Hot List: September 27, 2024
After careful research, we’ve concluded there’s only one thing hotter than the Feldmar Hot List: Moo Deng the baby hippopotamus. Just when you thought the hype around the internet’s favorite pygmy hippo had peaked, we’re enlisting Moo Deng’s help to run through this week’s hottest watches!
PARMIGIANI FLEURIER TONDA PF GMT RATTRAPANTE
Now you see it… now you don’t! The rarely-seen rattrapante complication is center-stage on the Parmigiani Tonda PF. With a simple push of a button, the golden GMT hand snaps into alignment with the hour hand, hiding until it’s needed again.
OMEGA CONSTELLATION METEORITE 41MM
And here we thought Moo Deng was the golden child…. Omega’s stunning meteorite-dial Constellation comes in an all-gold package that’s got us head over heels! With its solid Moonshine gold case and bracelet, this is one hefty piece, weighing in at over half a pound!
BELL & ROSS BR-X5 RACING
Let’s face it: chubby little Moo Deng won’t be setting speed records anytime soon. On the other hand, the lightweight BR-X5 Racing from Bell & Ross blends titanium and carbon fiber with eye-catching dial design to inspire speed!
GIRARD-PERREGAUX BRIDGES NEO CONSTANT ESCAPEMENT
Watchmaking wouldn’t be what it is today without the high-tech kit developed by GP! Launched at Feldmar in 2023, the Neo Constant Escapement is a cornucopia of groundbreaking technology⚙️ Read more about this marvel of engineering and what makes it tick over on our blog!
MÜHLE GLASHÜTTE 29ER BIG
Tiny newborn hippos from Thailand ain’t the only new kids on the block! This week, we completely refreshed our inventory of watches from Mühle Glashütte, welcoming new references to the showcase including this modern cream-dialed 29er! Check out our full collection!
NORQAIN INDEPENDENCE SKELETON CHRONOGRAPH
NORQAIN has a style all its own! From the DLC titanium case to the purple color-matched integrated strap, the newest member of the Independence family is making a statement. Add in a manufacture caliber chronograph movement, and this Chronometer-certified skeleton is highly impressive!
BREITLING CHRONOMAT B01 NFL EDITION: RAIDERS & 49ERS
While the Raiders and 49ers weren’t quite able to find the endzone enough in Week 3, we’re swooping in to ease the pain with the newest limited edition Chronomats! Available on the famous Rouleaux bracelet or black rubberized strap, these are timepieces for true fans!
IWC PORTUGIESER CHRONOGRAPH
With vertically arranged subdials and brilliantly applied numerals, the newest members of the collection are hot! The novel dial layout of IWC’s performance dress watch breathes new list into a classic. Red gold and black combine for a warm golden glow that we can’t take our eyes off of! Available now at Feldmar.
ARNOLD & SON LUNA MAGNA
A circle is nature’s perfect shape… just ask the very rotund Moo Deng. The Arnold & Son Luna Magna leans into this principle, highlighting the elegance of the moon’s geometry. With a moonphase indicator on both the back and the front, this is a celebration of space!
LONGINES LEGEND DIVER 39MM
While hippos like Moo Deng are right at home in the water, their 5M depth-ratings aren’t too impressive. With 300 meters of water-resistance and 72-hour power reserve, the new 39mm Legend Divers from Longines not only offer high-performance but look good while doing it!
BULOVA LUNAR PILOT
Fun fact: Moo Deng translates to “Bouncy Pork”! While we’re not quite sure what to do with that information, there’s a (very) tenuous connection to the way Bulova’s Caliber 262 kHz quartz movement operates. Bouncing along at two beats per second, this is a high-frequency classic in an all new colorway!
TISSOT T-SPORT PR516 CHRONOGRAPH
Tissot has changed the mechanical chronograph game, bringing an affordable option to collectors interested in one of the most useful complications around! Hand-winding chronographs aren’t that common, and even rarer at this price-point. Mix in some great styling and this is a watch that does it all!
