By all accounts, it’s a fantastic watch. I love the styling and it even has an in-house motion made by the exceptionally talented Romain Gauthier.

Gorgeous, that is 1 word that I never thought I’d use to explain a Chanel watch.For readers who follow industry news closely, you’d likely know by now that Peter Speake-Marin is departing his brand new brand. The thing that many readers probably don’t know is that Peter has really ceased being involved in the company side of all the brand for a few decades now and also this announcement largely marks the end of his engagement with layout and observe growth. In fact, Peter has continually sold stakes of his firm over the last couple of years and his investor and partner, the Rosnoblet household, will now continue running the Speake-Marin brand. In this interview, Peter talks about leaving his brand and shares what he is up to next.Earlier in June, news emerged that Antiquorum, together with Monaco Legend Group, will be auctioning off a watch that they dubbed the “Patek Philippe Triple Complication – Vladimir Putin” on July 19th. The story goes that a essential and unidentified buyer bought the watch in a store in London and had every intention of gifting the watch to the Russian leader. So much so that the store recorded Putin’s full name “Mr. Vladimir Vladimirovic Putin” on the watch’s certificate of origin. On the other hand, the Kremlin has since denied any connection of Putin to this watch, leaving many to wonder about the validity of this link. So who is telling the truth? Does this view have anything to do with Putin at all?

Color choices are available for the straps as well, with both blue and black versions of each available.

Vacheron Constantin Patrimony 42

For most people, any thin wristwatch with a diameter under 38 mm that is fitted with an alligator strap is considered a dress watch and meant to be worn with a suit or in a formal setting. Well, since most people think that way, Vacheron Constantin decided to break the mold and created a larger case size for its Patrimony watch making it more suitable for everyone and for most occasions. While we can’t deny that this watch looks much better when paired with a suit or a tuxedo, we also can’t deny the fact that it also looks great while wearing a pair of jeans and sneakers.
