In 1899 he was with Belgica Expedition to be one of the first persons to reach the Antarctic. He became the first to travel the Northwest Passage in his ship Gioa in 1903-06. On December 14, 1911, Amundsen and his team stood at the South Pole to become the first man ever reach the place. His achievement was an incredible masterpiece which deserved eternalizing on amazing Villemont Watch

  9. Stuhrling Original From Chinese Watch Industry Wiki Jump to: navigation, search Stuhrling Original was founded by Max Stuhrling IV in 2002 in partnership with George J. von Burg. Stuhrling watches are assembled by von Burg-owned facilities in Switzerland and Hong Kong. Many of the Hong Kong assembled watches use Chinese mechanical movements supplied by PTS Resources. Although often promoting their somewhat nebulous Swiss heritage (Max Stuhrling's eponymous ancestor was a respected 18th century master watchmaker), Stuhrling Original are notable for being one of the first international brands to openly admit to using Chinese movements in their watches. The first Chinese-powered Stuhrling watches used movements branded 'Lexus' to give the impression of exclusivity, although they appear to have been stock items probably from Hangzhou Watch Company. The quality of these was often poor and harmed the reputation of Stuhrling and Chinese watches more generally. Their more recent Chinese mechanical watches have been largely free of such quality issues. In the October 2009 edition of Europastar, Yossi Gleiberman, CEO of Stuhrling stated: "More than 50 per cent of our line is automatic, using movements from Seagull and Shanghai." Representatives of Stuhrling, such as Larry Magens, have mentioned the 'finishing' of Chinese movements in the Hong Kong facility, which implies the assembly and improvement on an ebauche. However their claim to send 'rejected' movements back to the supplier subsequent to this finishing process suggests that in this context, 'finishing' amounts to no more than the regulating and checking of complete movements.
  10. Stuhrling mechanical movements seem to be Sea-Gull products
  11. Cal. 5040.D 4.40 mm Swiss Made, 13 Jewels / Gilt Swiss Parts, 6 Jewels / NickelThe Ronda chronograph Startech movements are some of the most advanced and affordable multihour chronograph timepieces. Some of the most affordable manufactures who use these movements are Invicta , Jacque Lemans, and other for sure
  12. Good point...sorry......it is almost the holy grail. My point should have been that It would be the perfect replica if the movement was an excellent copy as well. It is indeed a beautiful and very very desireable watch (and the most important part, the movement, is genuine)
  13. it makes sound so utterly insignificant,,,,
  14. wow that strap is excellent....watch is transformed into soething more exciting Urkuk
  15. quartz could be non-asian I guess...but mechanical ones chinese for sure
  16. obviously the movements are Chinese...look at the price
  17. so these are made from the same source as some of the reps
  18. :wub: stunning indeed. It is one of my favorite looks. Holy grail. (guess the only drawback is the movement?)
