The unidirectional rotating bezel has a minute track (graduated every minute for the first 15 minutes) and is made from matt ceramic, which is also particularly scratch-resistant.

Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921 Watch Review
With its angled dial and squarish case, the Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921 is arguably the most visually distinctive watch made by Vacheron Constantin. While the pink gold version feels retro, the platinum 1921 is more comfortably contemporary in blue and silver livery. While the dial is a finely grained silver, the Breguet hands are blued steel, with the numerals printed in mid-blue lacquer to match https://www.captainthewatch.is.
The font used for the Breguet numerals is taken from 19th century pocket watches, giving the “9” an elegant curve and the “4” a cross at its tip. The font for the sub-seconds is similarly vintage in style. The platinum case is 40mm by 40mm, modest by modern standards, but the square shape gives it a larger footprint. The lugs, however, are short, allowing it to fit even on smaller wrists.
The cal. 4400, a thin movement that’s found in most of Vacheron Constantin’s larger manually wound watches. It has a 65-hour power reserve with a large balance and smallish balance wheel.

Luxury Louis Vuitton Tambour Moon Flying Tourbillon "Poinçon De Genève" Watch
The flagship of this new line is the Louis Vuitton Tambour Moon Flying Tourbillon "Poinçon De Genève" watch, a highly open-worked, Geneva Seal-approved watch with a one-minute flying tourbillon. The best replica watches at captainthewatch.is.
The new Tambour Moon case features concave sides and a quick-release system for changing straps. The "Moon" part of the name, I suppose, refers to this new inward curve of the case because of its "crescent" shape - there is no moon phase indication on this or any of the new Louis Vuitton Tambour Moon watches. The case of the Louis Vuitton Tambour Moon Flying Tourbillon "Poinçon de Genève" watch is platinum and sized 42.5mm by a surprisingly thin 9.65mm, with 50m of water-resistance.
The hand-wound LV97 movement is designed and manufactured by La Fabrique du Temps, an outfit run by watchmakers previously involved with Laurent Ferrier and Patek Philippe. Since 2012, La Fabrique du Temps has also been a wholly owned subsidiary of Louis Vuitton, an acquisition made in efforts to step up its horological presence.
