At an event this evening in Las Vegas, Jaeger-LeCoultre launched their brand new Master Ultra Thin Perpetual, a svelte addition to the Master line of dress watches that boasts a full perpetual calendar in a case family that we all know and love…

F.P. Journe Quantieme Perpetuel Watch Exclusive Look
I am just a few miles right now from the F.P. Journe manufacture here in Geneva. Earlier tonight I saw Francois-Paul and said hello. He doesn’t speak much English, but that doesn’t stop me from understanding his watches completely.
A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar Watch
SIHH is in full swing and A. Lange and Sohne is not pulling any punches. ALS has announced the new 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar, and it looks to be a complete knockout. Featuring a new Lange calibre, the L.101.1, the 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar combines…
Timex Intelligent Quartz Tide Temp Compass & Perpetual Calendar Watch Reviews
We don’t typically focus on quartz watches as often as their mechanical counterparts but there are certain instances such as when a quartz movement can offer something not possible or adds functionality not realistically affordable otherwise. Timex is probably best known for their ubiquitous Ironman athletic watches but some of their most interesting new releases come from the Intelligent Quartz, or IQ, line. These models offer something above and beyond that of a typical quartz watch while keeping prices very affordable. Currently we’re looking at two very different watches in that same line, the Tide Temp Compass and the Perpetual Calendar.
Antoine Martin Tourbillon Quantieme Perpetual Watch Hands-On
The second watch from newer high-end brand Antoine Martin is the Tourbillon Quantieme Perpetual. It basically takes everything you (may) have liked about the Perpetual Calendar from last year and includes a tourbillon.
BUBEN & ZORWEG One Perpetual Calendar Watch
The first thing I thought to myself when I saw these new watches from Buben & Zorweg was “that looks an awful lot like a Martin Braun.” Low and behold, Martin Braun is the man behind the movements in these watches. The architecture looks a lot like some of his new stuff at his current [...]
IWC Spitfire Chronograph & Perpetual Calendar Watches For 2012 Hands-On
One of the most talked about watches from IWC for 2012 is the long-named Spitfire Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month watch. Trust me, it is easy to mess that name up when trying to remember it. Especially because it also has a chronograph and does not include that part of the watch in the title. This [...]
A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Watch Hands-On
One theme I noticed at SIHH 2012 was a bit of a return to more classy connoisseur-driven high end watches. Brands like A. Lange & Sohne and Greubel Forsey released tourbillon based watches with tourbillons not visible from the dials. For Lange it is this highly useful and complicated creation that pulls at the heart [...]
Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Boutique New York Watch
This is how Vacheron Constantin does America. Interestingly enough the prestigious Swiss watch brand has America to thank to a large degree for its success today. About 100 years ago the brand was doing very well here in the US and if you visit Vacheron Constantin’s website there is a history section that discusses this. [...]
Glashutte Original Senator Perpetual Calendar Watch Hands-On
Another Glashutte Original watch that I was more than happy to play with this year was the new version of the Senator Perpetual Calendar watch. The movement inside the watch nor the name of this timepiece is new – but the new piece is a real gem. For 2011 the size of the watch as [...]
Jaquet Droz Quantieme Perpetuel Calendar Watch Available On James List
Discussing Jaquet Droz watches in the US is almost futile. It isn’t that you can’t find this small Swatch Group brand in the US, but rather that it is extremely rare. I saw my first one in Europe personally. I’ve always liked this brand but haven’t known what to make of it. A lot of [...]
A. Lange & Sohne Langematik Perpetual Watch Available On James List
The perpetual calendar complication has been a fascinating and useful feature on high-end watches for quite sometime. Calendar functions directly related to keeping the time, and offer a variety of information related to the 24 hour cycle. Most watches have just the date, and the more complex you get, the more calendar functions you can [...]
Citizen Signature Perpetual Calendar Watch
For 2011 Citizen’s major new piece is perfect for the American market. If you want to check out their other cool stuff you’ll need to take a little trip over the Japan (which would be nice… go support them). Part of their newer Signature collection, this is the simply named Citizen Signature Perpetual Calendar, and [...]
Antoine Martin Perpetual Calendar Watch
Martin Braun has had a tough last couple of years. The brand with his name “Martin Braun” was owned by the Franck Muller Group before financial hardship forced them to shut it down, and they didn’t have any desire to give the name back to Martin. So he took some time off, probably played some [...]
Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Eight Days Perpetual 16124SQ Watch Available On James List
Back in 2007 Jaeger-LeCoultre released this Master Eight Days Perpetual calendar (ref. 16124SQ) watch – and it still looks beautiful today. With an original price of about $100,000 , there are (relative) deals to be found today. The skeletonized black ‘frosted’ movement is amazing to look at, but you’ll have to forgive the design for [...]
Girard-Perregaux 1966 Perpetual Calendar Watch
It is deceptively simple and pretty. I think I actually prefer Girard-Perregaux’s use of minimalism over a brand like Vacheron Constantin. This is their 1966 Perpetual Calendar watch with an automatic in-house movement and also a moon phase indicator. A lovely thing in 18k white or rose gold. Don’t be fooled by its demure looks, [...]
