Designed in concert with Ferdinand A.

Named for the excitement coming with the new millennium on the horizon at the time of its launch, the collection came to reflect a dreamy, aspirational, forward-looking philosophy. Known for its oval, stretched case shape, the Millenary never caught on in the mainstream. Instead, a discerning group of collectors has come to appreciate the off-the-beaten-path charm this piece has. In many respects, the Millenary line is the polar foil to the Royal Oak. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Millenary Philosophique takes this theme to its natural extreme.

Intrigue continues with the gorgeous blue dial which has been scalloped and grained in a complex, yet beautiful way making it one of the most subtly-striking dials on the market. The 18K white gold case has been hand hammered to produce a frosted finish almost giving the case a gem set look, but in actuality, it’s merely achieved by hammering the smooth surface to produce a textured sandpaper-like finish. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eContained within the oblong case is the Calibre 3135, an extremely robust automatic winding movement found in many of AP’s Royal Oak models.

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. 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\/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 Tank an initial success in the 1910s.

Bittel said Patek Philippe needed a symbol for the brand— something that would capture the classic Patek aesthetic and come to represent the brand.

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.

Alberto quickly made significant breakthroughs in the history of early flight, including manning the very first publicly viewed manned flight in Europe. Santos-Dumont’s high profile, daring missions put him in company with some of the most prominent personalities of France, including Louis Cartier. Cartier and Santos-Dumont’s friendship blossomed from mutual respect for innovation, creativity, and legacy. In 1904, Louis Cartier gave Santos-Dumont a special watch, designed to be worn on the wrist— a novel concept at the time. The primitive, sturdy square watch was essentially the first true sports watch. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe so-called Cartier Santos was as daring a creation as Santos-Dumont’s missions.

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-tank-louis-as10118","title":"Cartier Tank Louis","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/pages\/preowned-and-vintage-cartier-watches\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCartier\u003c\/a\u003e is responsible for some of the most recognizable and successful wristwatches in the history of modern horology.

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. After the release of the Tank, the watch space was changed forever. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\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. 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\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter 1917, Cartier saw a surge in interest for 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. 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\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile each model has its own unique personality, the Tank Louis is the quintessential configuration, and is truly the face of the Tank collection. The rounded, polished brancards, blue sapphire \u003cem\u003ecabochon\u003c\/em\u003e, beautiful Roman numerals, 'railroad' minute track, and blued steel hands have not only come to personify the Tank, but Cartier’s identity as a watchmaker.
