Also, on the right side of the face you will see a small aperture that fills and retreats during each Rahu, allowing you to see just how much longer no decisions are to be made.These Patek Philippe Nautilus from Borgeaud are good looking and nothing if not interesting. We love to see innovative takes on traditional watch , and it is not often a new complication is created, especially one that has roots over 3000 years old. We also love to see a burgeoning powerhouse of a nation throw their hat into the ring. Will Borgeaud be the first of many Indian-run watch companies? We would not be surprised.

There is a something to be said for an entirely new watch brand *** an entirely new complication. The company is called Borgeaud Watches (founded in 2007) and the complication is called a Rahu period. Borgeaud is combining Swiss watch-*** with one of the world's most ancient almanacs, the Indian Panchang. The Panchang encourages each person to take 90 minutes per day to reflect and hold a rendezvous with him or herself. This is called a Rahu period. For the 90 minutes you are to make no decisions, personal or professional, and you are simply encouraged to "jump off the treadmill" of your life. Relax, reflect, re-think, but do not act.The watches from Borgeaud are called Gravitas and the line is called Panchang. They are traditionally designed, relatively formal watches. What you will notice on them is that they clearly display two pieces of information you've likely never seen before on a wrist Patek Philippe Nautilus .The Rahu period changes time each day of the week and to ensure the wearer of the Gravitas is prepared for their 90 minutes of reflection, a sub-dial has been added with each day's Rahu period.

seen on a Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon ...the watch
While the Franck Muller Crazy Hours does not feature a tourbillon, it does feature perhaps the most daring design feature we've ever seen on a Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon ...the watch hours of 1-12 are re-arranged non-consecutively, and despite this fact, the hour hand will leap from one hour to the next instantly when a new hour is reached. Wait, what does that even mean? It means that the face reads (starting from the traditional 12 o'clock position) 8, 1, 6, 11, 4, 9, and well you get the point. But, like we said, the hour hand does jump to the appropriate hour when it should, and the minute hand continues its rotation the same as any watch. This self-winding watch, in platinum, features a black alligator strap, and a movement of 203 components including 27 jewels. Hey, they don't call Franck Muller the Master of Complications for nothing. Retailing for around $34,000, this dealer is selling this Crazy Hours at a reduced price of $23,870, which we feel is a great deal, but for a Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon like this we'd recommend you went to a certified dealer.
Although we've occasionally mentioned Franck Muller in passing here on Hodinkee, we have yet to give one the spotlight. That is all about to change. Today we bring you one of the strangest, most unique watches of recent memory... the Franck Muller Crazy Hours. Dubbed the "Master of Complications", Franck Muller began creating his own wristwatches in 1983 in Switzerland. That same year he even designed his own tourbillon (an addition to a watches movement that counters the effect of gravity), which as many of you know is a highly complicated and expensive function that can be seen on very high-end watches. Muller's Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon have graced the wrists of celebrities such as Demi Moore and Sir Elton John.

Chopard Happy Sport Edition-2 aren't for the guarded
Classic design with just a little bit of Muller-flair. Now Franck Muller Chopard Happy Sport Edition-2 aren't for the guarded, financially or stylistically. In fact, the retail on this watch is over $17,000. However, we have found one that is in perfect condition selling for just over $5,000. It was a jewelers display model and comes without the box, but in like new condition at this price, we're ok with that. This could be a great option for some of you out there looking for a high-mark brand without spending a lot...after all $5,300 is roughly what you'll pay for a new Rolex Submariner, your average Breitling, and likely less than what you'll pay for an IWC. The best part about it is, none of your friends or co-workers are going to be rocking a bi-retrograde Franck Muller...unless of course you roll with G-Unit, and in that case, our guess is this isn't the model for you.Click here for the details on this Franck Muller Transamerica 2000 SR Bi-Retrograde, our favorite Franck.
Many of Franck Muller's designs are a little crazy, others are remarkably beautiful, today's find is a little bit of both. In our opinion, it is the perfect example of Franck Muller. It is called the Transamerica 2000 SR Bi-Retrograde and it's a favorite Chopard Happy Sport Edition-2 of ours.The watch is a relatively normal looking stainless steel, black-faced time-teller until you notice the two small retrograde hands that surround the pivot point. These two hands are actually the second hands, because what would a watch be without the ability to read the seconds? The top hand begins at 0 and slides along until it reaches 30, all the while the bottom hand remains immobile. Once the top hand has reached 30, the bottom hand begins to move and the top one resets. To see this watch in action is very cool.What we like about this watch is that it is so clearly Franck Muller without going overboard. We tend to be traditionalists (why we love the Explorer and Ranchero so much), and some of his Chopard Happy Sport Edition-2 are just too much for us. The Transamerica bi-retrograde is not too much at all, in fact it's just right.

lower half of this Chopard Mille Miglia GT-XL is a desirable
However, there are three things that makes this old Omega particularly attractive, besides the originality and condition:That Fat ArrowThe Military Arrow on the lower half of this Chopard Mille Miglia GT-XL is a desirable trait of a British military watch, you'll notice the IWC we mentioned above has it too. It makes this watch easily identifiable as British military issue.The SizeThis watch is sized at 37mm, not unreasonably small by today's standards. We can't tell you how many times people have come to us saying they didn't realize just how small most military (and vintage in general) watches are. We once owned a beautiful military Jaeger that was 33mm. Too small to wear, so we sold it. This Omega is a rare large size and will definitely attract more attention because of it.The PriceYes, the price. This Omega is selling for only $1695. Yes, it is true that some military Chopard Mille Miglia GT-XL sell for less than their civilian counterparts because they are less complicated and often used lower quality movements, but today's Omega is a winner from every angle.
When looking for a vintage watch, many people are immediately intrigued by a military piece. The idea of a battle-tested beater with real (albeit hard to define) provenance is a great way to start off a collection or to add to one as a character piece. Now military watches vary a lot in price, those made by Rolex obviously leading the charge into ridiculousness, but that's not to say you can't find a great looking Military watch from a high-mark brand that is affordable. After all, we've brought you this classic Heuer pilot's watch from the Bundeswehr, this IWC for the British Air Force, and a personal favorite, this Hamilton Canteen watch signed by a short-lived wing of US Military Bureaucracy; all of which are relatively affordable.Today we are bringing you a great military watch from Omega that is truly a great deal. It is a British Military Chopard Mille Miglia GT-XL from the year 1953 that is completely original. The crown, the dial, the case, and movement are all original Omega and in great condition. It also features an anti-magnetic shield within the case (standard on most military Omegas).
