oh wow!

I didn't knew this one. I know the platinum one with platinum and black dial. This one is just amazing! It is not for sale by any coincidence? thx, Dirk

It was for sale some 8 years ago... But from time to time, some are spotting. Americas is not bad at all, either. [nt]

What is the used technique for the Map? Is it like the 5131 or GP JH?

Champlevé. [nt]

An unmissable timepiece in the horological history for me. If such a specimen is unreachable for me, I know I will own a Mercator one day. And my conviction has been reinforced after I saw the Mike H platinum one

Mike H's specimen is great. But these champlevé enamel are a step above. [nt]

A work or art!

By: sham1 : February 1st, 2018-04:29

Do they do one for Asia too?

login to reply

Not as a regular timepiece if I remember well (America and Europe are the regular ones). But, I know that many special orders have been made. Maybe one for King of Thailand if I'm right (not 100% sure)

By: Alkiro1 : February 1st, 2018-04:39

You should find a lot of different iterations of this Mercator on the Hour Lounge website my friend. Best wishes Alkiro

Amazing

By: vitalsigns : February 1st, 2018-06:21

I've only previously seen these colored-dial Mercators with a white/crème ocean. This edition with the light blue ocean is incredible. Is there an Americas version with the blue ocean as well? Thank you for sharing this beauty with us. Cheers, John

I agree. To me, it is the Vacheron I like. The only downside is that I would have loved to see a better finished rotor... [nt]

Poetic is right.

By: TheMadDruid : February 1st, 2018-08:27

The dials are gorgeous, but the idea behind them-maps of discovery-makes them what they are. Your photos of these watches are wonderful.

When the watch is nice, the picture cannot be ugly. ;) [nt]

I recall a yellow gold dial

By: jonrus : February 5th, 2018-21:16

It had the entire map of Russia. I think had some cyrillic writing... cannot be 100% on the last fact, since it’s been several years ago. Definitely before the Russian boutique was opened.
