Hodinkee in Chronograph, Longines, Valjoux, Vintage, Wittnauer Tuesday, March 31, 2009 at 6:31PM The author's Spiro Agnew watchWhile we occasionally hear gripes about the prices of some of the watches we feature on the ‘dink, we don’t expect any of those complaints about this one: the early 1970s Dirty Time Company Spiro Agnew watch.Spiro Agnew was 55th Governor of Maryland, the 39th Vice President, and the first Vice President to resign.

Agnew was not exactly popular among the majority of college replica Omega 2925.80.91 watch students and Hollywood actors.In fact, Spiro Agnew even became the target of what became popular joke: “Did you know that Mickey Mouse wears a Spiro Agnew watch?”During Christmas 1969, a physician in Orange County, California named Hale E.Dougherty decided to capitalize on this joke by a watch that featured Agnew in a pose and outfit reminiscent of the famous Mickey Mouse watches.Dougherty named his watch company the “

Dirty Time Company,” perhaps in reference to the replica Omega 3195.50 watch perceptions about Agnew’s dirty political and financial dealings.The Dirty Time Company Spiro Agnew watches were basic mechanical, Swiss Made watches, originally retailing for $14.95.Among those who owned the watches were Elizabeth Taylor, John Lennon, as well as both Republican and Democratic Members of Congress.Dougherty even sent an early watch to Agnew who wrote back that the watch was “both attractive and clever,”

replica Omega 1284.79 watch about 40 years ago

Wittnauer produced some really cool looking replica Omega 1284.79 watch about 40 years ago (see?), but we don't feature them on Hodinkee that often.No real reason behind that, sometimes things just are because they are.Today we did stumble across a really cool vintage Wittnauer Professional chronograph.It is cool for a few reasons.The first reason we like this Wittnauer are its looks.This professional dial is really something unique.It is a deep chocolate brown but features an orange and white checkerboard outer ring.

We've never seen anything like this on any replica Omega 4610.32.02 watch, although we have seen checkerboard used before.The second reason we really like this Wittnauer is that it features a legendary (we realize we use that word a lot, but not sure how else to say it) movement, the Valjoux 72 chronograph movement.Many of you out there may recognize this Valjoux as a "movement to the stars".What we mean by that is it was used in a host of different watches, many of them real classics.

Watches like the Rolex Pre-Daytona, this 1940s LeCoultre replica Omega 4170.76 watch chronograph, and of course this Heuer, which we called the Pre-Daytona without the Daytona, all featured the very same movement as this Wittnauer.We actually think this Wittnauer is better looking than the whole aforementioned lot, and guess what.it's a full $1000 cheaper than ANY of them.Not bad right? Sure Wittnauer may not have the modern-day cachet of Rolex, LeCoultre, or even Heuer, but we say "If Wittnauer is good enough for Joltin' Joe, it's good enough for us.

However, this particular Rolex chronograph is coming to us from 1953.1953? Yes, this Rolex chronograph was made a full decade before the replica Omega 2565.75 Ladie's watch Daytona was a glimmer in Rolex's eye.So what does that mean exactly? It means this watch is considered the forefather of perhaps the most popular and sought after watch today.Lineage means a lot in the watch game, and this has some of the best we've seen.This watch comes with a manual movement, reference number 6034 with a nice cream dial.There are very few details given about the watch but it looks to be in great, original shape.

The price is, of course, POA, but we are sure this watch will be replica Omega 2918.50.82 watch selling in the $20K+ range.A small price to pay for a watch that could make you the envy of any group of friends.Click here for more details on this 1953 Pre-Daytona Rolex Chronograph, and actually a host of other great vintage Rolex chrono's.

replica Omega 4151.20 watch a name

Here's a tip.If you ever start a watch company, give all of your replica Omega 4151.20 watch a name.Those models that have names, whether it be Submariner, Speedmaster, Polaris, Navitimer, or anything else, stand out amidst the dozens of nameless models that we find each and every day.If a watch doesn't have a model name, it's pretty hard to identify, and equally hard to discuss with your friends, and thus rarely become classics, cult or other.Take this LeCoultre chronograph you see to the right.This thing is AWESOME.Check out the blue sunburst dial, unique round multi-colored hour markers, and red-tipped second hand.

You can't see it from this picture, but this replica Omega 1475.79 watch also features a small but thick case that we don't see too often in LeCoultre chronographs.Take these great attributes, add in a Valjoux 72 movement and the LeCoultre name, and you have a watch people WANT.Actually, Jeff (who graces this fare site from time to time) is currently obsessed with this particular timepiece, and even considered selling his vintage Rolex Datejust to help pay for it.Tempted to bid on this lot in tomorrow's Antiquorum sale, Jeff began to research this model (reference E 2644), thinking perhaps he could find the same watch from a dealer, on eBay, or a forum.

But you know what? Because this replica Omega 4877.60.37 watch doesn't have a name, and few outside of the auction world would take enough time to catalog the reference number, there isn't a single other LeCoultre reference E 2644 available in the world at this time.This could be Jeff's only chance at purchasing this watch that he's spent hours staring at, all because LeCoultre didn't give it a name.It will be up on the block tomorrow tomorrow with a pre-sale estimate of $2200-$2800..

all replica Chopard watches meticulously hand engraved

Of course it is all replica Chopard watches meticulously hand engraved in solid gold.More impressive is the rear of the watch where you can see the also hand engraved movement plate and rotor again in 18k gold.Really awe inspiring if you ask me.The movement is interesting in function.First, the hour hand is jumping.Meaning it always displays the precise hour, as opposed to being between hours.There is also another unique feature to the Tempusvivendi movements that is not obvious to the eye.

A pusher in the crown makes the hands jump to their "non replica Ulysse Nardin watches temporal position." Meaning that the jump back to position seen in the picture so that they appear just like the coat of arms.Another sign that this watch is art and for a serious Qatar lover.It goes without saying that a watch like this in made in a very high quality and hand made.The 39mm wide gold case is done in a beautiful mix of polishes.

Price is high, very high, less that Mr.Prescher's most ornate creations in the Thomas Prescher line up that are in the half replica A Lange&Sohne watches million dollar range.Those are admittedly more mechanically complex, and I hear that the Tempusvivendi Qatar watch is in the $65,000 - $75,000 range.Watch lovers tend to appreciate watches starting at a young age.
