Carmelo Anthony’s Haute Time Watch of the Day: Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Night & Day

Carmelo Anthony’s Haute Time Watch of the Day: Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Night & Day

This is the first model of the Reverso – Jaeger-LeCoultre’s most iconic timepiece – to be equipped with an automatic movement. The Caliber 967/B has a 42-hour power reserve, and drives a 24-hour second time zone subdial that replaces the numeral 6 on the dial. The day/night indication is unique and ultra-subtle. It differentiates daytime hours from nighttime hours with contrasting guilloché finishes on the subdial at 6 o’clock: day hours are indicated in a swirled pattern above the 6 to 18 half of the dial, while a horizontal pattern on the lower half indicates the night hours. The main READ MORE

Carmelo Anthony Watch of the Day: Cartier Tortue

Carmelo Anthony Watch of the Day: Cartier Tortue

Like many luxury watches this year, the Cartier Tortue has been slimmed down. The new extra-flat version has been reduced in thickness, and the domed case has been replaced by a flatter, more elongated version. The Tortue, originally launched in 1912, has a case design inspired by the outline of a tortoise. It is one of the brand’s iconic “shaped watches” along with the Tonneau, the Baignoire and the Crash. The new Tortue retains the classic Roman numerals, sword-shaped hands, rail-track index and guilloché dial of Cartier’s signature design codes. The movement is the manual wound Caliber 430MC, and the READ MORE

Carmelo Anthony Haute Time Watch of the Day: Montblanc Meisterstück Heritage Pulsograph

Montblanc has created an entire watch collection as a tribute to one of the world’s most iconic writing instruments, the Montblanc Meisterstück. The movement, manual-wound caliber MB M13.21 is a monopusher chronograph, which can be seen through the back of the 18k rose gold case. It was inspired by the prestigious Caliber 13.20 of its sister brand, Minerva, which was first fabricated in 1923. The pulsometer measures brief intervals and was popular among physicians for reading pulse rates per minute. The dial is silvery white with a sunburst pattern, gold-plated markers and dauphine hands.

Carmelo Anthony’s Haute Time Watch of the Day: Hublot Big Bang Unico Carbon

The bezel is carbon fiber and anodized black aluminum, with 6 H-shaped titanium screws. READ MORE

Carmelo Anthony’s Haute Time Watch of the Day: Richard Mille RM 63-01 Dizzy Hands

Carmelo Anthony’s Haute Time Watch of the Day: Richard Mille RM 63-01 Dizzy Hands

The Dizzy Hands is Richard Mille’s take on the notion of the suspension of time. When the pusher in the center of the crown is pressed once, the sapphire glass dial on which the numerals are printed begins to rotate counterclockwise, as the hour hand moves clockwise, both at different speeds. This serves to suspend the indications of time until the button is pushed again, restoring the watch to the current time. The automatic Caliber CRMA3 is a new movement for Richard Mille, with principles taken from chronograph design, with a column wheel activating the rotation that suspends time. The READ MORE
