eponymously named super-shop of high end watches

When BaselWorld comes around it's hard to concentrate on anything but new watches.Or so we thought, until we saw this.We've mentioned the replica Corum 02120.102201 watch Explorer II 1655 (or McQueen Explorer, or Freccione Era Explorer, or Orange hand Explorer) many times, and we've always said it was one of our favorites.We thought we had found one of the best with this early straight hand version.Then one day recently we were cruising Twitter, as we so often do (Follow us please if you're not already!) and we saw that Bob Maron, who is not only Chairman of Antiquorum (an auction house with which we have a tremendous relationship)

but also the owner of an eponymously named super-shop of high end watches in LA, was wearing a McQueen Explorer II that was completely replica Corum 65120.019000 watch whited out.We had to find out more, so we did.It is a Steve McQueen Explorer II but instead of featuring the orange 24 hour hand that has made the watch a legend, it features a white one.In fact, everything on the face of this Explorer II is white.Rare? Yes, very.Cool? Oh yes, definitely.This watch comes on a custom "Bund" Shell cordovan strap from Attila Custom designs.

As you can see,
