Military watch performance in the auction, or extremely rare military watch what kind of?
"In my limited perception, there are several world-class time nodes for the watchmaking industry (special watches): the Second World War, competitive and medical" equipment "and the recent" wealth upgrade"."
The first wave
Two world wars
Rush "upgrade" a large watch factory watchmaking capabilities. According to historical records, after the outbreak of the Second World War, the Swiss watch export increased exponentially, which was an escalation in quantity. The neutral Switzerland can be described as sitting in the fishing profits of the war.
The second wave
Athletic competitions such as the Olympic Games and the Swiss Observatory table competition
These two kinds of athletics put forward extremely high requirements on the timing precision. In addition, all kinds of competitions and doctors' needs also make the use of timepieces reach an immeasurable peak.
The third wave
Wealth upgrade
Quartz crisis in the next two or three decades, different regions of the world in different bands of wealth to upgrade, it is jewelery watches, highly complex watches, art watches, "stolen goods paradise", watches are no longer practical products, but a men and women's decorations, Is an "art piece" of identity tastes and hobbies that consumes for the general public from the "successful transformation" of an industrial commodity.
army
1 This "bunch" military pocket watch
In the midst of the war, the Army was the least armed force with the largest number of "science and technology contents." Therefore, most of the works by the army are relatively large in scale and the grades are also "lower class." Sotheby's auction The George Daniels Horological Collection which made a "bunch" of military pocket watches.
7 military watch combination (Hamilton3, Elgin1, Wittauer1, the key winding chronograph central seconds hand, white metal mechanical watch pocket watch 1). About the beginning of the 20th century, the production was valued at 800-1,200 pounds, and the price of the company was even sold at 3,250 pounds
Although there is no accurate number that they are all Army use, but its poor appearance, it should be the Army correct. Although the navy may also be equipped with pocket watches, but more like deck tables, the overall accuracy of the higher requirements.
2 army the poorest, ye use silver shell it?
Sotheby's shot a A.LANGE & S HNE silver case 1940 military pocket watch (I think the Army), the appearance of the design is quite beautiful, that is a silver case, I also pondered a long time, the Army does not No money, why use silver?
There are two possibilities: 1, although at that time the silver was more expensive than steel, the steel was more armament supplies and the army was not qualified; 2, although the army did not have the money, it used the silver shell for the senior army officials. Silver, Austrian Silver, England Silver is silver-free and should be 60% copper, 20% zinc and 20% nickel.
3 the ultimate collection of the Army table
During World War II, at that time, "the deepest pocket" belonged to the British army. Data showed that they had the most gold reserves, so the British military equipment was the most "local tyrant." Light is OMEGA (Omega) Ref.CK2444 purchased a model of 25,000. They are not only equipped with ROLEX (Rolex), sea and air, the Air Force and IWC (Million) mark, the Navy to ROLEX-based. The army's military is also the only luxury lineup: a Hippocampus 300, a Sub200m with ROLEX 5513/5517 and a T with a dial.
Among them, the Sub 200m of 5513/5517 Although the model is also supplied to the British Royal Navy, the Navy's dedicated unit number is 0552, while the Army supplies the W10. The exterior looks the same, but the difference in serial number makes the surviving amount Different, worth more different, watch friends R on November 28, 2016 Phillips on the W15, a captain of 1,625,000 Hong Kong dollars.
It can be said that the lettering W10 ROLEX (Rolex) 5513/5517 should be the peak of the Army table, is the ultimate treasure in the field.
navy
Mentioning the auction of Navy watches apparently had to mention PANERAI (Panerai). Because it is not conventional to wear, so extraordinary shape, mainly for submarine forces, has a huge shape, dressed in "cotton jacket" outside.
In fact, the main achievements of PANERAI in the early years were mainly military items. In 1915, Radiomir's patent was applied. On January 11, 1949, a new type of fluorescent compound known as Luminor, with tritium as the basic raw material, was registered and led the trend. These two patented fluorescent patents have become the two pillars of contemporary PANERAI.
1 Panera Navy watch a period of past events
PANERAI was a pure amateur in the early days of the watch industry. It did not have its own watch factory and production line. In order to realize the most basic requirement of water-proof case (see this just himself has been solved), Road Side agency news that PANERAI bought some of Rolex's number 2533 table back to "research." In order to speed up the working hours, PANERAI improved some of its designs, putting the Rolex 2533 prototype on the Italian Navy in 1936. The first generation of sample 2533 was a dotted and striped dial, which (it is said) produced only one Pieces. This should be the rarest version of the Navy, but it is obviously rare, let alone owned.
At that time, the Italian Navy was quite satisfied with this design, but when PANERAI was actually delivered (1938), it became 3646, now the most popular PANERAI dial with 3,6,9 Arabic marks, produced from 1938 By the 1950s, this should be the largest number of antique PANERAI naval watches (600 were reportedly).
This table not only for the Italian Navy, also sold to the German Navy, in order to low profile children, the German Navy 3646 uses California face plate, confuse the enemy can not see the navy's source. Today looks a bit ostrich ideas, I do not know how the effect of the year.
2 You can buy the Panerai antique military form
Which to say that you "within reach" and a very small number of naval watches, 6154 is a fierce one, using the 1940 case but with the Italian navy 6152 and 6152/1 is different.
The collectors call it Small Egiziano or small Egyptian, a little more delicate than 6152 and 6152/1. After the World War II, the Egyptian Navy was supplied to the Navy in the 1950s in very small quantities. In 1956 it was replaced by the GPF 2/56 (BigEgiziano) Instead Although there is no accurate data, some auction houses estimate that its actual deposit amount is less than 30. Because the number is extremely rare, compared to the rest of you hundreds of thousands of worth, 6154 If the product is better, I am afraid to two million to imagine.
air force
Air Force control and the importance of no doubt, so the Air Force top of the table is the most. And with the progress of "making a mess", I found that in the later brand promotion can be accumulated in the mid-market mainstream, often in the World War II, "the name of history" brand. In particular, like OMEGA, ROLEX, after World War II is still some countries designated armaments table, which provides a tremendous reserve force for the development of the brand.
1 IWC and A.LANGE & S HNE military watch the difference
The famous Air Force during World War II table with the German IWC - with the Army is different, the main features of the Navy and Air Force table is larger - the flight meter will be larger. Although the British Air Force mark is not large, but it should be different services, different practical environment, making the air force needs different table, different shapes. Today, we like the big watch, so the big list of the Air Force provides only one good reason for us to like it again.
IWC made 1,000 Big Pilot's Watch for the German Air Force during the World War II in the 1940s. This is a small, high-quality German military watch with a fairly low market value. On the contrary, A.LANGE & S HNE made a great number of Air Force forms for the Germans, so the appearance of the two seems not much difference between the movement A.LANGE & S HNE is no worse than IWC, but the market value far worse, the number of six or seven Times, worth about the same ratio.
2 French custom Breguet
After the war, the French army specially customized Type XX and Type XXI chronograph watch is also a famous military watch.
The first version of Type XX, its military specification, was released on December 26, 1952. Four years later, in April 1956, the military version of Type XXI with a rotating bezel for air navigation was introduced, both with fly-back Function, is also equipped with different services, its caliber moderate, classic design, movement is good, and now worth a bit low "incredible", anyway, if I encounter first-class products, will engage in a.
3 Longines can not be ignored
In the 1940s, LONGINES (Longines) successively released the 13ZN, 30CH and other famous timing machines. At that time, ROLEX Daytona really did not do anything. In addition, there were such techniques as the Rhinoceros Watches, LONGINES (Longines) Definitely no doubt a good hand. However, as long as the Air Force flew a short time, timing technology less.
But Fu Yi Si took a US military's 1935 single-button chronograph, quite rare, worth extraordinary. Although the U.S. military is a major contributor to the war mongers' money supply, during the World War II, the U.S. military's watch and equipment were more common and the big names were extremely rare. Most of them were American domestic brands such as Hamilton. Similar works by LONGINES were also provided to the Japanese Air Force.
4 FAP words on the back of the table, not the same
The rare and low profile I personally like very much after the war is the FuerzaAérea del Perú Peruvian Air Force's ROLEX Daytona 6263, which looks no different from the white or black front but with the FAP inscription on the back and a lettering making it Triple worth soared, what is more boring than this?
Hundreds of thousands of Swiss francs to buy one looks the most common 6263, this is where low-key fun ah.
