OK, so Submariners are arguably the greatest watches ever made, and Speedmasters the most important. And we love 'em both. And Autavias. And Carreras. And GMT-Masters. And 5970s. And Royal Oak Jumbos. And...you get the picture. But how boring would this hobby eventually become if all you saw day in and day out were the same well-known and generally "acceptable" pieces? A vintage Porsche wouldn't seem all that special if they were the only cars on the road!
One factor that we feel differentiates the analog/shift approach to vintage timepiece dealings are that we readily step outside the box to source some incredibly interesting and unusual watches for your consideration. Sure, we know that not everyone will like them, and even fewer still will understand why we do it. They generally don't sell as quickly, and don't often make us much of a profit. But in the name of passion for horology, and an interest in stepping outside the bounds of traditional vintage timepiece styles, we will continue to bring these rarities to market for you to peruse.
Our latest find is this jaw-dropping ultra-thin Men's dress piece by Zenith. Featuring a solid gold monocoque case design with a manual-winding movement and a hand-hammered "bark" outer bezel, this is by far one of the coolest gold pieces we have ever sourced. Measuring 40mm in diameter and only 8mm in thickness, this beauty is simply unforgettable, and most certainly will not get lost in a crowd!
Admittedly more design and fashion-driven than many of our other offerings, we were completely taken by it the moment we strapped it on our wrists. Give it a shot and we guarantee it will do the same for you, too!
