Watches of the month: October 2016
Jacob & Co., Rolex, Patek Philippe and more…

nThis is Jacob & Co.'s answer to a question no one ever thought to ask: 'why isn't there a minute repeater with dual triple-axis tourbillons?' Indeed, the Twin Turbo is one of the most complicated watches ever built.

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona with ceramic bezel
nA new version of Rolex’s Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona in 904L steel (this model comes with a platinum dial). Aside from new materials and slightly tweaked dial, the new Daytona maintains its superb stylings and motor racing pedigree.

Patek Philippe 5930G World Time Chronograph
nPatek Philippe has combined two of the most useful complications in mechanical watchmaking – that of a chronograph and world timer – and created the 5930G. Inspired by a 1940’s timepiece from the archives, the new model is 39.5-milimetres wide and just 12-millimetres thin.

Oris Carl Brashear Limited Edition
nThis limited edition dive watch pays tribute to the US Navy’s first African-American Master Diver. Built on the success of the Oris Divers Sixty Five, this version features a custom-made bronze case, a classic diver aesthetic and Sellita SW200 movement.
