New releases – Benrus Type 2
Just over 100 years after its founding, the independent New York brand reissues its iconic tool watches. First issued in the early 1970s, the Type 2 makes its return with a classic 39.5 mm steel case, and with the 41.5 mm bronze case seen here, water resistant to 200 metres. Its sapphire back offers a view of the Swiss automatic movement based on the ETA 2892 caliber. The dial features the traditional military 12/24 hour format with small triangles marking each hour.

Watches & Cars - Vacheron & Constantin / Horch (1939)
The beautifully finished, indelible silvered dial of this example does not feature the tachymeter scale that allows for speed measurement, but the buyer probably did not mind – he got all the information he needed from his car’s dashboard.
The movement is Caliber 434, an upgrade of Caliber 22 that the well-known chronograph specialist Valjoux made exclusively for Vacheron & Constantin.
Si può immaginare che i proprietari di vetture come questa non indossassero orologi qualunque. Il cronografo Ref. 4072 di Vacheron Constantin si può definire un abbinamento appropriato. La produzione cominciò più o meno nello stesso periodo in cui Horch lanciò la sua Roadster da sogno, e la Casa di Ginevra godeva di una reputazione lusinghiera presso le classi abbienti del tempo.

New releases - Arnold & Son 38 HM Steel Amber
The Baltic amber used for the dial comes from a block weighing 1.6 kilograms, fossilized more than 30 million years ago. No two pieces have exactly the same pattern of streaks. The 39.5 mm steel case hosts the extra thin Caliber A&S1001, an in-house hand-wound movement with a 90-hour power reserve. Its price is CHF 19,500 incl. VAT.
