Sicura Instalite Volta III watch

Retro Man — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 19:14:49 +0000

This is the Sicura Instalite Volta III, as seen in the Pieter Doensen collectible watch book. It was one of, if not the, first watch to have a light which one could press to see the time. This is cool enough, but it also has a wonderful direct time / jump hour mechanism.

This watch is so rare, and so collectible, that the value goes up each year. It’s also fashionable enough and interesting enough to wear daily. Watch your friends faces when you show them this amazing piece!!

Enjoy this watch…

Kienzle 70’s jump hour watch

This is a special watch. It’s more than a watch, it’s a complete collector’s edition chunk of 70’s nostalgia. I mean, look at the paperwork, look at the original plastic box – how COOL is this??

When you look at the watch itself you either love it or love it. And I love it!! It’s a watch of uniquely whopping dimensions! 40mm across, 42mm up and down and a chunky 11mm deep. This is a man watch, no doubting it!

It has the 70’s jump hour classic design, a great navy blue face and some unique fonts / artwork on the face. Has the time in normal & 24 hour time, the seconds turns continuously at the bottom of the watch…..oh, just look at the photos, this watch is too cool for school..!

Spaceman 7z watch by Andre Le Marquand in black

Yes, this is the missing family member of the Spaceman range, the rather sporty 7z edition. This watch has the lot. It’s big and chunky, measuring a whopping 47mm across! The face is amazing. The Spaceman logo on the face is roughly the same as it’s predecessors but it seems to have been modernised as the 1970’s weremoving on… The same goes for the “Spaceman 7z” writing on the face.

This is an automatic watch, and displays the time in standard fashion and the date in a nifty orange box at the 3 o’clock point. The face itself is black with silver and orange decoration. This watch GLEAMS! It has no discrepencies whatsover and could have been manufactured yesterday it’s so goddam perfect.

The black strap is mint condition, soft & comfortable and branded with the Spaceman name. The back of the watch is branded with the Spaceman “on the moon” figurine, as all the oval Spaceman watches are.

As if this wasn’t enough, the watch comes with the original Spaceman red pouch with groovy Spaceman name and logo on the front.

Enjoy these photos!

For me, brown was one of the THEE colours of the 1970’s. I think it’s fair to say that these autumnal hues have made a bit of a comeback, and this watch is more than a conversation piece – this will have people talking for months! Tell them about Andre Le Marquand, the designer of the watches, and how his range were in the NYC Museum of Art…. too cool for school this watch, it’s A1 mint NOS condition.
