Watches - another OCD problem
-
I like that IWC; Moser also just released a pilot's watch in bronze.
As a side note, I received this one 2 weeks ago. It's an older (pre-owned) Cartier that was part of the old "Cartier Paris Collection Privee" (aka "CPCP"). I've been watching pre-owned CPCP for a little while but they're getting crazy expensive at auctions. This one popped up for significantly less than the going rate, at a reputable dealer. This model isn't part of the regular production and is called the "Tank a Vis" (tank with screws), and is based on Louis Cartier's original attempt to build a waterproof watch, which was called the "Tank Etanche". It's my first and only platinum watch.

@JDelage that Cartier looks lovely. (As a side note, can people stop buying nice watches as I'm feeling really left out right now! :D)
I saw the Moser bronze watch online a week or two ago. I particularly like how the Cyrillic font makes it look like a cheap, Soviet era timepiece.

It's aight I guess on a surface level, but I detest what the Tiffany Nautilus stands for. Having LVMH worked into the tacky Arial print on the caseback, print that sits on top of the beautiful movement that should carry this information as an engraving, kind of says it all. This is IMO a lazy, cynical hype piece from a manufacturer that I wish were above such things–it just seems "of the moment" and not timeless (so to speak :D). Even the selection of the supposedly discontinued Nautilus... Just a lay-up IMO and a missed opportunity to stoke some enthusiasm for another model, and it all plays into this bullshit manufactured scarcity hype machine that is ruining the industry.
The movement having such a long power reserve is cool, but to me this isn't a compelling piece at all (not that this opinion matters
).$0.02
As for distribution, fairly certain that will be up to Tiffany & Co.

I see a trend going on with bronze cases especially after Tudor did it. I have to say they're quite nice indeed.

That's hilarious!

So, it's an ungainly pocketwatch that duplicates the form factor of a smartphone that also tells time?
Aight den…

That's probably the ugliest, most useless thing I've ever seen. It's as though someone was given some vague requirements to create a smartwatch - "a phone/watch hybrid" - and totally misinterpreted them!
