remember replica audemars piguet 15202stoo0944st02 mens watches Andersen Geneve from their affiliation with the Linde Werdelin SpidoLite
You guys may remember replica audemars piguet 15202stoo0944st02 mens watches Andersen Geneve from their affiliation with the Linde Werdelin SpidoLite. Svend Andersen is one of the founders of the AHCI, and a great independent watchmaker. As such, today's watch may surprise you, but something tells us it's going to be a popular one.Coming out of Antiquorum's Hong Kong sale is the Andersen Geneve Eros 138, nicknamed "At The President's Pleasure". On one side the white gold watch, you see President Clinton a speech at a podium in front of the White House. Flip the 42mm watch over and you see Slick Willy, cigar in mouth, war phone in hand "receiving the attention" of Monica Lewinsky (nice verbiage, Antiquorum!). The scene comes to life by turning the replica audemars piguet 15202stoo0944st02 mens watcheswinding crown clockwise, and pressing the button on the left hand side; while the winding of the watch is accomplished by turning it counter-clockwise. Painted with polychrome paint and put under sapphire glass, something tells us this watch will get you some attention at the next state dinner. Estimates for this rare Andersen Geneve "At The President's Pleasure" are $20,000 - $30,000. Click here for more details.BTW, the watch comes in a phallic shaped case, of course.
In the world of Rolex collecting, the one Tudor that has garnered the most attention throughout the years is the Monte Carlo chronograph. Good movement, Rolex finish, and unbelievably great looks. It is (very) affectionately known as the Poor Man's replica audemars piguet 15202stoo0944st02 mens watches Paul Newman Daytona. However, in this case, the poor man is still far more wealthy than most people in the world, as they fetch around $10,000 to this day.Leaked today is a modern day equivalent of the Tudor Monte Carlo, and it is an absolute knockout! In this words of an esteemed (nameless) colleague and authority, "the Tudor historic lines steals the show!". We tend to agree, when you look at the nice but completely expected and almost required refreshes of the Rolex Submariners and Explorer.This new Monte Carlo is replica audemars piguet 15202stoo0944st02 mens watches absolutely perfect, and it does the original a great service by imitating but not copying the looks that made it so famous. Sized at 42mm (perfect), this chronograph even has a rotating bezel and comes on a NATO strap!! Price is expected to be a totally reasonable 4000CHF. In our opinion, if Tudor is going to make a push into the US, this is the watch to lead the way.By the way, if you feel like picking up an original, we've got you covered. More pics after the jump.

Tissot Moto GP TI001 watches announced to the public
We spoke about the FROG when it was Tissot Moto GP TI001 watches announced to the public and while we were lucky enough to catch a sneak peek at it in Basel, we now consider ourselves truly familiar with this playful creation. While the most impressive features of the FROG are certainly the concentric domes (the inner made of .28 mm thin aluminum, the outer made of sapphire crystal), what was most surprising to us about the FROG was its weight, or really lack there of. These watches are made of titanium, and incredibly light, despite their fairly expansive size on the wrist. Also interesting to us is that about 25% of the Tissot Moto GP TI001 watches movement of the FROG differs from the original HM3. In the video below, you can see MB&F Founder and Chief Creative Officer Maximilian Büsser explain the inspiration for the FROG, what it took to build it, and how it operates. We needn't remind you that the FROG is the currently the hottest watch on planet earth....until HM4 comes out this summer, that is.
Few brands make news when they release images of a new watch, let Tissot Moto GP TI001 watches alone just some images of the movement. MB&F, however, happens to be one that does. At this point, you have seen the HM1, the HM2, and the HM3, and in high-definition, we might add. Today, however, we get a glimpse at the very next Horological Machine, the HM4 or "Thunderbolt". Again, this isn't a pre-release of the watch, but rather just the movement, but if you look below, you'll see why it's worthy of a post.The actual Thunderbolt will be released later this summer, and don't click here because we don't have any place to link to. For now, just sit and revel in the possibilities of what the Tissot Moto GP TI001 watches fourth installment of the Maximilian Busser and Friends what bring us.This past week, we were lucky enough to spend some time with the fine gentlemen behind MB&F. They were in our fair city to show off their latest creation, a funky and fresh take on haute horology, the amphibiously named HM3 "FROG".
