WatchBox Reviews

Rolex, Patek Philippe, IWC, and other top luxury watch brands take over YouTube with “Wake Up with Watches” and host Tim Mosso.

As usual Rolex watches take center stage. A white gold Rolex Daytona appears in a rare configuration with a full alligator leather strap, deployant clasp, and sunburst metallic anthracite dial with radially arrayed Arabic numerals. The immortal Rolex Datejust likewise appears in an unconventional combination of two-tone steel and yellow gold, a domed gold bezel, a roulette date, and a Rolex Oyster bracelet. A Rolex Submariner “Hulk” in black PVD and a Rolex Explorer 36mm also are on the table.

Two exceptional Patek Philippe perpetual calendar chronographs showcase two generations of the Geneva watch giant’s legendary compound complication. A third series 3970R in rose gold sports its trim 36.3mm case and vaunted Lemania 2310-based Patek Philippe CH 27-70 chronograph movement with classical elegance. The imposing 41mm platinum 2018 Patek Philippe 5270P strikes a more commanding stance on the wrist, and this watch’s celebrated salmon dial in rose gold tones illustrates why many watch buyers consider the 5270P to be the most desirable of this model line.

Audemars Piguet makes a cameo in the form of a rare full-bracelet stainless steel Royal Oak Dual Time. This 39mm AP Royal Oak exhibits the dial revisions of the 2016 model year on its blue galvanized Grande Tapisserie dial. Watch collectors who travel often will find that the Jaeger-LeCoultre-powered Royal Oak Dual Time is both iconic and an indispensable business class companion.

IWC of Schaffhausen quietly ranks among Tim’s favorite watch brands, and he has selected several exceptional and uncommon models to illustrate his passion.

The Plexiglas-capped IWC Portuguese Automatic 2000 is a 42mm platinum limited edition of 250 pieces that launched in the year 2000; IWC reference “5000” sports the first version of the now legendary IWC 7-day automatic caliber that became the 50000, 51000, and 52000 in subsequent revisions. As an IWC watch purists, Tim celebrates the 1985 Da Vinci of designer Hanno Burtscher and watchmaker Kurt Klaus; this famed hinge-lug perpetual calendar chronograph makes an appearance in white gold.

Additional love for IWC watchmaking arrives courtesy of a 46mm Portofino Hand Wound Eight Days with steel case and blue dial. The 2019 IWC Pilot’s Watch Bronze for The Rake and Revolution magazine impresses with perfect proportioning, a no-date military green dial, and a limited edition NATO strap cut from eighteenth century Russian Reindeer hide by George Cleverly of Britain.
