Pre-owned. Comes with orig. boxes, manual & dated paper.

One owner’s watch from new & each watch is individually numbered. This is a rare collector’s item & a handsome diver’s watch. This is the equivalent of Rolex’s Submariner with an Explorer dial but at the fraction of the price and Blancpain certainly stands high in the world of luxury watch makers. Today, a vintage Fifty Fathoms commands over S$70K.

Blancpain’s Fifty Fathoms, first introduced in 1953, has become one of the most legendary diving watches ever made, especially with its rich military history and timeless design. But at the turn of the century, the brand decided to venture into the avante-garde and use state of the art technologies and materials to push the fifty Fathoms and Blancpain into the future as the Concept 2000 debuted at Basel 1999. Three models were introduced. This 300m diver’s watch, a GMT 24hrs and Air-command chronograph.

On the mechanical side, this watch is powered by the twin-barrel automatic caliber 1151 with a lengthy 100 hour power reserve. The 40.5mm stainless case also utilized rubber on the bezel and crown for more comfortable handling of the watch. The bracelet was completely new, made in a blend of steel and fiberglass-reinforced rubber that the brand called “enduring yet utterly stylish”.

This is the best value Fifty-Fathoms that you can find for under S$10K now and it is one of the most important model that revived the series and saved the brand to what we have today.

Pre-owned. Boxes have deteriorated and thrown away but comes with the original manual and warranty card in docket.

This is a very rare IWC Portofino Moonphase made together with Sincere Haute Horlogerie (SHH) in 2008 with just twenty pieces produced. It is un-numbered but serialised and online literature is unfortunately non-existent by now. This is a single owner’s watch who purchased it from Sincere Haute Horology boutique at Hilton, Singapore.

Watch is in near mint condition & not polished so do expect micro hairlines on the polished gold case and they can be easily removed upon request. This is a large watch but very slim and modelled after the famous Ref.5251 which was produced only in yellow gold. Functions checked and in good working order.

The moon phase display on this watch is so accurate that it only deviates by one day in 122 years from progress. It is fitted with the pocket watch derived Calibre 98800 movement with an oversized regulator. The back glass is etched with Sincere logo and “SHH 2008 One of 20”.

SHH was a boutique store dedicated to high horology timepieces started by Sincere Watch Ltd based from Singapore. Each year, SHH collaborates with a some of the leading names in watchmaking to create limited editions to be sold exclusively through SHH boutiques.

A collector’s item. The original boxes & paper have been found but as we all know the material of these boxes always melt away and becomes a mess so it has been discarded but the documents and warranty card (More important) accompanies with this sale.
