Watches of the Week: Instagram Round-Up

TrueFacet Holiday Shops Sale

With so many beautiful watch photos on Instagram, it’s hard to choose just four! After much consideration, we finally chose our favorite snaps from the week — check them out below. For jewelry and watch photos from TrueFacet, follow us at @TrueFacet.

1. Vintage Cartier
cartier@phillipswatchesThis Cartier watch will be up for sale at the Geneva Watch Auction in November. This incredible piece is extremely rare with an interesting story.

It’s an Audemars Piguet minute repeater from 1929 produced for Henry Haven Windsor Jr., son of the founder of Popular Mechanics Magazine. Audemars Piguet only produced about 35 minute repeating watches between 1906 and the 1920s. The watch was retailed by Cartier.

2. Rolex GMT-Master II

@luxuriousballerThe GMT-Master II is a Rolex icon, and we can never get enough of this cool design. We especially love the black and gold two-tone for a luxurious finish. This is the perfect day to night watch for any occasion.

The original GMT-Master was produced for Pan American airways so pilots could tell the time in two time zones. The GMT-Master II is an updated version that made setting the time easier.

3. Michele Serein

@lcbstyleMichele watches are an anomaly in the world of women’s fashion watches. These fashionable and elegant watches feature a Swiss movement and top-quality specifications that are hard to find in other women’s fashion watch brands.

We love the Serein from Michele. It’s large, rounded dial and roman numerals remind us of the Ballon Bleu at a lower price point.

4. Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time

@watchcollectinglifestyleJaeger-LeCoulre unveiled the new edition of their Geophysic Universal Time at the Hong Kong Watches & Wonder exhibition at the end of September. The original dates back to 1958 and has a remarkable history to boot — it was worn by the first men to the North Pole.

The new model features a beautiful world map on the dial. It tells time in all 24 timezones and jump second feature.
