When Silberstein saw the original HM2, he says it cartier we5002x2 ladies watch reminded him of the box cameras of the 1940s and he chose to design the HM2.2 with friendliness to the user in mind.The case is created out of a single piece of titanium laid over the existing steel skeleton. The case is coated in a special PVD that is both soft to the touch and resistant to finger marks. According to Silberstein "Since the structure is elegant in itself, very little embellishment was needed. Two stripes of red enamel inlaid into the sides of the case add a precious note and echo the colour of the markings on the twin dials." We love the sleek black finish and pinhole design, and how can you overlook that moonphase concept inspired by the Little Nemo cartoons of the early 1900s. This is perhaps our favorite MB&F creation to date, a surprise from two friends in the world of creativity and timepieces. Only eight versions of this watch will be created, and something tells us even if you want one, you'll have a hard time getting one.For more details on the MB&F HM2.2 "Black Box" via Alain Silberstein, visit cartier we5002x2 ladies watch.
There are a few haute horology brands out there that can do no wrong in our eyes; Maîtres du Temps is one, Urwerk is another, and the third is Maximilian Büsser & Friends. We labeled the MB&F HM2 one of the timepieces that will be cartier we5002x2 ladies watch shaping the future of watch in a piece we wrote for the always amazing StyleCrave. We also chose the one of a kind Sage Vaugn HM2 as one of our favorite pieces from the Only Watch auction. Think we like the HM2? Yup, we do, a lot.Today marks the release of a very special edition HM2 that has been redesigned by famed "watch architect", and friend of Max Busser, Alain Silberstein. For those who aren't familiar with Alain, it's best to cover just who he is before we go into his work with MB&F. He is a Parisian interior decorator and architect by trade, his use of color is extraordinary and his yellow circle, red, and blue cartier we5002x2 ladies watch square are his calling card.On the MB&F Horological Machine 2 that he designed (labeled the HM 2.2), you notice the Silberstein shapes immediately as they stand out against this "black box" concept. What is surprising about this timepiece is just how somber it is, while most expected Silberstein's version of the HM2 to be an explosion of colors.

cartier we5002x2 ladies watch registering the names Aviator
They did this by cartier we5002x2 ladies watch registering the names Aviator, Buran, and Sturmanskie, all of which previously belonged to Poljot. This happened in 2002, and things have never been the same since.Volmax has implemented extraordinary quality controls, and they have gone to great lengths to produce high-grade watches, watches that they can be proud of. The world had long associated Russia with mass-produced tools of a Communist regime, Volmax is doing all they can to change that. Their watches are now on par with many fine Swiss brands. They produce watches in limited numbers to ensure quality and exclusivity.Outside of the Volmax line, there are a handful of other Russian watch brands to consider; the most interesting is Vostok-Europe. Again taking inspiration from aviation milestones of the last half century, Vostok-Europe's N1 has become a smash hit and offers an automatic movement for a very reasonable price.We are sure to see more Russian-bred watches in the US in the coming years, and we owe much of our new cartier we5002x2 ladies watch found love and appreciation to these pieces to a king among men in the Russian watch scene, Komrade Craig. Craig runs a wonderful web-series on Russian watches that we have really grown to enjoy. He also happens to own THE source for Russian watches in the US, www.Russia2all.com.Whenever we introduce something new to our readers, we like to encourage them to explore the concept further by offering a discount. Today is no different. Craig has offered all Hodinkee readers a phenomenal discount. To hear about it, just shoot him an email.Also, we are going to be publishing a full-length review of a Sturmanskie chronograph later this week, a watch we have really grown to love.
As you know by now, it is our goal to educate the masses on EVERYTHING related to watches. The thing is, most of the watches we tend to talk about are Swiss (with the necessary US and Chinese-based pieces thrown in for good measure). Sure we have mentioned a few German watches too, but the world is a big place, and there must be some other mechanical watches out there worth while, right? Right.Enter the Russians. The Russian watch movement is nothing new, in fact it holds an important and cartier we5002x2 ladies watch interesting place in grand scheme of things. Many of us associate the word and brand "Poljot" with Russian watches, and that makes sense. After all, Poljot (which means "flight") was the dominant producer of Russian watches for about 30 years.Prior to Poljot though, most of the watches produced in Russia were strict aviation instruments, designed for military use. Produced by the Moscow Watch Factory (MWF), these watches were on the wrists of the Red Air Force in addition to being in the dash of each plane. They then bore the mark "The 1st MWF Kirova" on the face. In 1946, a man by the name of Josef Stalin personally approved the production of a watch called the K26 Pobeda (Victory) and it instantly became a smash hit.In 1961, then owned by Poljot, a watch bearing the name Sturmanskie (Navigator) was sent into space on the wrist of Yuri Gagarin. THIS was actually the first watch in space, not the Breitling Cosmonaute or the Omega Speedmaster (so feel free to correct your friends at will). Later, astronauts from France, Germany, and the Ukraine also wore cartier we5002x2 ladies watch Poljot pieces into space.We are going to jump ahead many years to the the early 1990s. As the political and economic landscape of Russia changed, so did the landscape of watch production. The 1st MWF and Poljot were gone, and now things began to get interesting.A company named Volmax had been distributing Poljot for a while now, but they decided they would go out on their own and change the global perception of Russian watches.

A Lange & Sohne Lange 1 LS1320 watches capitalize upon Swiss resources
Also, because Buran is made in Switzerland, they wanted to A Lange & Sohne Lange 1 LS1320 watches capitalize upon Swiss resources. They looked for the most storied, high-end, and reliable Swiss movements they could find, and ended up on the Valjoux 7750, a movement we've mentioned many times. You are surely thinking "hey, wait, if it's a Valjoux 7750, shouldn't the Stingray be a chronograph?" You certainly would have a point, but Buran has actually stripped the famous Valjoux chronograph movement to include nothing but a sub-dial. The Buran A Lange & Sohne Lange 1 LS1320 watches Stingray is nothing if not an interesting combination of styles, designs, and cultures. It is an enormous timepeice (52mm to be exact) and its looks are nothing if not controversial. It is something unique though, and something worth looking into if you want a dramatic and eye-catching timepiece. Below, our friends from Russia2All have filmed a wonderful segment on the Buran Stingray...enjoy!PS - Be sure to checkout the Stingray at Russia2All here!
In April we gave you an overview of the Russian watch world. Shortly there after, we reviewed a very cool Russian Sturmanski Gagarin Chronograph, a watch that we really liked and one that we called "The Answer To Your {watch finder} Requests" because it was a mechanical chronograph with an A Lange & Sohne Lange 1 LS1320 watches exhibition back an an inner rotating bezel for under $600 - to this day a tremendous amount of watch for the price.Today we're here with another Russian watch that, really is something very unique. Wait, did we say Russian? We actually meant Swiss. The Buran Stingray, which you see the right, is an odd hybrid of diving watch that really is many things in one. The Buran A Lange & Sohne Lange 1 LS1320 watches company is indeed a Russian timepiece manufacturer, owned by Volmax. However, Volmax moved the Buran company's headquarters to Switzerland, so this watch benefits from both Russian design influence and Swiss manufacturing and of course that infamous "Swiss Made" tag at 6 o'clock.

Zenith Chronomaster El Primero T 40mm Chronomaster T Open XZE321 watches Mauriac he is looking for something
However with Maurice de Zenith Chronomaster El Primero T 40mm Chronomaster T Open XZE321 watches Mauriac he is looking for something new, he wants to sell high quality pieces to real watch fans around the world, not just to celebrities and the aristocracy.He designs each piece himself, and fits them with some of the best movements you can buy; Valjoux 7750s for the chronos and a range of ETA automatics for the non-chronos.

In fact, we think this is another brand that is poised for very big Zenith Chronomaster El Primero T 40mm Chronomaster T Open XZE321 watches things once the US media catches wind of them. These are high-grade Swiss watches made by a storied watch-maker in Zurich, and they offer truly unique design attributes. It is really hard to argue with that.Above are some samples of the current Maurice de Mauriac colletion, but we certainly encourage you to visit their official homepage and see what else they have to offer.Also, we encourage you to follow Daniel Dreifuss on Twitter, where he has over 1000 followers already.

The vintage Hamilton Fontaineblue we've found today is a really cool watch, just look at it. This late 1960s / early 1970s chronograph features that great retro design and one of the very first automatic movements, the same that was used in the original Heuer Monaco.The chrono-matic design, with original silver dial and applied markers, plus the Hamilton name make this watch a worthy pickup. When you consider the history of the movement in side this Hamilton, and the condition this particular example is in, you realize there isn't much else out there at the $1000 price-point that can compete.This Zenith Chronomaster El Primero T 40mm Chronomaster T Open XZE321 watches original Hamilton Fontainebleu is being sold for just over $1095, which we think is fair. Click here for the details.Maurice de Mauriac holds an interesting place in the watch world. It is not really a new brand, nor is it an old brand. It is, however, a brand that we can certainly endorse and one we see big things coming from in the very near future. Just a few weeks ago, prior to Basel World 2009, we held a 30 minute phone call with Maurice de Mauriac founder and designer Daniel Dreifuss. We have to admit, we were impressed.We often speak to people behind the brands but rarely does such a passion come across, especially over the telephone. We began to explore the brand and its merits a little bit more and we really like what we see.Maurice de Mauriac watches are designed and produced in Zurich, Switzerland, which you may Zenith Chronomaster El Primero T 40mm Chronomaster T Open XZE321 watches think is a common area for watch manufacturers, but in actuality it is not. In fact, Maurice de Mauriac is the first watch producer to come out of and be branded with "Zurich"...interesting, no?Daniel, in a previous life, was a watch designer of the highest order. He counted some of the wealthiest and most famous people on the planet as his clients, all before he began Maurice de Mauriac.
