VintageVDB 2011 (first look)

By TLex Whilst I was at the Baselworld watch fair I was fortunate enough to meet up with the very talented Stephan Obst of Vintage VDB, who kindly told me all about his latest project, VDB 2011. Here's what I know: VDB 2011 will be 100% made in Germany; not handmade / handcrafted as the VDB I, VDB II and VDB Combo etc. but machined. This is because the VDB 2011 is going to affordable. It's exact price is yet to be decided, but it will be sub 1'000euro.

The VDB 2011 won't be a big watch in terms of its overall diameter, I think just 42mm, but it will be solid with a thick case, 18mm or so and a huge 28mm lug width. If you look carefully at the hour hand of the VDB 2011 you will notice that its base extends out to form a fourth hand, which can be used for a second time-zone. The watch will be built in a single run of only 200 pieces. Stay tuned for plenty more renderings and an in-depth look at the VDB 2011 . . .

PORSCHE DESIGN P'6780 Diver PVD

By TLex Who better to introduce the new PVD version of the PORSCHE DESIGN P'6780 Diver to me than CEO, Patrick Schwarz and Technical Director, Patrick Kury, who were kind enough to do an interview for OceanicTime last year. The new PVD finish, which is well routed in Porsche Design's watchmaking history (in 972 Porsche Design created the world's first completely black chronograph) adds further utility to the P'6780, whereas the blue of the minute hand and inner ring take us to the ocean, whereupon descending to the depths blue is always the last color to remain visible.

CLERC Hydroscaph LE Automatic Chronograph

By TLex Its grade 5 titanium case is made up of a whopping 103 separate components; the new Hydroscaph Chrono might have a reduced 500m depth rating to accommodate its specialized Chrono pushers, but with an increased overall thickness and higher bezel stature the Hydroscaph Chrono is looking even more like a diving tool than it's 1'000m sibling.
