#20 Bell & Ross: History, BR 03, BR 03-94 "Blacktrack", BR V2-94 Steel Heritage, BR-X5

lundi 20 novembre 2023 • Durée 01:01:00

Founded in 1992, the French brand Bell & Ross was a university project between two students, and the watches were originally produced by the German company Sinn. However, the "Bell & Ross by Sinn" is still a point of debate in the watch world.

Bell & Ross began by tailoring watches to military specifications, enabling them to stand out amongst peers. With innovative watches such as the Space 1 and Hydro Challenger, Bell & Ross have always played in a league of their own.

Today, Bell & Ross largely make sports watches designed to imitate the instruments inside an airplane cockpit, and this is what the brand has become known for. Aside from the BR 03, they also make stylish GMT, Chronographs, and offer an integrated bracelet design on many of their standard models.

Still, Bell & Ross are a contentious brand for using off-the-shelf movements and charging such a premium, especially considering the brand's short history - they were founded in 1992.

lundi 6 novembre 2023 • Durée 01:19:38

TAG Heuer are synonymous with motorsport, and has accomplished some things you may not yet know. On the 19th episode of Strap and Link, we dive into their storied history including the invention of the winding crown and stop/reset pushers on the chronograph case.

Of course, we can't talk about TAG without mentioning their placement on the wrist of Hollywood star Steve McQueen, the King of Cool, in the movie Le Mans which features prominent branding from Heuer. We also look at their history in F1 from timing races in the mid 20th century to being main sponsors for the Red Bull Racing team and Max Verstappen, who have won 3 titles in a row.

We wrap up by discussing some of their iconic pieces and collections including the Monaco, Carrera, Aquaracer and Autavia, and how these watches fit into a collection including their price compared to similar models and other collections from TAG themselves.

#18 Jaeger-LeCoultre: History, Reverso, Polaris, Duometre, Polaris Mariner Memovox

lundi 16 octobre 2023 • Durée 01:10:50

On our 18th episode we look at the captivating Jaeger-LeCoultre brand (better known in the United States as JLC) and some of their modern watches. We look back at its founding as a shop that made steel watch pinions in the mid-nineteenth century, and forward to their elegant and dressy options at an upper-end luxury market placement. Of course, we touch on the most important pieces of their history including making watch movement components for the likes of Patek Phillipe, and their invention of the Reverso for polo players suffering from cracked watch crystals.

We specifically look at the JLC Reverso, Polaris, Polaris Memovox, and Duometre collections. We'll discuss each of their specs, price points, and how we perceive them fitting into the modern watch market.

#16 Hamilton: History, Khaki Field "Murph", Jazzmaster, 1936/Boulton, Intra-Matic Chrono

lundi 18 septembre 2023 • Durée 01:14:50

The Hamilton Watch Company was founded in Lancaster, PA, USA in 1892 and started making watches for local railways and operators. As we moved closer to World War II, Hamilton got involved with the US Military and began providing watches to troops, so much so that they even ceased production of civilian models. They continued to innovate, releasing the world's first electronic watch, the Ventura in 1957.

Today, we associate Hamilton watches with a few things: Movies in which they are placed, sometimes becoming a plot point, and field watches, which they execute nearly to perfection. From Hawaii Blue to Men In Black, and most recently Interstellar and Oppenheimer, Hamilton watches continue playing a crucial role in outfitting characters across many genres.

In this episode we cover all this and more, including a vintage mechanical Hamilton 1936, the predecessor to the Boulton/Indiana Jones watch. We also cover several movies like Men In Black, Interstellar, and The Martian, where Hamilton watches are featured.
