Patek Philippe 5990/1

So it's been a while since I last posted.

I apologize for that greatly on a side note the page has now had over a Ten thousand hits!

I would like to thank you all for coming to the page and reading my little bio's/reviews on watches.

Alright so now lets dive into watches.

As many of you know Basel World 2014 showcases various new timepieces.

So I will be covering that, well recovering since I'm a tad late.

Patek Philippe

Patek Philippe released a new Nautilus timepiece that extends its long line of Nautilus collection at basel world 2014

 

Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph

A wonderful addition to the Nautilus Family

The Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref 5990/1

features dual time on the timepiece

Now the last time I'd seen a Nautilus up close was at

Swiss Watchmakers & Co they were working on one while I was there and I was able to get some shots of it and wrote about it as well link is right here if you'd like to read

The one I saw at Swiss Watchmakers was beautiful, gold case black dial but it only featured Hour/Minutes/Date

The new Patek Philippe Nautilus features the same things as the old one but it also has Seconds, a Chronograph and Dual Time.

Now this is a significant amount of changes throughout the years. As some of you who have followed my posts for a while I love Patek Philippe because of how they can make the complex seem simplistic.

They have not failed to do so here.

The dial isn't cluttered at all its perfectly placed, organized and easy to read.

I must commend Patek Philippe for doing this so well as many watches have these features but their dials are cluttered or the timepiece itself is huge, Patek Philippe have been able to keep the timepiece at a nice size and show the features beautifully.

Thunderbolt on your wrist

MB&F: Horological Machine No. 4 Thunderbolt

This time piece really catches the eye! It sure caught mine!

This watch is very neat, to put it bluntly. 

It comes in along with a collection of MB&F watches. 

It will cost you about $158,000 to have this gadget on your wrist.

The HM4 Thunderbolt simply tells time like a traditional wristwatch. It includes a power indicator display in one window and another display of the current hour and minutes.

Now to dig deeper into the HM4 Thunderbolt's Components and Specifications.
There are two crowns, as shown in the image of the movement above.
The complete watch has five sapphire crystals.
The case is made of Grade 5 Titanium and Sapphire. With a total of 65 components in the case, one is a sapphire crystal.
The engine, developed by MB&F, is composed of 50 jewels and a total of 311 components. The power reserve lasts for 72 hours.
The strap which is a hand-stitched calfskin strap has a titanium/white gold or red gold custom designed folding buckle connected to articulating lugs.
The gorgeous addition of the hand-stitched calfskin strap makes this watch all the more remarkable in my book.
Having that watch on my wrist would get me into that slicked-back-hair, cool-guy greaser mood. It reminds me of an old '50s car.
