This Week in Watches: November 21, 2014

Ceramica
The lengthy name of Panerai’s new timepiece — the Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days Chrono Flyback Automatic Ceramica — obviates the need for a description. Fair deal. panerai.com

See-Through Art Deco
The Vintage 1945 Large Date Moonphase Mechanics of Art Deco from G-P opens the movement up under a sapphire dial. girard-perregaux.com

Skinny Skeleton
The pre-SIHH releases are coming fast and furious. Parmigiani is the latest to give a sneak peek with its new Tonda 1950 Squelette, which is as slim and scantily clad as a Victoria’s Secret model. parmigiani.ch

A True Beater
In watch parlance, a “beater” is that watch you wear with no fear of damaging it, for rough duty. British brand Schofield has added a so-named watch to its lineup, hand built from bronze, satin steel or a gorgeous blued titanium, all with new old-stock ETA movements inside. Go on, be hard on it. schofieldwatchcompany.com

Drakes for HODINKEE
Once again, HODINKEE has teamed up with British style icon Drakes of London to create limited-edition fashion accessories inspired by iconic watches. Just in time for the holidays, a pocket square that pays tribute to designer Gerald Genta and a tie that calls to mind Tudor‘s winning Heritage Black Bay Blue. hodinkee.com
