Hot List: November 27, 2024
We hope your Thanksgiving had plenty of the traditional 4Fs: family, friends, food, and football. Now we can perhaps entice you with a 5th: Feldmar! For this one day only, we had special discounts on ALL our pre-owned inventory. How were we able to do this? Well, Scott, as you can see from the above photo, was out shopping himself, so we took the liberty of marking down these pieces ourselves. We hope you grabbed one of these great once-in-a-year deals while you could!
BLANCPAIN BATHYSCAPHE QUANTIÈME COMPLET PHASES DE LUNE
According to our friends at Blancpain, “the reproduction of lunar cycles on the dial of the complete calendar watches evokes the ancestral links between watchmaking and astronomy.” We just love the face of the guy on the moon. Looks like he might have eaten too much turkey!
ROLEX GMT MASTER
No guarantees that by the time you read this email this unique Rolex will still be available, but if it is, know that you will have the opportunity to own a unique piece of watchmaking history at a great price. The GMT really needs no description!
GRAND SEIKO ELEGANCE GMT
Here we have a GMT watch of another stripe, this core timepiece from the Elegance Collection, SGM221 is a true classic inspired by Japanese Ikebana arrangements. The dial features multi-faceted hands and hour markers that sparkle, even in dim light. Also of note, this is a fairly rare “double-stamp” Grand Seiko with both its stamp and “Seiko” on the dial.
CARTIER TANK MUST XL
If you happened to watch the show Presumed Innocent earlier this year, you may have noticed that this is the watch that Jake Gyllenhaal’s character is wearing. Except he probably didn’t get such a great deal on this Cartier classic with a Quick Release strap that allows you to change the look of the watch in seconds.
ZENITH DEFY CLASSIC SKELETON
Zenith is the rare watch brand known almost as much for it’s design prowess as it’s technical sophistication. Here, housed within a futuristic DEFY case, the open dial of this Classic Skeleton takes on an angular star motif, which reveals the Elite automatic manufacture movement within.
IWC PORTOFINO PERPETUAL CALENDAR
Buy this watch, and you wont have to reset it until Black Friday 2100. The moon phase won’t need a tweak until the year 2601. It’s doubtful there will still be Black Friday by then. Or maybe we’ll still be shopping but only for our AI overlords…
BREGUET MARINE 40MM
In 1815, A.-L. Breguet became watchmaker to the French Royal Navy. Scott became the second. These classic, yet study watches feature central lugs and integrated straps. In order to ensure greater legibility, during the day and at night, the hands and various indications have a bright luminescence you have to see in person to believe.
JAEGER-LECOULTRE MASTER COMPRESSOR GEOGRAPHIC
The JLC Master Control Geographic in rose gold has some really novel features. JLC uses a ‘compressor’ system to make these watches water resistant and, in the case of the Geographic, two secured crowns are used to set the desired timezones. This is definitely a watch you will want to toy with after you’ve shown it off to your friends.
ULYSSE NARDIN FREAK X ICE
In 2020, UN heated things up with the release of the Freak X Magma. Fortunately, they honored the Second Law of Thermodynamics by simultaneously releasing the all-white Freak X Ice, thus ensuring perfect equilibrium in the world of watches. With it’s all-monochrome look, it’s a sight to behold! 🤍🤍
