Tudor Oyster\" written beneath 12 o'clock; \"100\/330\" depth rating text in red; \"Submariner\" and \"Shock-Resisting\" in gilt printing; and a luminous 'pencil' handset with small 'lollipop' seconds hand. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough there is some degradation to the radium throughout the dial, the luminous material remains largely intact — a testament, to be sure, to the watch's design and to Tudor's quality control in the mid-1950s. Housed within the watch is the manually-wound \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eETA Calibre 1182, which beats at 18,000 vibrations per hour. This hand-wound movement keeps the case comparatively thin and turns the Ref. 7923 into an excellent daily driver. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEquipped with heavy-duty spring bars, we've paired it to a thick leather strap with tone-on-tone stitching and a stainless steel pin buckle for a more formal look.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile any mode of 1950s-era Tudor Submariner is a rare bird, indeed, this Ref. 7923 is something different entirely: Manually-wound, svelte, and exceedingly scarce with its red depth rating, it's a museum-quality watch the likes of which the collector community only sees a few times in — well — a lifetime.

The implementation of mass production and interchangeable parts assured American supremacy. Brands such as Gruen, Elgin, and Hamilton vied against the Swiss to dominate the watch industry. The latter, in particular, was at the top of its game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifically, the development of railroad chronometers gave Hamilton a reputation for accuracy and dependability in an age where these qualities were vital in a watch.\u003cbr\u003eBut the brand's production did not rest on railroad chronometers alone: Between the 1920s and 1930s and the 1950s the Lancaster, PA-based company released a dizzying array of designs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Thin-O-Matic ref. T403, produced in the early 1960s, is one of the brand's most desirable watches. Distinctive for its 'shark fin' lugs, the T403 utilizes a micro-rotor movement to produce an exceptionally thin profile. The unique design is paired with a sleek dial display that captures the mid-century aesthetics for which many of Hamilton's watches are most prized. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage Hamiltons are having a moment of comeback in the last handful of years, and this piece is one of the most collectable in their archive.
