Carmelo Anthony’s Haute Time Watch of the Day: IWC Aquatimer Chronograph “50 Years Science for Galapagos”

Carmelo Anthony’s Haute Time Watch of the Day: IWC Aquatimer Chronograph “50 Years Science for Galapagos”

IWC introduced a totally revamped Aquatimer collection at this year’s SIHH, including a trio of special edition watches that pay tribute to environmental conservation of the Galapagos Islands. This piece commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Charles Darwin Research Station, a scientific institution set up by the Charles Darwin Foundation on the islands. The Galapagos is a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean classified as a UNESCO world heritage site for its rich ecosystem and vast number of endemic species. Darwin’s study of the islands led to his theory of evolution. IWC has supported the Charles Darwin Foundation since 2009. The READ MORE

Carmelo Anthony’s Haute Time Watch of the Day: Richard Mille 60-01 Flyback Chronograph Regatta

Carmelo Anthony’s Haute Time Watch of the Day: Richard Mille 60-01 Flyback Chronograph Regatta

This is Richard Mille’s first regatta watch, and it goes beyond the traditional regatta countdown function to include navigational capabilities. A special rotating bezel is marked with indications of the four cardinal points, combined with a graduated 360° and 24-hour scale disk. A UTC hand can be used either as a second time zone indicator or in combination with the location of the sun and the rotating bezel to orientate the points of the compass. It can be easily adjusted using the pusher at
8 o’clock: to calculate one’s location, the UTC indicator is directed towards the sun using the UTC READ MORE

Carmelo Anthony’s Haute Time Watch of the Day: A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar Terraluna

Carmelo Anthony’s Haute Time Watch of the Day: A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar Terraluna

The A. Lange & Söhne Perpetual Calendar Terraluna is big (45.5mm) and busy for a Lange timepiece, but retains the brand’s signature classic aesthetic. As a high complication, it conveys a lot of information but does so smoothly and elegantly. Hours are shown regulator-style in the subdial at four o’clock, with overlapping minute and seconds dials. There is also a leap year indicator, a rare and expensive complication, in the upper right. The caseback is a dramatic orbital moonphase display with not only moonphase but the moon’s position in the night sky from the northern hemisphere – so the watch READ MORE

Carmelo Anthony Watch of the Day: Ulysse Nardin Dual Time Manufacture

The new Manufacture collection is fitted with the brand’s in-house Caliber UN0334, which enables the second time zone and date to be adjusted both forward and backward. The home time indicator in the porthole at 9 clock reads time on a 24-hour scale, while the main dial is reserved for local time. This is achieved simply by pressing the (+) or (-) pushers positioned at 10 o’clock and 8 o’clock, without having to remove the watch from the wrist or interrupting its timekeeping. The calendar function automatically synchronizes with adjustments made in either direction. Other features include a double window READ MORE
