Seiko beat out some very stiff and very Swiss competition to win the best sports watch award with their commemorative Spring Drive Spacewalk - a replica Franck Muller watch deserving win if there ever was one.Finally, the night's equivalent to "Best Picture", the L’Aiguille d’Or, went to Greubel Forsey's Double Tourbillon 30° Edition Historique.A lovely photo essay of this very watch can be seen here.For a list of complete winners from the 10th Annual Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, click here.Congrats to all! .
Hodinkee in Greubel Forsey, Seiko Friday, November 19, 2010 at 9:00AM Our main man David at Calibre11 has the scoop on what could be one of TAG Heuer's most popular models in a long, long time.The Carrera with new Caliber 1887 was shown at BaselWorld this year and the overall reception was very positive.You can see a live shot of the replica Vacheron Constantin watch Carrera 1887 in white right here.Last week however, we saw Calibre11 show us a slightly different Carrera 1887 that is in fact the final, production version of this watch.
To the untrained eye it looks very much the same as the prototype, but there are two differences, both aesthetic, that make the 1887 a much more refined and thoughtful chronograph, one that reminds us very much of the chronographs we replica Louis Vuitton watch write about all the time here on Hodinkee.First, the tachymetre bezel has been removed.While some declare that this makes the chronograph more of a dress watch than a sport watch, we disagree.Most early Carreras did not have the tachymetre bezel, and in terms of functionality, it hardly limits the watch at all.
