Friday on DL ran from an $83,150 chronometer signed inside the case by the man who cut its dial to a small white router with $30 off. Two limited chronographs, a hand-painted moon and a shearling-lined clog fill the middle of the day.
The full day follows, prices and links attached.
The engine-turner who signed his name inside a Swiss chronometer
Zenith’s G.F.J. Calibre 135 Double Signed pairs a 39mm 18k rose gold case with dial work by California engine-turner J.N. Shapiro, whose name goes inside the watch alongside Zenith’s. The run is 25 pieces, COSC certified, with 72 hours of power reserve.
Twenty-five pieces, and the signature is part of the watch.
A moonphase where the moon is painted by hand
Farer’s Halley wraps a hand-wound Sellita SW288-1 in a 38.5mm cushion case, and paints each moonphase disc by hand in Switzerland, laying a textured yellow moon into a starry sky. On a leather strap it runs $2,242 through Farer’s own store.
No two moons leave the bench quite alike.
A racing helmet, rebuilt as a black guilloché chronograph
The Czapek Crossroads Lightning cuts its dial by hand in an alloy of gold, platinum, palladium and silver, runs a 5 Hz COSC chronograph with 65 hours of reserve, and stops the run at 18 pieces in a 41.5mm steel case. The price is $38,270 before taxes, direct from Czapek.
Made to order, at six to nine months a piece.
Shearling inside the Boston, a Western buckle on the Arizona
Birkenstock by Etro lines the Boston clog with sand-colored shearling over a full-grain suede upper in Mink, finished with a Western buckle and a Pegasus-branded rivet, at $630. The Arizona joins the collaboration for the first time at $590, in the same Mink with two Western buckles.
One color, two silhouettes, and the footbed stays cork-latex.
One small white box puts Wi-Fi 7 across 2,000 square feet
The eero 7 is the most affordable way into Wi-Fi 7 in the eero line, covering up to 2,000 square feet with support for more than 120 connected devices, two 2.5 GbE ports and Thread and Zigbee built in. Amazon has the 1-pack at $139.99, down $30 from $169.99.
The day’s one clean saving, and it covers the whole house.
