Some exciting news. I’ll be posting some vintage watches from my collection that will be auctioned soon. Once live I’ll post a link here. Feel free to make an offer pre-auction but don’t ask prices please. *This is a museum worthy piece! A 1969-72 Zodiac Chronograph with famed Caliber/Calibre 11 automatic movement, see second photo.

One of the coolest vintage LCD watches ever produced. The Ford RS Split Lap Unit 77 chronograph, designed and produced by Heuer in the mid-seventies using the Calibre 103 movement. So many of these didn’t survive many decades later and just a few exist in this complete of a kit. The highlight is the technologically advanced liquid crystal Ford logo displayed on the upper lap chronograph. The reason I wanted this more than any of the other vintage Heuer Chronosplit digital watches is the angular case design allowing the display tilt towards the driver wearing the watch. To me, this shape also foreshadowed the boxy automobile designs of the coming eighties.

1970 Swiss Royce ‘Mexico’ World Cup mechanical watch. Came in a variety of colors but are very rare as many didn’t survive.

1960s Swiss Mortima temperature and compass mechanical watch. Maybe the earliest smartwatch?

1975 Hudson Digitrend prism jumping hour watch. Typically branded Amida, this Hudson is quite rare. Summed up, the two discs have numbers printed in reverse and a sideview display corrects them through a prism for a LRD (light reflecting display) on the side of your wrist without turning while driving.

Famed French industrial designer Roger Tallon’s 1975 masterpiece, the LIP Mach 2000 Chronograph. Manual winding Swiss Valjoux 7734 mechanical movement, original rubber strap, multi color pushers and crown and highly distinguishable asymmetric case.

Unusually cool asymmetric 1970s Swiss Candino Masternove automatic watch.

Not getting enough daylight, time to let someone else enjoy it. Urwerk 103.09 with custom strap and original strap & box. Hardly ever worn, serious interest, DM me.

1974 French LIP ‘Skipper’ designed by Marc Held. LIP T13 movement, Ref. 43319, original reptile strap

A rare limited edition of only 500 drivers watches circa 1999.

1969 Hamilton Dateline TM-5903 with Buren-made micro-rotor automatic was one of the first Swiss Made watches by Hamilton. The coolest features are the unusually long linear markers laid out horizontally as well as the porthole date window cut from the case below the display. The micro-rotor allowed this automatic to be in a very thin case and another version was made from solid 18k white gold.

Top posts of 2023. Lots of brushed steel, vintage light emitting diodes, jumping hours and minimalist analog watches.

Early seventies Westclox Quartzmatic watch.

The late 1960s Biostar (ref. #7304-05) is a timepiece that tracks and displays “biorhythms”: a pseudoscientific theory of physical, emotional, and mental cycles lasting 23, 28, and 33 days, respectively. While biorhythms might be make-believe, the manual mechanical movement is anything but.
