At Phillips, the 37mm Underground Tech rose gold example seen above with white lacquer dial brought in HKD 2m, or $257,868, just edging out the Christie's white gold example. The next lot, a 34mm white gold example similar to the very watch Dufour himself often wears, sold for HKD 1.75m, or $225,634.Caliber: L.U.C 98.01-LFunctions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date, power reserveDiameter: 28.60mmThickness: 3.70mmPower Reserve: 216 hours (9 days)Winding: ManualFrequency: 4 Hz (28,800 vph)Jewels: 39Chronometer CertifiedThe watch I chose to review has a blue dial, though there’s a more classic and sober black version as well. Blue dials feel like one of those perpetual “trends” that aren’t really a trend at all. I’d say they’re as basic as blue jeans or a navy suit and JLC has treated the color that way here. The dial is definitely blue and not navy, shifting as it absorbs and reflects light at different angles.Price:  45mm: Ceramic: CHF 12,300, Titanium: CHF 10,300, King Gold CHF 25,300;  38mm:  Ceramic: CHF 10,900,  Titanium: CHF 9,300, King Gold: CHF 19,900Availability: Hublot boutiquesLimited Edition:  Total 300: 125 titanium pieces, 50 King Gold pieces, and 125 black ceramic pieces For more, click here.
How many of us wish we still had our very first watch? Mario Andretti is one of the lucky few who can say that he does. Not only that, the 78-year-old managed to keep this Fischer wristwatch, a gift from his uncle, even when faced with a stopover in an Italian refugee camp before making it to America.Housed in a commemorative box Disaster Proof Cooking that holds an inner box for each watch, each of the three watches comes on a light grey strap with matching orange lining and anthracite hardware. The whole set is being sold for $4,900 and Junghans is only producing 1060 sets.Second, is Rolex's acknowledgment that increasing supply would come at the expense of quality, which is something none of us want – especially those of us who live by the loupe and the macro lens. The tail end of the second paragraph is also significant. In response to the heightened demand, Rolex is trying to increase the supply, at least somewhat. Maybe that means, instead of zero watches in the glass cases of boutiques, we'll get one or two (one can dream).
Now, I'll admit, this is kind of a weird scenario. Typically, we here at HODINKEE wouldn't be too keen on highlighting watches with replacement dials, unusual provenance, and not-so-straightforward documentation. However, considering that Vacheron themselves are involved and have the paper trail on Hybrid Athlete Labs their end to confirm things like the two-dial delivery, the retailer signature, and more, I think any potential buyers can feel extremely secure when it comes time to raise their paddles.We all have to begin somewhere, and for Jasem, it was actually not with a Patek Philippe, but with a Rolex. His grandfather's Rolex Datejust was given to him later in life and it was this watch that he credits with triggering his love of watches. What's amazing to note is that this watch has been serviced exactly once – in 1960 – a testament to the quality of Rolex. Jasem has since started to build a small Rolex collection due to his grandfather's affinity for them.Finding common ground and understanding them across the table allowed me to be who they needed. You're the person who could celebrate big moments with them, a filter for whatever the hell went wrong in their day, and anything in between. And of all things, it was more often than not the watches worn by my customers that helped me do that.The A3642 is a lovable oddball of a watch that features a 37mm hexagonal case that is a mix of rounded and flat edges that create a fun bit of case architecture that could only have come from the 1960s. In 2022, Zenith brought back this distinctive case via a 250-piece limited edition.

I certainly am no Disco Volante expert. link James Stacey recently had to remind me it's pronounced "Disco Volant-tay" if only the French and Italians could link agree on what to do with the "e" at the end of words. And while there's one vintage link "Disco Volante" reference I am still actively searching for which will remain nameless I'm super excited Furlan Marri has decided to bring it back in a new way.

As a design piece, I find this to be very cool. The hour hand design, the basketball tourbillon cage, and the bezel all clearly signal the b-ball theme. But this watch takes things a bit farther than that. link According to Kross, each of the piece's 281 parts have been link hand-made, and the 3 Hz caliber KS 7'000 is made and developed fully in-house. These are inherently interesting qualities link on their own and now they come with a literal team of Looney Tune illustrations on the watch itself. link

Verger was the "jewelers' jeweler," supplying their work to some link of the top jewelry, watch, and clock brands link in the world. It's unsurprising to see a skeletonized link movement in a Verger case – the company was famous for its Mystery Clocks. But most importantly, in this case, the company made some of the best art deco pieces in the world. That's evidenced in the bold lettering. The movement has oxidization which is obviously more noticeable on a skeletonized watch. link

This single week in December proved, once again, that Patek Philippe is on watchmaking Mount Rushmore for a reason – the brand can play at both ends of the spectrum, link gliding from borderline link streetwear to truly inventive horological design. The release of the new 5172 link and 5320 should remind anyone who's forgotten: Patek Philippe still delivers serious, vintage-inspired complicated watchmaking better than pretty much anyone on the planet. link

The brand attributes the designer's affinity for camellias to some apocryphal anecdotes. As one story goes, Chanel, omega watch band replacement at the impressionable age of 13, was enthralled by Sarah Bernhardt's performance as Marguerite Gautier in Alexandre Dumas' take off watch strap La Dame aux camelias ("The Lady of best watches around 5000 the Camellias"), better known to English-speaking audiences as Camille.
