We said before that one of the hottest watches at the moment are chronographs. The recent Phillips ‘Start, Stop, Reset’ sale was devoted to the art of the chronograph watch and they realised a number of world records for some of the best examples of chronographs ever offer at auction. Nearly two years ago we talked about some of our favourite chronographs and in particular a type of chrono form the 40s – the step case.

THERE IS SO MUCH STILL TO DISCOVER…

As an avid watch collector and blogger, I have written extensively on the iconic vintage chronographs such as the Rolex Daytona (including the ‘Paul Newman’), Jean-Claude Killy, Tudor Homeplates, early Omega Speedmasters and Heuers. The Rolex Daytona ‘Paul Newman’ has always been a ‘grail’ watch and a watch I really enjoyed owning. Go to any vintage Rolex meeting or follow any high quality watch auction and they will always be the Kings!

Vintage Heuer Carrera

An vintage icon i have been looking at since the last years. As a chronograph lover the black dial Carrera was on my list for a while... but i was still chasing Rolex Daytona's. But i could not resist any longer.
