Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Traditionnelle WorldTime

I kicked off the start of this week by taking a quick look at the new Capeland Worldtimer from Baume et Mercier, a handsome multi time-zone watch that gets the job done without breaking the bank. A number of conversations (online and offline) ensued as result and it was during one of these that someone pointed out to me that you can’t really talk about Worldtimers without bringing Vacheron Constantin’s Patrimony Traditionnelle Worldtime into the discussion.

At Baselworld earlier this year URWERK unveiled what I can only describe as the most aggressive looking UR-110 to date, the striking UR-110PTH. Characterised by the bold use of red across the futuristic dial, this new watch is the very definition of eye-catching.

Baume et Mercier Capeland Worldtimer

I’ve written before of the importance of having a good quality world-timer in your collection, especially for the frequent traveler (or at the very least those that would like to give that impression.)

One of the pleasantly unexpected options I found is the new Capeland Worldtimer from Baume & Mercier.

Fortunately the good people over at Parmigiani Fleurier have got us covered, unveiling their new Ovale Pantographe timepiece earlier this week complete with distinctive telescopic hands that extend and retract as they sweep the oval shaped dial.

Patek Philippe Ref 5004T

Earlier this week I posted our first article on the 2013 edition of the Only Watch auction, taking a closer look at the highly imaginative X-TREM-1 Pinball from Christophe Claret. Today I’m turning the spotlight on my other favorite entrant this year, Patek Philippe, and their very special Ref 5004T. Although not as colorful or as playful as Claret’s entry, the unique appeal of this timepiece is bound to get collectors everywhere scrambling for their wallets, which is precisely the point of a charity auction.
