German watchmaker UTS has released a new limited edition version of their 2000M Professional Diver. The case is 44 mm in diameter and 17 mm tall. It comes in either stainless steel or stainless steel coated with PVD. The PVD treatment adds $750 to the price of the stainless steel model, but it also makes the watch virtually scratch proof.

Inside is an Swiss ETA 2824-2 movement. The dial is protected by a 4mm sapphire on the front and a screwed-down caseback on the back. The divers’ watch is capable of withstanding water pressures down to 2000M or about 6600 feet. A helium escape valve allows helium molecules to safely escape the watch during resurfacing, without any water entering the case.

The UTS 2000M Professional Diver watch is available in a limited edition of 200 pieces. Retail is $3500 for the stainless steel and $4250 for the PVD treated stainless steel.

The exploding scene in Seiko modifications is one of the coolest things happening in Japanese watchdom.

In auto collecting circles, an interesting fork in the road separates the ultra-exotic rarities and vintage restorations from custom modified street rods. The former collectors treat the manufactured design as sacrosanct, and dedicate their skills to preserving the best of the best. The second group uses the manufactured product as a platform for expressing its own creative vision. The two genres understandably attract different breeds, but which one delivers the greater satisfaction, or achieves the higher plane of goodness, is a tough question to answer. While everybody who loves beautiful machines would die for one of these masterpieces,

or maybe one like this,

who can deny the pure genius of the great hot rod or fail to envy the enormous skill required to build one?

The same avenues present themselves to watch collectors, particularly for lovers of the Japanese brands, which offer fine raw materials for modification projects. With some imagination and the help of the thriving chop shop artists (see PeteW’s survey below), it is possible nowadays to create exceptional customized watches that you’re not going see in multiples every time you’re shopping at Ralphs. While some of these projects never achieve lift-off, they’re all fun and the best achieve true greatness. And whether your vision proves inspired or not, you will certainly gain a deeper appreciation for the subtle craft of the watch designer.

Seiko’s Italian Market Chronograph

Well, those were my thoughts anyway, when I decided to take measures with a true love-hate object, my Seiko “Italian Market Chronograph.” With proportions ample enough to swallow a Prospex Professional 300m Diver, the Italian chrono is one of Seiko’s most eye catching and formidable productions of the 1990’s.

It is a sad irony that today’s collectors value the Italian Chronos more for their chunky bracelets than anything else. (The bracelet shown above is Walt Aranow’s superb 3.2mm brushed mesh by the way). If they had been built with mechanical movements, I’m sure the story would be different, but these days you hardly hear a word about them. What a shame, because the Italian Chronographs have many elements of greatness. With casework that rivals the heavily engineered professional divers, and superb detailing, they deserve a far better legacy than they now enjoy.

I purchased my first Italian Chrono several years ago from the resourceful Jose Tan, who somewhere discovered a large cache of them and became their premier distributor. Though Jose swore me to secrecy at the time, I suppose the Italian chronos are now so long gone that I can reveal the price I paid for mine– an incredible $139.

They create quite a first impression, starting with a gorgeous case that’s laid out in a flared, multi-level arrangement with bullhead style pushers. The satiny bead-blasted lower tier is very wide, about 47mm in diameter, but the case tapers upward in a way that understates its true size. Its conical shape and buttery finish both recall the shroud on the 300m divers, but here the “shroud” is truncated before it surrounds the bezel above. The bezel itself is not rotating, but structural, with a polished finish and flared indents at the hour markers. It supports a handsome tachymeter inset and a huge domed crystal. Down below, a cavernous blue dial becomes the stage for an animated arrangement of circular elements, including raised luminous markers with stainless surrounds and recessed subdials with beveled and polished rims. The elongated, segmented hands are a signature of the Italianate Seikos. The whole scene is highly energetic, and further enhanced by a three dimensional, polished, extruded Seiko logo that recalls Fox Studio’s.

All these ingredients produce a visual feast that is disciplined by a serious, architectural sensibility. When you hold the watch, it is obviously the work of a skillful, experienced designer.

This brings me to an intriguing mystery about who really designed the Italian Chronograph. My assumption for a long time was that Giorgetto Giugiaro, creater of many inspired and avant-garde Seikos, also designed the Italian chronos. Giugiaro is one of the world’s great industrial designers, and renowned in automotive circles among many others. I double checked my theory with the famed connoisseur of Seiko quartz movements, Stratman II from Kuala Lumpur, who shared my belief. “Yes, Giugiaro Design did create the Seiko models for the Italian market. Some were marketed under the Sportiva Macchina line. The Italian jobs were really huge chronos, typically 48mm in diameter.” But our own PeteW threw cold water on the theory by pointing out that the lugs on the Italian chrono are a noticeable departure from the signature lugless arrangements in Giugiaro’s other Seikos. True the hands match the ones found in Giugiaro’s Macchina series, but so what? Seiko recycles parts from watch to watch without a second thought, and that evidence doesn’t prove anything.

Hmmm. I decided to go straight to the source by emailing Giugiaro’s design atelier in Moncalieri, Italy. I tried to present my question in a simple, unassuming manner, while subtly promoting my scholarly credentials in the return address. But for reasons I find impossible to imagine, much less explain, no response materialized. At this point, I don’t know whether Giugiaro had anything to do with the Italian chrono or not. What can be said for sure is that it has a personality all its own, and looks very unlike Seiko’s other Japanese lines. If anybody can resolve this mystery, please let us know here at GMT+9 by posting a comment. The world needs an answer!

From Chrono to Glonograph

With all of these wonderful elements and a possibly distinguished provenance, the Italian Chrono might seem like a flat-out winner (naturally leaving aside that its quartz movement would mean automatic disqualification for many collectors of the old school persuasion). A little time on the wrist reveals an aggravating fly in the ointment, however– an off-putting propensity for illegibility whenever the silvered hands pass over the silver subdials. How like Italy itself, you might say, where beauty trumps practicality at every turn. When I couldn’t’ take it anymore, I turned to modification-guru Jack Alexyon of International Watch Works, who is widely famed for his startling restorations of vintage divers and military timepieces. I’m not sure whether Jack ever held a quartz chronograph before, but he is gamer, and applied himself to the tricky assignment with customary verve.

The initial problem was how to restore legibility to the otherwise excellent design without trampling on its core virtues. By edging the main hands in black, one now gets a clear view of them all around the dial, and a resonance with the black tachymeter bezel that looks very cool on the wrist. Applying the makeover to only two segments was Jack’s insightful idea, and its effect is more subtle than a large closeup suggests. The following picture is more nearly life size (on my screen anyhow) and shows how black edging restores legibility, where normally the time would be lost from view, without becoming a dominant or dissonant focal point to the eye.

But who could resist the temptation to add some Italian dolce, once the opportunity presented itself? While giving the subdials red hands added life and cheerfulness, applying massive overdoses of luminous material supercharged the whole design into the stratosphere. While I’m thrilled to wear my new masterpiece during the hours from six to noon, where formerly the hour hand used to disappear completely, the greatest enjoyment now comes in the night time, when the lights are low, and the glonograph displays its truly fantastic powers of luminosity. As I drift off in bed toward sweet dreams of Italy, I can now see a pronounced green glow right through the sheets, reassuring me that I would be able to tell the time all night, if only I were awake.

It is amazing how a few simple moves turned a forgotten near-miss into a tour de force that constantly evokes comments like, “Wow. Where did you get that cool watch?”

“If only you knew,” I always think to myself before replying. “I doubt they have them at Timeland, but you could check.”

Sometimes the only way to really know how much you like a particular watch is to simply see how much you wear it. I’ve had plenty of watches which I thought I was going to love — watches with all the right features and materials — but that ended up getting almost no wrist time whatsoever for one reason or another. And then I’ve had watches which I didn’t really expect to care for all that much, but that I found myself reaching for over and over. The Casio G-Shock GW-M5600BC turned out to be the latter.

The features of the G-Shock GW-M5600BC are pretty consistent with almost every G-Shock I review:

• Solar powered (with battery indicator and power-saving function).
• 5-band atomic (calibrates with all atomic clocks in the world except the new one in China)
• World time (48 cities).
• Stopwatch with a resolution of 1/100th of a second.
• Countdown timer (max 60 minutes).
• Five daily alarms (one with snooze option).
• Electroluminescent backlight.
• Perpetual calendar (day and date are visible simultaneously, which I really like).
• Waterproof to 200 meters, or about 650 feet.

The Casio G-Shock GW-M5600BC certainly isn’t all that much to look at which is why I never expected to become so attached to it. The case is the standard retro G-Shock square with the corners cut off and the traditional four small stainless steel buttons. It has an inverted LCD (white on black) which, on the one hand, sets it apart from most of its G-Shock siblings, but on the other, makes it more difficult to read than modules with regular LCDs. The overall look is so much that of a standard and anachronistic G-Shock that the only comment I’ve ever gotten on it was from a Rolex-wearing doctor who said something along the lines of "Wow, they still make those things?"

So what is it about the GW-M5600BC that I like so much? It has all the right features (atomic, solar, world time, etc.), and it’s much smaller and lighter than your average G-Shock which makes it more compatible with my narrow wrists. But what I like best is that it has the most unusual band I’ve ever seen on a Casio.

The bracelet is a combination of metal and hard plastic links held together with spring pins rather than the traditional pins and collars. There are several advantages to this type of band over the resin straps you usually get on a G-Shock:

1. It can be sized and adjusted without any special tools.
2. It can be sized for a more precise fit (most G-Shock straps are too big for my wrist).
3. It’s very quick and easy to put on and take off.
4. The bracelet is so light that it doesn’t add much weight to the watch at all.

Admittedly, the bracelet seemed kind of cheap when I first inspected it, but after wearing this watch on and off (mostly on) for the last six months, I’ve come to really like it. And I’m not alone. I’ve seen this G-Shock model for sale on forums without the bracelet from people who removed it to attach it to another G-Shock. Interesting idea.

The GW-M5600BC doesn’t seem to be available in the US (I was only able to find it in Casio USA’s product archives), but it is available overseas from the usual retailers. It goes for about $230 which may seem a little steep for a retro-style G-Shock, but if this watch is your kind of thing, it’s worth every penny.

I visited Basel, Switzerland in March, to attend the 2009 Baselworld show. And because I was already in Switzerland for the show, I decided to visit the Audemars Piguet factory as well. So after my final day in Basel, I took a 3-hour train ride to Geneva. The following morning, I traveled about an hour to the Audemars Piguet factory and headquarters in Le Brassus - located in the Joux Vallée.

My tour guide for the day was Audemars Piguet Press Director, Juliane Gauthier. With her help I was able to tour the CNC department, the Forged Carbon department, the After-sales service department and the AP museum.

Over the next week I will publish the photos from each part of the tour.

I would like to say “thank you” to Juliane Gauthier, Martin Wehrli, Michel Golay, Sylvie Morselli and the entire staff of Audemars Piguet for their courtesy, kindness, hospitality and assistance in making this amazing tour possible. Spending an entire day learning about a brand that dates back to the late 1800’s was an unforgettable experience.
