Seiko are back on the radar since introducing their premium Grand Seiko line of watches to the North American market in the fall of 2010. Prior to this these were exclusively available at select Japanese retail stores. The Prospex models bridge the gap between entry level and the luxury Grand Seiko. This limited edition 200 meter diver showcases a super tough lab-grown sapphire crystal, one way timer bezel with 120 index clicks, screw on case-back, screw down 4:00 o’clock crown, extra large hands/hour markers all treated with bright luminous material, quick set calendar, durable shock-resistant 6R35 automatic winding movement with a long 70 hour power reserve. The all blacked out look of the PVD coating on stainless steel has been very popular with our customer looking for a modern spin on the classic Seiko Sumo look. Attached to the 45mm case is a super soft, rubber strap with steel sliding keeper, no need to worry about breaking this one. The 4:00 o’clock crown position is a great idea and makes for more comfortable experience compared to a large 3:00 o’clock position crown. This watch dates from the summer of 2020 and was purchased from a Canadian authorized Seiko agent. It has been lightly worn and shows only the slightest signs of use that are only visible under extreme scrutiny. Running great, keeping good time and comes with our one year warranty. Estate priced at $750.00 CAD. Stock #501-00454.

Concord La Scala 38mm diamond dial 14.C5.1891. $800.00 CAD. 501-00455

Concord was founded in Switzerland in 1908. The brand was created to design luxury timepieces for the burgeoning affluent American market. Often their watches incorporated precious metals and gems making them more than just high quality timekeepers. In 1915 Concord started to manufacture watches for jewellery greats Tiffany, Van Cleef & Arpels, and even Cartier. It was a Concord watch that was presented to Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin by President Truman during the World War II peace talks. During the quartz watch crisis that nearly crippled the Swiss watch industry in the 1970s, Concord thrived by designing and manufacturing some of the most expensive quartz watches ever to be seen on the market. In the 1970s and 80s their quartz technology allowed them to produce extremely thin and sleek designs; some measuring less than 2mm. Our latest estate watch is this sporty 38mm La Scala model ref: 14.C5.1891 with quartz chronograph movement. The first thing you notice on any watch is the dial, and this one doesn’t disappoint. The easy to read silver face measures a generous 28mm and showcases a beautiful guilloché patterned dial with diamond hour markers. It’s great to see Concord decided to use only high quality single cut natural diamonds instead of brilliant cuts. They have gone to extraordinary lengths matching the quality of the seven diamonds that grace this dial. Each one is a perfectly proportioned  round 17 facet design. Single cut diamonds are almost never used in the jewellery industry any more. Most manufacturers prefer to use common 57 facet brilliant cut diamonds. Concord has kept the tradition of using only single cut diamonds on their dials for good reason. Exceptionally well cut single cut diamonds reflect light better with a more prominent flash due to the larger facet size compared to even the best small brilliant cuts. Cutting geometry must be absolutely perfect with single cut diamonds to make them look so good. Most manufacturers use full cut diamonds as the cutting standards can be lower and still appear to match with decent if not extraordinary brilliance and dispersion. Attached to the stainless steel water resistant case (100 feet) is the original black alligator leather strap that remains in good condition. A signed Concord locking deployment buckle is functioning perfectly. This type of buckle not only offers ease of operation but greatly extends the life of the original strap. The precision Swiss quartz movement has a three hand display for the time, plus extra registers for the built in chronograph with lap time capability. The movement also has a time zone feature allowing rapid change of hours without affecting the minutes or seconds. The rapid hour chance can also adjust the date display forward or back. A lab-grown sapphire crystal offers perfect optics and is completely blemish free. Comes with the original inner blond wooden box (missing the pillow) and white cardboard outer box. The watch is running flawlessly and comes with our complimentary one year warranty. Estate priced at $800.00 CAD. Stock #501-00445.

18 karat, 11.9 gram, purse pendant with imitation gems, made in Italy. $2,250.00 CAD. 231-00459

From what I hear and see, purses are a thing, and I mean an expensive thing. Looking at the Hermès and Louis Vuitton  website, a woman’s hand bag can easily cost $5,000.00. This adorable little pendant would make a great accessory for the lady who appreciates a finely crafted purse and/or jewellery item. This pendant has been crafted from premium quality 18 karat Italian gold and features multiple components like a hinged handle, large bail, and a function snap-to-close lock. The closure works exactly like the full sized version but on miniature scale. This little purse measures 21.1mm wide. The backside of the pendant showcases an intricate pierced floral pattern. This filigree detail would allow the release of fragrance from a perfumed strip of fabric inside but would leave little else in terms of practical storage room. Curiously, the Italian manufacturer selected to hand set blue, green, red, and colourless lab-grown imitation stones rather than genuine diamonds and precious gems. I suspect that when this item was made gold traded at a fraction of its current price, adding high quality genuine gems would have pushed the price point. Now that the price of gold is over $6,000.00 Canadian per ounce, the cost of using real stones wouldn’t increase the price nearly as much, at least in terms of a percentage of total cost. This is a substantial pendant weighing just under 12 grams. It looks like new and shows no wear on any of the moving parts or joints. We feel the top bail has been added to the handle at some point, it will accommodate a chain or cord of up to 3.6mm diameter. If you remove the bail you can run an almost any size necklace through the handle. This unique pendant can be worn on either side, front or back and is estate priced at $2,550.00 CAD. Stock #231-00459.

1992, 1998 Tag Heuer S/el (Link) his & hers S95.206K WG1320-2. $600.00, $400.00 CAD. 520-00202 505-00201

His and hers retro Tag Heuer Sports Elegance watches. Few watches can define the look of a brand like the Tag Heuer S/el or Sports Elegance. For close to 40 years, the S/el has been the softer looking of the mostly pure sports creations from Tag Heuer. Today they are simply known as the “Link”, paying homage to the S-shaped wishbone bracelet component that is really the single most unique characteristic. Smooth and easy to wear has always been the attraction. Even the way the links are constructed is innovative. Each link section appears solid, without a visible rivet connecting side to side and each link to the next. Unless you know the trick you’d swear these links are not adjustable for different wrist sizes. The clean rivetless look adds a sophisticated level of finish without comparison. 38 and 29mm case size is smaller by modern standards but for the 1990s these watches bridged the gap between a pure sports watch and dressy. Today these sizes are perfect for the average wrist size gentleman or a woman looking for an easy to read fun watch but not one that is over the top in proportions. An ultra reliable Swiss-made quartz movement with calendar and second hand add some utility to the design. Threaded crown/case back, rotating timer bezel and locking buckle are features this dressy model retains alongside its pure sports siblings. These examples ref:S95.206K and WG1320-2 date from 1992 (gents) and 1998 and are both in very good condition for 30 year old watches. All the usual areas that typically display some wear display a little, more so on the ladies watch. The coin edged crown shows just the slightest wear on the men’s. Even the heavy gold plated links look good; just 2 links on the most prone area for wear and tear on the larger watch are beginning to show the stainless steel base. The ladies gold plated links are showing a few more worn areas. The rotating bezels along with the case and bracelet display the original high polish/satin finishes. Early S/el examples in this sort of condition don’t come around very often. The original anthracite tritium dials and hands are the very good condition. The lab-grown sapphire crystals are both in perfect condition, not showing even the slightest scuff. Including a one year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty, these classic Tag Heuer time capsules are estate priced at $600.00 (gents) 520-00202 and $400.00 for the ladies 520-00201.
