always want: TUDOR Heritage Black Bay

TUDOR is the way to go if you dig the earlier big crown Rolex Submariner such as the Ref. 6538 (aka the James Bond Submariner) without paying astronomical prices. the Black Bay is made from the same 316L steel which Rolex used until now and looks fantastic with the gilt-style printing and the red triangle at 12 o’clock position. also the rose on the crown is a nice touch.

latest pickups...
"Made in Japan"

today it's all about made in Japan. the Olympus OM-1 was first introduced 1972 (as M-1, the name was changed 1973 due to a lawsuit filed by Leica) and was the smallest and lightest SLR of its time. this particular model, the OM-1 MD (motor drive), was released 1974. it's accompanied by the fantastic 28mm & 50mm Zuiko lenses. the camera itself was cleaned thoroughly and the original black surface was replaced with blue leather. furthermore there's the Seiko "Sea Urchin" automatic watch which for me is one of the best entry level options out there. the international model is more commonly available, but i wanted the made in Japan version.

Blaken PAN AM® GMT-Master

July, 1954. The Boeing 707 passenger jet makes its first flight and launches the jet age. at the request of PAN AM, Rolex released its new GMT-Master (reference 6542), a watch that could simultaneously track two time zones, an important function for long-haul pilots. for me, the PAN AM Master is one of the most beautiful watches ever created. german Rolex customizer Blaken now offers a meticolous recreation of the PAN AM watch. it's limited to 158 pieces (PAN AM's fleet size at that time) and can be acquired here, the price is on request though!

fly me to the moon

this is a one of a kind opportunity to get a piece from outerspace, as this Omega Speedmaster from astronaut Ron Evans was 302 hours in space (aboard the Apollo 17 mission), thereof more than one hour outside the spacecraft during a spacewalk. Christie's will auction this watch on 15 December 2015. for the full catalogue click here.
