BRM Records TB Watch

After four years of research, development and testing, Bernard Richards and his team at B.R.M. watch manufacture have unveiled an extraordinary looking timepiece the BRM Records-TB (or TB-10000 Tours as stated on the BRM website). Given his fascination with racing and watches with strong personalities, this watch is perfect coming from Bernard Richards. While B.R.M. is not well known in the U.S., they are distributed throughout the States and the simple fact is that I cant help but love many of these unique looking timepieces they are all so, so.individualistic (see also the BRM England watch). Like an MB&F or a Urwerk, this watch will turn heads given its unconventional design and wrist presence.

The basic idea with the Records TB watch is that when placed flat on your arm, the dial and hands are readily visible with no need to rotate your wrist (let go of the wheel, etc.). The watch features a titanium and carbon fiber case (measuring roughly 44mm x 25mm) that looks like a dashboard instrument of sorts. The movement is nothing more than a Swiss ETA 2671, modified such that is operates at a 90-degree angle to the time display though surely there was some ingenuity involved in this. While Id love to know more of the backstory on this watch, including its odd name, for now Ill just have to admire the photos

Available December 2011 at a retail price of 8,200 Euros ($11,300 at current F/X rates) from any BRM dealer worldwide.

U.S. Marshalls Service on November 13th held an auction at the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers, where Ruth Madoff’s 10.5 carat diamond ring brought in the big bucks. This was actually an auction of the belongings of Ponzi schemer Bernie Maddof. Mrs. Maddof’s diamond ring was sold for 550,000, while her diamond earrings went for over 100,000. Apart from these two jewels, other items belonging to Ruth Maddof were also sold, and they brought in a total of $2million. Bernie Maddof’s Rolex “Moon Phase” also went under the hammer for $67,500. A Steinway & Sons grand piano also brought in $42,000. The couple’s king-sized bed went for $2,250. Who bought the bed? Tally Wiener, the lawyer who helped liquidate Fairfield Sentry, a fund, which fed money into Madoff’s accounts before going under. He said he will offer the bed to Mrs. Madoff. Bernie’s velvet slippers with his initials stitched in gold thread were sold for an amazing $6,000. Some man even bought his unused box

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Eight Days Perpetual 16124SQ Watch Available On James List

Image
Back in 2007 Jaeger-LeCoultre expelled this Master Eight Days Perpetual calendar (ref. 16124SQ) watch - as well as it still looks beautiful today. With an original cost of about $100,000 , there have been (relative) deals to be found today. The skeletonized black 'frosted' transformation is amazing to demeanour at, but you'll have to forgive the pattern for creation we hunt the bit for all the report which we have available upon the dial. The transformation tone is essentially due to ruthenium, as well as there have been pure discs all over the dial. Set in the 41mm wide 18k pinkish bullion "Master" pick up case, the watch nicely mixes classical Jaeger-LeCoultre cultured with the visible seductiveness of the complicated style skeletonized movement. Legibility is maintained through use of bullion hands as well as hour markers which contrast with the gray alternative elements which have been great. Jaeger-LeCoultre knows which people wearing the watch will be primar
