ONSA Mayflower, odważny i piękny Szwajcar.
Dziś o pięknym zegarku z piękna historią.
Mayflower to statek który w 1957 wypłynął z Plymouth w Anglii do Plymouth w USA, w stanie Massachusetts. Na pokładzie miał cztery zegarki szwajcarskiej manufaktury Onsa, które były tam wnikliwie testowane. Wszystkie cztery egzemplarze pomyślnie przeszły testy.
Oto ślad historyczny:

My 7149 from 1976. Hard to find the perfect strap. Maybe I should just attach the Oyster bracelet instead. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_4Dt_clvCg/?igshid=1p1rlncufwm0e
Racing strap would look good!

Patek Philippe ref.1503
It is incredible how much charisma and personality can be found in a 35mm wristwatch. Introduced in 1941, the reference 1503 is a rare treasure within the Patek Philippe collection as it was produced for a short period (until the early 1950s), and only in stainless steel or stainless steel with gold tear drop lugs and crown. The present reference 1503, soon to be offered during The Geneva Watch Auction: TEN stands out in its own right with its very attractive two-tone dial. #GWA10

#TGIF with this unique and extremely rare Roger Dubuis Excalibur Knights of the Round Table with engraved and sculpted 18k gold miniature Knights and enamel dial cased in bronze from our Hong Kong 27th May Important Watches auction . This special order watch is quite different to the standard version of the model. In particular, the case is uniquely made of bronze instead of gold to make the watch lighter and the bronze will naturally age and change giving it an even more unique look. A screw down crown is fitted for water resistance and an additional rubber strap provided for aquatic persuits. The red ring around the perimeter of the dial adds focus to draw the eye to the 12 engraved and sculpted 18K gold miniature knights as do the red and green enamel segments of the dial which are beloved colours to the Chinese. #Christieswatches

Sports Auction (May 27): The Patek Philippe reference 1415HU (Heures Universelles or World Time) was a ground breaking timepieces as it took Louis Cottier’s genius invention and miniaturized it into a wristwatch, two years only after having launched its first world time pocket watch. Reference 1415 was introduced in 1939 and remained in production only until 1954 approximately. The hour and minute hands of the present watch display local time in the middle of the dial. Surrounding it are two fascinating rings, the outer ring with the names of metropolises that stand for the time zones of the world, the inner ring with a 24-hour scale featuring a brighter part for the daytime hours and a darker one for the nocturnal hours. Beautiful and extremely useful, the world time mechanism was a significant breakthrough in the history of horology. Indeed, Patek Philippe advertisements from the period marketed world time watches to those "whose interests go beyond the horizon”. The present example actually features a very rare bezel variation, with the Chinese capital spelt with a very unusual “Peiping” rather than the common “Peking”. This is a rare chance for any watch collectors to possess a piece that represents horological finesse at its best.

- Rolex introduced the references 6263 and 6265 in 1969 as the successors to the first Oyster Cosmograph, the reference 6240. These upgraded tool watches came with new screw down pushers, an upgraded crown and movement - the caliber 727 - and offered enhanced water resistance to 50 meters. Preserved in excellent condition, this reference 6263 displays a stunning dial that has changed over time from black to a harmonious and rich chocolate brown tone contrasting against the white graphics. It is remarkable how the dial has aged in such an even manner. Furthermore, the case is preserved in stunning condition, with sharp satin finishes on top of the lugs and crisp edges. A second-generation example, it is fitted with original Mk 2 pushers and features a ‘three-liner’ dial displaying “Rolex Oyster Cosmograph” which is correct for the 3.36 million serial number. Its provenance is particularly noteworthy as the present timepiece was sold at the historical thematic sale, Daytona "Lesson One"
@phillipswatches Since our original announcement of the discovery of the present 1930s Vacheron Constantin minute repeating wristwatch with day and retrograde date, featured as photo reference 3620 in “L’Univers de Vacheron Constantin Geneve” by Carole Lambelet and Lorette Coen, experts have been digging deep into their own archives to find more information about the watch. This week we received a visit from Dr. Helmut Crott, a Phillips Watches board member and one of the leading authorities on Patek Philippe and vintage watches in general. Dr. Crott shared with us a remarkable new discovery: found within his large collection of archives is a book on Stern dials clearly depicting original sketches of the two dials made for the Vacheron Constantin. The news confirms Vacheron Constantin’s own research that two dials and hand-sets were made for their client, one with Breguet numerals and pomme-style hands, and a second with luminous Arabic numerals and luminous hands – which is how the watch was discovered by Phillips. We would like to sincerely thank Dr. Crott Consulting for sharing his findings with Phillips and for helping us write the Epilogue to one of the most well-documented and beautiful stories. For more information on these watches and others included in our sale, please browse the full catalogue, now online.

From Alessandro Ciani https://www.instagram.com/alexcianivintage/
Greatest cloisonné watch dials of all times were undoubtedly those manufactured by Stern Frères back in the early fifties: all unique small masterpieces fruit of the most exquisite Swiss tradition, their quality is unrivaled to this day. The historical dial factory supplied some of the most prestigious watch manufactures, including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Vacheron & Constantin, Universal Geneve. Here is a well known example of Eska carrè style automatic watch with a dial depicting a caravel at sea.
Lot 189 of the #GWA9 - A landmark model, the Patek Philippe reference 1518 was the first perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch ever produced in series when it was introduced in 1941. According to research, only 281 examples were manufactured until the reference ceased production in 1954, a remarkably small output for such an extended period of time. Consigned to auction by the family of the original owner, an important Brazilian attorney and real-estate developer, the dial is fitted with a correspondingly rare feature – a Portuguese day and date window. Originally, the watch was fitted with a Patek Philippe gold bracelet; however, during its only service at Patek Philippe in Geneva during the 1960s, the bracelet went missing during its return trip to Brazil. Adding to its desirability, the present example is accompanied by its original certificate of origin and receipt, with the watch itself costing 3,465 Swiss Francs and the bracelet an additional 885 Swiss Francs. Accompanying correspondence between the manufacture and the original owner indicates the owner was staying at the Hotel Bellevue in Berne, Switzerland and visited the salon in Geneva on October 4th, 1954. Having remained carefully watched over and worn only by its original owner and retaining so much of its rarely ever seen original paperwork, this absolutely fresh-to-the-market reference 1518 is a horological treasure sure to be the star of any vintage watch collection.
