When Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean lover John Mayer was interviewed
When Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean lover John Mayer was interviewed in the NY Times about his collection (which does include a Sky Moon), this is what he said "There's no real retail for it, because it's so difficult to get.Hours and minutes of mean solar timeDay, month, leap year by handsMoon ageCrown at 4 o'clocksetting of the time and windingOpaline-white dial with embossed Calatrava cross motif, gold applied Roman numerals9 handsReverse sidesidereal time, sky chart, phase and orbit of the Moon Crown at 8 o'clock (24-hour scale)correction of sky/moon indicationsCase is humidity and dust protected only (not water resistant)Yes, it's very complicated, and yes it is very rare. While they do still make the Sky Moon, production is limited to only two units per year. When a Sky Moon comes up for auction, it is the guaranteed headliner.
We (and many others) have often said Patek Philippe is perhaps the most exceptional watch brand on the planet. They were the first brand to have the audacity to charge $20,000 for an uncomplicated, stainless steel Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean . They did it, they're still doing it, and people are still paying it. While many people strive to own a Patek in their lifetime (although, you never actually own a Patek, right?) what does the brand itself strive for? To put it simply, they strive to produce watches like the Sky Moon Tourbillon. The Sky Moon Tourbillon (ref 5002) is the most complicated wristwatch Patek has ever produced, it is also their foray into double-faced Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean . It features:Mechanical manually wound movementCaliber R TO 27 QR SID LU CLMinute repeater with tourbillon escapementChime with two cathedral gongs activated by a slide piece in the caseFront sidePerpetual calendar with retrograde date hand.

escapement of a mechanical Omega Speedmaster GMT
Yes, its purpose to is fight gravity.We won't go into the details of how a tourbillon does this, but we will say that traditional tourbillons rotate on one axis, this JLC rotates on two. This means you are in for a spectacular show when you wear this Omega Speedmaster GMT . Don't believe us? Watch the video below:So this JLC have one of the more complicated (and beautiful) tourbillons, a half dozen other incredible complications, a case made of high-grade platinum, and exclusivity...and we found one for sale. Retail price on the Gyrotourbillon is a cool $400,000. We found one being offered at a hefty discount (a discount equal to the price of a Lexus) here in New York at SoKoBe on Madison Ave. Price? $339,995. All things considered, this is a bargain. The watch they have is brand new with all original boxes and ***s, everything you'd want in an investment grade Omega Speedmaster GMT like this.Click here for the details and opportunity to by this amazing Jaeger LeCoultre Gyrotourbillon 1.
Every now and then we take a break from the mundane world of high end Swiss watches to bring you something from the world of extremely high end Swiss watches. Today is one of those days. Remember when we showed you that amazing video of the Audemars Piguet Grande Complication? One noticeable void void in that laundry list of complications was a tourbillon. Today, we thought we'd show you a world-class tourbillon, one that is actually for sale.We are talking about the Jaeger LeCoultre Gyrotourbillon 1. The Gyrotourbillon 1 has been in production since 2004/2005 with only about 20 pieces being made per year, a total of 75 world wide. Almost all of the Gyrotourbillons are promised to large scale watch collectors before they are even off the assembly line, so finding a brand new one is a hard thing to do.The Gyrotourbillon has an impressive list of complications (a perpetual calendar, equation of time, retrograde power reserve and month indicators, and of course the ever useful leap year indicator) but what makes this hyper-complicated watch so impressive and unique is the design of its tourbillon. For those who don't know what a Tourbillon is, the long and short of it is that it's an addition to the escapement of a mechanical Omega Speedmaster GMT to counter the negative effects of gravity on the watch's accuracy.

Mayer bought IWC Portuguese Regulator
Sure, the likes of John Mayer bought IWC Portuguese Regulator the PAM 191, but even he agrees that "it's so over the top...it doesn't even tell time". Not to mention, when the PAM 191 was released it had a retail price of over $5000. Now, many vendors claim the MSRP was closer to $6500, and one shop has it listed for an insane $8950.It would be one thing if the Black Seal Compass was actually sought by collectors, but the fact remains that 5 years after it was produced, you can still get them very easily, and that is not a good thing for a limited edition of only 300. Want to see how easy it is to find them? Click here.While the PAM 191 didn't turn out the be the collectors dream like they hoped it would, it is still very unique and a very cool piece of modern Panerai history. If you are interested in purchasing one, keep in mind it is absolutely massive (as you can see in John Mayer's post above), sized at 61mm. While many are available online, it looks like the IWC Portuguese Regulator cheapest around is available here for $5600.
We love a good limited edition here at Hodinkee, and we are also probably a bit too tolerant of insanely priced men's accessories. We also love a good story, and today's item brings all of the above together.We have mentioned before that Panerai was once the supplier of timepieces and instruments for various nautical armed forces throughout the world. Once we even found a full set of original Panerai instruments that were given to the Egyptian Army in the 1950s. This included a watch, a depth gauge, and a massive, 69mm compass. You can see this amazing original set of Egyptian diving instruments here, but unfortunately it has now sold.In an homage to these original instruments, Panerai released something called the Black Seal Compass, or PAM 191, in 2004. Only 300 of them were made and even in spite of the high grade leather, titanium case, and Panerai name, they were pretty IWC Portuguese Regulator much a flop.
