This is a Stop Watch that comes with the Porsche 911 GT3.
A watch that you have to pay for USD$400,000! Of course, it comes with a better package, "your name on back of it"... but the Watch itself may be just a simple stop watch of not more than US$200!

Van Cleef Arpel's Signature Timepiece: Pierre Arpels

Van Cleef & Arpels’ Signature Timepiece: Pierre Arpels
This is an Iconic Model created by Pierre Arpels in 1949, this timepiece celebrates the innovative and Aesthetic spirit of its creator. Combining unique style with unequalled comfort and practicality, the Pierre Arpels is a masterpiece timepiece of understated elegance. Van Cleef & Arpels’ signature timepiece features a round case in yellow gold adorned with a discreet central support, a white lacquer dial and an alligator strap. Diameter: 32mm, Strap: Alligator, Movement was in fact made by Gerald Genta* marked GG. With an astonishing 35 jewels, 4 position adjusted timing on the balancing wheel, off-centre rotor, ultra thin movement cased in solid 18KT Gold. The thickness is more or less the thickness of a Hong Kong Five-Dollar-Coin.
Interesting to see that the Similarity of the watch design, in fact that is the Gerald Genta Success 2719, looking at the fonts of the dial, that is exactly the same of an Audemars Piguet… So can I say that VCA bought the watch movement from GG and the dial purchase AP to form the Pierre Arpels or the fonts of "Automatic" is just an coincidence!?

Most of the VDA movement is Quartz, this is some of the few Pieces made with GG Automatic Movement.

This is a very fine watch for your next meeting with your CEO who may be wearing a cheapo plastic watch of 32K quartz crystal powered by a 20 cents LSI chip, or a party with CY Leung, or meeting Mr. Xi in Chung Nam Hoi. But definitely not the watch for your cruise trip or any Expedition in Mt. Kilimanjaro…That would be much better to be a Rolex Submariner or even A Date Day!

Note*
Gerald Genta created the legendary designs of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak that saved the Company in 1972, another Design made for Patek Philips, the Nautilus In 1976, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas 222, IWC Ingeniuer … These are still the flagship model of these Big Four in Switzerland.

International Watch Company Schaffhausen Vintage of the 50's

An Awesome vintage 1950’s IWC Schaffhausen black dial manual Winding for men.

The case is almost flawless after 60 years. The Movement was made by IWC. A watch of style, and many of the Swiss brands like Hamilton, Titoni, girard-perregaux and Omega is producing their best memorable Retro of the 50’s nowadays but this is the real vintage of the IWC.
I like the bold big hands! Interesting to see the gold plated bearing bevel inserts. Now, only few exquisite brands making this now.

This Watch Sold on 10 April 2013 with $5,000

Remarks, Similar watch in Stainless steel manual winding is selling at Yen 118,000 in Japan.
another gold automatic IWC is now selling at Yen 278,000.
