The Luxury Watch Blog

When Luxury Watches are manufactured there are many things associated with cost.

1. Research and Development

All watches have complex movements some that are on the cutting edge of technology.

There are different types of movement and all are very complex. These movement have precious stones (Ruby’s etc..) in them

some are made of precious medals. The manufacturing process is very complex because they need to be very small and very complex and therefore require special machinery. There are a few unique watches that stand out with the complexity of their movements and therefore are very expensive. However all watches hold complex movements.

Valjoux 7750 chronograph, I got a rather prestigious watch with a top shelf Ebel 137 movement. Based on the rare Lemania 1351, it is used in only a few other brands; Brequet being the only one I can think of.

Functionally, this is the perfect chronograph. Collecting many, I never thought I’d actually see one. Everything functions perfectly. No rotational eccentricity of the minute hand, i.e. the position of the constant seconds hand is coordinated with the movement of the main minute hand, for ALL 60 minute chapters. Same is true of all the chronograph hands, including perfect coordination positioning of the elapsed minute/hour hands; very rare. Also, on reset, all go to straight up 12. This is not your typical mechanical chronograph. A certified chronometer, its at -1.4 s/d when worn 23+ hours per day over a 30 consecutive day period.

The Seiko Sumo is one of those watches that is so impressive any complaints or design preferences are just minor wishes. I wish it looked more like this, etc. Considering the cost of the watch I can honestly say you will not find another watch as well made with as much bang for the buck as this watch has. This is one of those rare cases where you ask how can they do it? I will try to give a brief review of the Sumo and it differences and similarities to its $1200 more expensive brother. If you like dive watches and yu do not own it yet all I can say is why?

The Sumo has many style similarities to the MM and also many diferences. The styling differences I mostly like better on the MM. For example the dial is the same except for the hands and markers. The dial is the same. The markers are silver and luminous is painted perfectly on top which resembles the large filled or encased MM markers. I prefer the MM markers but the Sumo does have a very nice look. The hands of the MM are simply awesome and unique. The hands on the Sumo are very big and I think larger than the MM which makes reading the watch very easy. Also the luminous fill on the hands is perfect. I have had many watches (Seiko’s included) where the fill is not even and there are dark spots or lines. This is not so with the Sumo. The Lume is awesome. The flat black dial is very nice and again akin to the MM with less writing which I prefer.

Luxury Swiss watch company Jaeger-LeCoultre—in partnership with actor and activist Leonardo DiCaprio—has created its “Time to Care” program, to benefit the Leonardo DiCaprio Fund at the California Community Foundation.

The fund-raising focal point of the initiative will be the sale of two timepieces in the fall of 2008. Both will be the first of a limited series of watches that feature technology never used before, Jaeger-LeCoultre said in a statement. All proceeds will go to the Leonardo DiCaprio Fund at the CCF in order to further its work with environmental programs worldwide. The watches will be presented exclusively at the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Boutiques in Boca Raton and Beverly Hills, scheduled to open summer and fall of this year, respectively.

Initial Impressions

When the watch first arrived from Debaufre in their usual priority mail box. The watch was very well packaged and shipped. They include the customary Debaufre Red/Black presentation box, warranty card and paperwork. The presentation box is very nice and one to hang on to.

When I took it out, the first thing I said was “WOW, This thing is BIG!”. The reason they call it the Magnum 44 is that its 44mm across the case, not including the crown.

Cufflinks are no longer the standard, but that’s exactly the point. By accessorizing with cufflinks, you will come across as a classy businessman. As far as designs go, there are many to choose from, like the classic cufflink, the creased ball cufflink and the knotted cufflink.

French cuffs without cuff links

Since it’s not necessary to wear most dress shirts with cuff links, many men seem to be unaware that shirts with French cuffs actually do need to be accompanied by cuff links. Essentially, French cuffs without cuff links are like a Playboy without the centerfold. If you have a shirt with French cuffs, cuff links are really the icing on the cake and will enhance your appearance by making you seem more presentable and smartly turned out. As well, since French-cuffed shirts are generally worn on more formal occasions, or at least in a business environment, the purpose of wearing such a shirt is to look polished — a feat that is hard to accomplish when your sleeves are flapping about.
