Eterna Centenaire '61

Just share my latest acquisition.. Vintage Eterna '61 in 18k yellow gold.. Eterna was the first watch brand to use a ball bearing rotor in 1948.. The technology was way ahead of its time back then and so successful that Eterna used it for their logo.. Beautiful, albeit simple, linen texture dial and superb movement finishing/decoration for its price..

Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin

Just sharing..

My favorite dress watch.. A deceptively simple two handed ultra thin watches from JLC, the master of ultra thin movement..






 





 
 
Powered by JLC cal 849, which at 1.85 mm thickness, is considered as the workhorse of ultra thin movement..




















As far as I know cal 849 is the only basic JLC movement that is assembled in the Watchmaking Specialties Workshop together with JLC most complicated movements such as the minute repeater..

Understatement, the fine art of discretion, expresses itself in many variations..

IWC Ingenieur Ref 322801

Sharing my ex private collection.. IWC Ingenieur ref 322801.. Not limited edition, but only was produced for one year I believe.. The difference with other Ingenieur models was the sapphire exhibition case instead a solid caseback with antimagnetic soft-iron inner cover.. The IWC cal 80111 is 7.3mm thick (that's right!) with Pellaton winding system and is considered by some as one of the most robust automatic movement avalable..
