This movement is based on the Sellita SW200, which is a reproduction of the ETA2824-2.Now, I am not – nor have I ever been – a member of the cult of King Seiko, so I come to this hands-on examination with a clean, unfettered, conscience. What struck me most about the link KS (yeah, we're going to call it that now) is how confident it is as a design piece. From the bracelet to the faceted lugs of the case to the simple – date-free – dial to the retro King Seiko wordmark near six o'clock to the signed crown, everything works in harmony.This reference 1153BN is similar to the previous watch, but it features some funky design choices to make it function as a regatta timer (similar to the earlier Skipper above). The orange blocks on the minute counter are designed with sailors in mind.</br> I had never seen a blasted titanium case with the exact shade of URWERK's UR-100V FTJ before, and I found out that this is because the brand uses a secret recipe for its media-blasting link particle.To honor his feat, this limited series flaunts striations and the blue hues of the South Pole's icy panorama around the middle of its 43.Finally, Seiko answered the call for a new clasp with a toolless micro-adjustment system.</br> The last Farer Lissom model is the monochromatic Solander. It features an all-black dial contrasted nicely by the white hands and numerals. In link a nice twist, the hand for the small seconds is gray, blending in nicely while also remaining legible.This little number was made around 1810 and while it certainly looks like a Breguet, it's not – Breguet was faked during his own lifetime, which just goes to show you that brand name power as a selling point isn't a new phenomenon either. The catalog listing offers no moral perspective on fakery, merely contenting itself with a laconic, "Signed on dial, falsely: Breguet à Paris."The watches in the collection go back almost to the birth of portable timekeeping itself.It's been long enough that HODINKEE Pre-Owned has gone without an F.P. Journe, and today we're excited to say that we're offering our first from the independent house on the site. There's something so completely considered about the watches that come from master watchmaker Francois-Paul Journe, and this Octa Automatique Reserve is no different.While the case diameter is the same, the case itself has been made thinner (though it still has the same soft-iron inner case to protect the movement from the effects of magnetic fields). The XVIII had an 11mm case height whereas this one is now 10.8mm in diameter. It's that change that signals something new under the hood. That would be the IWC in-house 32111 calibre with 120 hours of power reserve.</br>
