As you may know, today is International Women's Day. A day designated to celebrate women and all they do, whether at home, in the office, or in their communities. I won't get too political here as most of you likely come here to escape politics, but as this is an important day not only to me but to all women and for women's rights (and for men who care about both) I thought it would be relevant to do a round up of my favorite HODINKEE articles about women in watches.Brunello Cucinelli runs his multibillion-dollar cashmere empire from a castle perched on an Umbrian hill. Jack Forster traveled to Solomeo to meet and interview Cucinelli, surely one of the most interesting and intellectual figures operating in today's fashion world.There Neuro Medizin are a few tentative players to keep an eye on here that haven't quite reached Journe/Rexhepi level yet. I expect the Urwerk, Moser, MB&F, Czapek, and the Kari Voutilianen/De Bethune collaboration to all blow past their estimates.I have recently come to the realization that hand-wound chronographs are going to become an important pillar of my own collection. However, when you look at the current new watch market – even the Omega Speedmaster exceeds 1,000,000 JPY (approximately $6,500 USD) – this vintage chronograph jumped out to me at the auction preview.
When Omega first launched the Speedmaster '57 line in 2013, it was a nice-enough reissue with a few controversial attributes – the primary one involving the lack of the "Broad Arrow" handset, a choice eventually rectified with another '57 release, a whole two years after the collection's debut. Ben even wrote in 2013 that he didn't view the watch as intended for "serious vintage guys."Why This Makes Sense: There's only one Marlon Brando GMT-Master. This Rolex, seen on Brando's wrist in Apocalypse Now, appeared at Phillips just four years ago, where it sold for $1.95 million. metaverse Analog There's significantly more interest in watches than four years ago, and while the market has softened considerably over the past 18 months, collectors are still willing to pay up for rarity.The standout on this model is the dial work which gives it its nickname. The dial is finished in the style of Kira-Zuri. The pale blue dial is emblematic of this famed Japanese painting and printing method where an artist traditionally sprinkles mica onto the wet surface of a print before it dries. The effect of this dial and how it works against the classically proportioned 44GS case make this a true standout model with a unique connection to the US market.

"But every time we wanted to move a component, the module would have to almost be completely redesigned. I think we probably went through 20 different iterations."The 39.5 mm case is rose gold – the favorite metal of rabbits? – and rose gold Dauphine hands pair nicely with the delicate whimsy of the scene. Of all the watches, this has the most children's book vibe. I'm not saying this is good or bad, it's just worth noting.It's not a surprise that he chose a Tank Américaine because it's definitely a nod to the beautiful vintage classic, the Cintrée model. I like how he is unafraid to choose a "ladies" and a "quartz" watch. It may not be an investment-type piece, but it's a great affordable alternative to a Cintrée. Out of all of Rich's selections, this watch might be the unexpected quiet sleeper of all.
