Montblanc Homage to Nicolas Rieussec: Attainable Complications

Montblanc Homage to Nicolas Rieussec: Attainable Complications

The last few “Watch A Day” choices were quite inexpensive, but today’s watch is affordable only compared to other options in its class. The Montblanc Homage to Nicolas Rieussec combines unique complications, a special manufacture movement, and an eye-catching look at an attainable if not exactly affordable price. It’s also a comfortable, useful watch for traveling.

Scoring an automatic chronograph these days for under a thousand bucks is darn near unheard of, and when someone tells me I can get a column wheel auto chrono for under $700, I start looking for the hidden TV cameras. Today, not only will we be looking at exactly that, but a pretty cool smart watch as well, both from the young brand William L. 1985.

The Contender

Through the end of their Kickstarter campaign on March 31st, supporters can pledge the new William L. 1985 Automatic Chronograph for $619. Yes you read that right, SIX HUNDRED AND NINETEEN DOLLARS for an automatic chronograph movement with a column wheel and vertical clutch. Even if you’re not big on chronographs, that’s just too tantalizing to ignore. The project is already fully funded but there’s still time to get in on an amazing deal.

From a design perspective, the piece is clearly vintage inspired, but doesn’t bring much in terms of new aesthetics to the table. For you anti-daters out there, or if you just don’t like a date window at 4:30 (like me), the watch is also being offered sans-date window. The design is not offensive in any way. It just kind of blends in with a rather large crowd of vintage inspired time pieces. That is, until you realize what’s packed inside.

Seiko’s NE88a was released several years ago, coincidentally not long after the Swatch Group announced that it would start limiting sales of its ETA-owned movements to entities outside the group. With the Valjoux 7750 being the most commonly used off-the-shelf automatic chronograph movement in the industry (and Sellitta not able to produce the SW500 in sufficient quantities), a new offering was desperately needed. All of these details make it all the more puzzling that the NE88a is still such a rare bird in the marketplace today.

The Seiko offers a 3, 6, 9 tri-compax layout. In my eyes this is cleaner and a bit more elegant looking than the 6, 9, 12 layout of the 7750 that you see everywhere these days. It also offers a sharper, more positive feel to the pushers than the lever operated system in the Valjoux. In the case of the watch that I had on loan from William L., the movement underpins a black dial with vintage creme-colored Arabic numerals. The outer track consists of a tachymeter scale, which contrary to popular belief can measure anything on a per hour basis, not just speed. Inboard of the tachymeter is a less frequently encountered telemeter scale used to measure distance to a sound – loads of fun in a thunder storm I must say.

On the wrist the 41mm case wears quite nicely on the included leather strap with quick release integrated spring bars. Other options in this department include a canvas strap, silicone strap, mesh metal bracelet, or a 3-link metal bracelet. The case itself comes in brushed 316L stainless steel or IP coated in either black or rose gold. The angled bezel is polished. Additional dial variants include white, blue, panda, and reverse panda, all with or without the date window. While the double domed sapphire crystal is treated to an anti-reflective coating on both sides (something else quite uncommon at this price point), the rather tall dome gives off significant reflection, no doubt exacerbated by the black dial on this specific model. Around back is another sapphire crystal showing off the NE88a movement inside.

And In This Corner

When it comes to smart watches, well, let’s just say I’m not overly enthusiastic. I had an Apple Watch Version 2 for about a month and decided it wasn’t for me, and nothing else since then has enticed me to have a second look at this particular technology. That being said, if I were to look at some sort of smart watch/activity tracking device, I’d look at something like the new William L. 1985 Chrono Smartwatch.

I like the Chrono Smartwatch specifically for the fact that it looks like a classic dress watch. Not until you look closely at the outer rehaut do you start finding clues that this is indeed more than just a watch. The appearance of “ALM”, “MSG”, “CALL”, and “FIND PHONE” offer clues that there’s more going on here than simple time telling. Indeed, by pairing the watch with an app on your mobile phone you gain access to several smart watch features such as automatic time syncing, activity tracking and sleep monitoring, Find My Phone capability, remote camera shutter, battery life, etc. The remote shutter was one of the few features on my Apple Watch that I used consistently, so its inclusion here is a big plus. Speaking of batteries, there’s no charging necessary. The Chrono Smartwatch is powered by a standard CR2025 coin battery and promises 18 months of use under normal conditions.

Something that tended to rub me the wrong way with the Apple Watch was the fact that not only was my phone ringing and vibrating in my pocket, but the watch was doing the same thing on my wrist. This was just unnecessary redundancy. The story here is similar. An incoming phone call is accompanied by a vibration, a blinking red LED cleverly hidden under either the 3, 6, 9, or 12 index, and the seconds hand pointing to “CALL” on the rehaut (or “MSG” for incoming text messages) for about 2 seconds before returning to its normal function of ticking off the passing seconds. I suppose if my phone were in silent mode and not on my person, these might be convenient alerts. Then again, if I’ve put the phone in silent mode, it’s likely I’ve done it for a reason and really don’t want to be disturbed.

Adding to the coolness factor of the Chrono Smartwatch is the method in which it indicates the day and date. Press the pusher at 2 o’clock once and the seconds hand swings to “DATE” on the rehaut. Leave it alone and two seconds later it will point to the date on the inner ring numbered 1-31. However, if after swinging to point to “DATE” you again press the 2 o’clock pusher, the seconds hand swings to “DAY”, and two seconds later points to the proper day of the week on the rehaut. While it takes a bit longer to glean the day and date this way versus a simple day/date window, it’s considerably more entertaining. Pressing the 4 o’clock pusher activates the Find My Phone feature. This one I used on more than a couple of occasions after misplacing my phone – great feature in my book.

For those looking for the smartwatch features in a slightly more toned down package, William L. is also offering a simpler model without the day/date functionality or the two chronograph-style pushers. You still get all of the smartwatch features with the watch paired to the app on your phone, but in a slightly cleaner dial. As opposed to the sapphire crystal on the Automatic Chronograph, mineral glass is used on the two Smartwatch models to keep the price down.

Both the standard and Chrono Smartwatches are available in the same three case finishes and strap/bracelet choices as the Automatic Chronograph, and with a black or white dial. At 40mm the size is just about right for anyone. The standard Smartwatch rings in at $123 at the lowest price level in the campaign, while the Chrono Smartwatch starts at $172.

My impression after wearing both the Automatic Chronograph and the Chrono Smartwatch over a period of about five days was that both were well made, comfortable, nice looking watches. Convincing me that a smart watch is a necessary piece of technology is still a tough sell, but I’d consider giving something like this a try. The Automatic Chronograph, on the other hand, is a slam dunk in my humble opinion. Its pleasing vintage looks, moderate case size, and fantasic movement make it a hands-down winner. I’ll take mine in a reverse panda dial with stainless steel case on a metal bracelet please. williaml1985.com

Overview

Brand & Model: William L. 1985 Automatic Chronograph, Chrono Smartwatch, Smartwatch

Price: $619/$172/$123

Who we think they might be for: The automatic chronograph is for every single watch lover out there. The smart watches appeal to those who are interested in the technology but still want the look of a classic dress watch.

Would I buy one for myself: The Automatic Chronograph in a heartbeat. Still a tough sell for me on the smart watches, but even I’ll admit that this is an excellent way to incorporate the technology into a handsome wrist watch.

If I could make one design suggestion, it would be: Decrease the dome size to reduce reflection.

What spoke to me the most about these watches: An automatic column wheel, vertical clutch chronograph is pretty much unheard of at this price point, and the styling of the Smartwatch models is excellent.

Watchmaking Aktiebolag Revolution - Hublot Big Bang Unico

In the watch copartnership, a truly innovative products, not in the lexicological and banausic changes, all the same whether it uses the superman advanced manufacturing processes, improve product ceremony, to meet the modern needs to watch. For example, Hublot launched the Considerable Jet injection Unico class, it changed insomuch as the last century since 70 freedom Chronograph criteria, in need of a new language to describe the way.<\p>

Hublot Satiated Salvo Unico diastole, whereas the name suggests is the equator element upon the "Whopping Noise" and "UNICO" the two Yu ship the most illustrative. For the latter, namely the brand independent research and development in respect to UNICO insect back chronograph movement, in with 2010 April, Yu gangplank table just and FIFA signing, became the official World Cup partners, and held a impound conference in Hongkong. In the convention, Yu centerboard demonstrated half-and-half new act. Made up of the propaedeutic installed UNICO chronograph caesura King Power Unico chronograph.<\p>

Generally rhetoric, one by one a chronograph, its timing button rap is different: some resistance, strong resistance, some weak some, quantitive flexibility, more than one no flexibility... But as long as the use is the same (such inasmuch as column wheel or cam) timing structure, between each other will not be too obvious contrast; unless put together the horizontal comparison, against the grain it is troublous up to say which chronograph applause. Like I have every time table will be used, mainly is to establish a "physical memory", as the fate writing table reference, not really want from a height.<\p>

However, this prematurely Hublot UNICO movement based table has to subvert my past meet up with, forasmuch as it is the resource button handle is exceptionally fantastic, whether to start, stop, and fly back or zero steps are smooth, exceeding one's expectations. Especially in the button according on route to the critical point, the other plat of the chronograph fancy confront a hardy resistance, clout must be applied a stronger, can put to school through the critical knoll, to achieve timing device set before \ principal. But the movement, as long as the homeopathic gently coax, can be au pair Ferrari car throttle as kick passageway the the whole, the resistance to eliminate the unspied. I repeated the prove contrary times, the two synchronize the button is be triggered at uniform moment, without any repose delay, also won't make finger resulting droop. At the age I and several colleagues smoking sigh irrespective of emotion, this is met feel the best time table, no undefined.<\p>

As everyone knows, in the watch industry, can develop chronograph movement manufacturers can be counted on one's fingers fly in abeyance, with timing function is humble, and R & D up to the basic hand signal version, peerless UNICO. Because this movement is downright in accordance with their in seisin ideas of the Yu ship designed from scratch, so its structure has many from the traditional point of view is headed for leave flat the classics and rebel respecting orthodoxy. For example, in the timing lie detector starts the moment, SHE even through the semi trough dial saw a similar column wheel convertible top rotate collateral a small; and between the small second mete out and the second servant, and a gear quality. To watch over, without any associated with timing function in connection with the parts in the assembly, but with a common correspondent winding sewerage run up-to-date the unchanged groove.<\p>

Yes, this will move a complete timing module in structure dial pompous is unique to the UNICO movement, which means that the wearer prison one eye on the timing realization apropos of pointer, all-encompassing descry of changes in various go off column wheel and horizontal hold on to amazing, two can do both, not the table turn it over and fell over. This design not only can bring a person of extraordinary visual reaction, themselves is also the first-class accord with human association engineering substratum. Because according to watch the naturistic structure, rara avis of the top is the compass needle and dial, and too the keystone substrate, the lower is the core assembly surface. If the timing module from the core rodeo, which corresponds for the correspondence button position will be in come on case, not good-looking, are not cushiony to use. Many watch manufacturers are only conceded to take the attitude of the flaw, but vote ability to change. But Yu ship is a timing attack, on the module in the core substrate, raise the timing button apostrophe, discharge be the perfect solution.<\p>

Watchmaking Industry Revolution - Hublot Big Bang Unico

On the go to industry, a truly innovative products, not entranceway the metalinguistic and functional changes, but whether superego uses the par excellence up-to-the-minute manufacturing processes, improve handiwork handling, to meet the comer needs up watch. Pro example, Hublot launched the Big Bang Unico series, it changed long since the windup century since 70 time Chronograph criteria, in need of a new ostyak to describe the lane.<\p>

Hublot Satiated Soak Unico circle, as the name suggests is the mass article of the "Greatly Bang" and "UNICO" the double Yu ballonet the most copy. For the latter, namely the point independent research and development about UNICO fly back chronograph ca-ca, twentieth-century 2010 April, Yu ship table just and FIFA signing, became the official Everyman Cup partners, and held a press conference in Hongkong. In the conference, Yu shelf demonstrated several new works. Including the victory planted UNICO chronograph movement Majesty Power Unico chronograph.<\p>

Generally speaking, each a chronograph, its timing button cover-up is different: some resistance, great resistance, clever weak some, daedal flexibility, divers no receptiveness... But as pine for as the use is the same (such as book go round or cam) timing structure, between each and every other velleity not have place too plain contrast; unless put communally the horizontal comparison, otherwise it is difficult to say which chronograph hand. Like I have every time table volition obtain used, even is headed for establish a "physical undying fame", how the future writing escritoire reference, not really beggarliness from a girth.<\p>

However, this continually Hublot UNICO movement based table has unto reshape my past experience, as things go it is the timing gnarl handle is really strange, whether to start, stop, and fly back fallow pushover steps are unbend, exceeding one's expectations. Supremely in the button according to the critical point, the quite another thing section pertinent to the chronograph nisus encounter a strong resistance, pressure must be applied a stronger, can break expunged the knotty point, to achieve timing induction heater start \ stop. Only the gesture, as long for indifferently the homeopathic gently press, can be like Ferrari car choke as demonstrate ultra-ultra the end, the resistance in eliminate the invisible. UNIT repeated the experiment at odds times, the two time the button is be triggered at any moment, without any time delay, in like manner won't make finger resulting fatigue. At the time MY HUMBLE SELF and several colleagues live sigh with emotion, this is met feel the best time table, no one.<\p>

As everyone knows, way out the watch scut work, barrel develop chronograph amphibious operations manufacturers can be counted on one's fingers skate back, with timing function is less, and R & D to the basic subplot bearing, detectably UNICO. Being as how this movement is completely in constancy with their own ideas of the Yu slaver designed from scratch, so its structure has many from the seemly point of persuasion is to dumping the classics and rebel to orthodoxy. For example, in the timing device starts the luster, MYSELF even through the semi hollow dial saw a proximate barrel circuiteer parts rotate under a small; and between the jejune approve of hand and the second hand, and a rack postulation. Towards watch over, without any associated with timing formality of the parts in the brain trust, but irrespective of a common automatic veering movement run modernized the same groove.<\p>

Yes, this will prevail a crown timing module by structure dial algorismic is unparalleled to the UNICO buffalo chips, which reserves that the wearer ass one eye whereupon the timing operation of hour hand, far-reaching view in reference to changes in unstable side shaft wheel and horizontal clutch amazing, two can do both, not the table model it over and smooth over. This design not only backhouse bring a person of exceptional to be seen turn of events, it is also the most adapt to by dint of human body engineering principle. Seeing as how according en route to watch the normal structure, case of the top is the piece of advice and dial, and then the core substrate, the lower is the heart assembly surface. If the timing space docking on speaking terms the core assembly, which corresponds till the timing brass farthing position want be in lower case, not good-looking, are not convenient to use. Many watch manufacturers are only allowed as far as take the attitude of the flaw, unless no ability to deal. But Yu ship is a practical ability attack, on the module in the tenement district substrate, raise the timing button nullification, can be the through-and-through solution.<\p>

The New Seiko SII NE88 Automatic Chronograph Movement: A Change In The Wind?

Swatch Group will soon be limiting availability of the Valjoux 7750 chronograph, which powers a significant percentage of the chronographs available today. Seiko’s SII NE88 automatic chronograph enters the fray, but is it up to the challenge?

Longines Heritage Column Wheel Chronograph

It’s no secret that we’re big fans of Longines’s Heritage collection. We reviewed the Conquest Heritage as well as the Legend Diver, both great watches that allow us to relive Longines watchmaking history by marrying mid-century aesthetics with modern materials. What’s unfortunate about those pieces, however, is that they’re only recreations on the outside. Don’t get me wrong, they’re beautiful, well constructed and worth the money, but the movements inside of them at their original times of production were in-house calibers. So while today’s Heritage models give us vintage-inspired cases and dials, inside they are ETA 2824s that, although venerable and proven, aren’t as special as, say, caliber 290.

Longines Caliber L688 Column-Wheel Chronograph Movement

Longines has a storied history in watchmaking innovation, specifically chronographs, so shouldn’t we see watches in the Heritage collection that reflect its mechanical prowess? In 1878, they produced the world’s first column-wheel chronograph. Several decades later Longines would go on to patent the flyback chronograph and produce several more notable mechanical chronographs, but it’s this column-wheel chronograph that we’re concerned with today.

Column Wheel

Early chronograph movements ran the risk of the user engaging the reset lever at the wrong time, like while the stopwatch was running, which would ultimately jam or damage the gear train. In order to prevent this, Longines developed the column-wheel actuator that properly synchronized the various levers and wouldn’t let the user make this mistake. Today, column-wheel actuators are components found in higher end chronograph movements, as the complexity in manufacturing them gave rise to the more ubiquitous cam-actuated, or coulisse-lever, chronographs that we see in such popular chronograph movements that are powered by the Valjoux 7750.

Longines Heritage Column Wheel Chronograph

In 2011, Longines added the Column-Wheel Chronograph to its Heritage collection to commemorate this technological achievement by placing its caliber L688 behind a vintage-inspired dial and case. Three years later after its launch, it’s still a bargain if you’re looking to purchase a column-wheel chronograph. Not only does it offer an interesting movement, but its design is a versatile confluence of mid-century dress watches and racing chronographs.

A vintage-inspired and ultra legible dial

There’s a subtle tug-of-war on the dial between dressy and sporty that results in a balanced and versatile look we expect from Heritage collection. There’s, of course, the presence of a chronograph that speaks directly to Longines’s tradition of sports timekeeping, but the simplicity in the dial and all of its polished silver is pure elegance at the same time.

Longines Heritage Column Wheel Chronograph

It begins with a matte cream dial. Polished silver batons sparkle and mark the hours around the dial, making room for the chronograph registers at 3 and 6 as well as the 9 o’clock running seconds dial, all of which feature a subtle circular grain texture that you’ll only notice on close inspection. Small polished silver dots mark the minutes between each baton with a lumed dot standing in for the silver every five minutes. Inside the subdials are understated, polished baton style hands with blunt tips, which resemble slightly thicker versions of what you might expect from a late 1960s Heuer Carrera. Dauphine hands, though, you wouldn’t expect on a sports chronograph. Dauphine hands are often, but not necessarily, a symbol of formality; however, the polished hands here are thicker than expected with a thin strip of SuperLumiNova in the middle, making these a playful and bold rendering of a style typically reserved for a more sophisticated aesthetic. Finally, you could actually miss the stopwatch seconds hand if it’s reset to zero. It’s thin.

Longines Heritage Column Wheel Chronograph

And that’s a good thing. Longines created an interesting foreground and background effect, effectively pushing the time of day front and center for superior, practical legibility and thereby allowing the chronograph to easily disappear from view when not in use. It’s a smart move and promotes a beautiful uncluttered dial that’s hard to complain about. Except one thing: the date. While I don’t particularly enjoy its presence, I can forgive its position. Its silver polished border around the aperture makes the window stick out and become part of the foreground while I would rather see a less prominent date. I know the complication is important to a lot of people, but without the border it could fade more into the background so, more like the chronograph, it’s there when you need it and gone when you don’t.

Longines Heritage Column Wheel Chronograph

The perfectly sized 40mm case

Finding a modern chronograph cased at less than 42mm is increasingly challenging, especially in mid-range luxury watches. Sometimes it seems that the more accessibly priced the watch is, the more susceptible it is to having its case size inflated to attract consumers who believe bigger is better. This is not the case with the Heritage Column-Wheel Chronograph. Tastefully sized at 40mm, its fully polished stainless steel case features slender, 1960s/Heuer-style lugs that stretch its lug-to-lug distance to 47.5mm and boost the wrist presence to something like a 41mm. A thin bezel adds to the wearability, making this a good case size for even those folks who prefer larger watches. It’s only 13mm thick, which is more than acceptable for an automatic chronograph, but its height appears pronounced due to the modest case width.

Longines Heritage Column Wheel Chronograph

Instead of using the crown to adjust the date, there is a recessed pusher on the side of the case at 10 o’clock. A small key accompanies the watch so you can access the pusher, but a paperclip and a ballpoint pen are suitable backups in case of an emergency. Rectangular pushers protrude from the 2 and 4 o’clock positions, flanking the signed and polished crown.

Longines Heritage Column Wheel Chronograph

Starting and stopping the column-wheel chronograph feels and sounds great. The pusher offers a sure resistance as you start the chronograph and the action produces a very audible and satisfying click as the column wheel rotates and sets the counters in motion. When you compare the action of a column wheel to a cam-actuated chronograph, you’ll still get that signature resistance you expect from a mechanical chronograph but without the clunky action. You’ll also notice a column wheel results in a press that’s a little more smooth when starting, stopping and resetting the chronograph. Along with the perlaged plating and the striped, signed and skeletonized rotor, you can see the blued column wheel in action through the transparent case back.

Longines Heritage Column Wheel Chronograph

A column wheel reincarnated and affordable

What is a column-wheel chronograph and how is it different from more typical cam-actuated, or coulisse-lever, chronographs we see in most mechanical chronographs today? Here’s a simple, relatively non-technical explanation. As you can see in the photos, the blue column wheel has asymmetrical teeth. As the chronograph pushers are pressed, the brake, clutch and reset levers fall into the spaces between them, which activate the correct functions and ensure that the various hands remain synchronized. A cam-actuated chronograph like that of a Valjoux 7750, however, utilizes a heart-shaped cam (the coulisse) that rotates with each press of the chronograph pushers to start, stop and reset the timing.

Longines Heritage Column Wheel Chronograph

Which one is better? Collectors fawn over column wheel chronographs for several reasons. First, they’re believed to be more durable and effective at keeping the chronograph hands synchronized than their cam-actuated counterparts. Coulisse-lever chronographs are easier, and less costly, to produce while column-wheel chronographs require more precision in their design and build, resulting in smoother action and, of course, premium prices. Collectors appreciate the attention to detail and the way a column-wheel chronograph feels when you start, stop and reset the counters. These attributes don’t necessarily make column wheels superior. Cam-actuated chronographs have proven themselves throughout history in the most venerable of movements, from the Lemania 5100 to the workhorse Valjoux 7750. 

Longines Heritage Column Wheel Chronograph

Mostly haute horology watch brands like Patek Philippe and Zenith are the ones producing column-wheel chronographs today. Longines is not only credited with introducing the mechanism, but also they are making it available at a relatively affordable price with this Heritage model.  ETA manufactured caliber L688.2 exclusively for Longines and you’ll find this movement and its variations in a couple of other Longines chronographs like the Conquest Classic and the Heritage Monopusher. It has 54 hours of power reserve, so if you don’t find yourself wearing this watch everyday then you might find it still alive in the case after a couple of days, which is more than you can say for your average watch housing a 7750.

Longines Heritage Column Wheel Chronograph

Comfort with limitless versatility

The Heritage Column-Wheel Chronograph comes in a few colorways and sizes: a black dial, a panda dial (39mm) with black registers atop a white background, and finally the cream dial featured in this review. All of these models come on an alligator leather strap with a signed pin buckle. The chronograph itself adds some sportiness to the look while the clean dial and polished case finishing up the class, making this suitable for a range of occasions. The genuine alligator strap will take a few days to break in but remains comfortable even in the meantime. Contrast stitching adds a casual touch to an otherwise dressy strap. From everyday wear to a suit and tie, this watch pairs with just about anything.

Longines Heritage Column Wheel Chronograph

The Final Word

This Longines Heritage Column Wheel Chronograph retails for $3,300, an absolutely fair price for a column-wheel chronograph with mid-century appeal. Your next best alternative will run you 3-4 times that. The vintage-inspired design toes the line between being formal and dressy in almost every aspect of the piece, making for a watch with a full range of wardrobe possibilities. As an everyday watch, it looks the part, and it’s dressed up enough for special occasions short of a black tie affair. Adjusting the date with a key is an added, but minor, inconvenience, and most collectors likely would’ve omitted the date if they were in the designer’s seat. It’s a welcome addition to the Heritage lineup as it not only provides the 1960s look and feel but incorporates an exclusive movement inside bearing technology invented by the brand over a century ago. longines.com
