Raffi Boyadjian | Rolex Sea-Dweller ref. 1665, 1967

That same year saw concurrent launches of the first self-winding wrist chronographs. These included models from Heuer (the Monaco), Breitling (Chrono-Matic), Zenith (El Primero), and Seiko (the 6139). This was arguably one of the most important developments in modern watchmaking history. Incredibly, it was soon followed by another major development — one that would ultimately cripple the industry for the next decade. In the last week of 1969, on December 25, Seiko unveiled the Astron, the world’s first quartz watch. This was a major win for the Japanese watchmaker, who had spent most of the decade in fierce competition with a consortium of top Swiss brands — including Patek Philippe, Piaget, and Omega — to develop the first quartz wristwatch. The Swiss version, the Beta 21, made its debut the following year at the Basel Fair, but that’s a story for another day.

Bolsas em NY operam sem direção única, em dia sem catalisadores fortes

Avanço de covid-19 segue no radar, assim como impasse sobre novo pacote de estímulos à economia; proximidade de eleição pode trazer mais volatilidade Os índices acionários em Nova York começaram a sessão de negócios desta quarta-feira sem direção única, com o Dow Jones operando em alta, o S&P 500 oscilando em torno da estabilidade e o Nasdaq apresentando um viés negativo. Os agentes financeiros buscam catalisadores positivos para dar continuidade ao rali de 2020 para as os índices acionários em Nova York. Por ora, o aumento no número de casos de covid-19 nos Estados Unidos e na Europa, os impasses políticos em Washington e a proximidade da corrida eleitoral no país têm dificultado o caminho das ações em Wall Street a novos recordes, registrados pela última vez no início do mês. Perto de 11h10, o Dow Jones operava em leve alta de 0,10%, aos 27.314,62 pontos, enquanto o S&P 500 recuava 0,28%, aos 3.306,15 pontos. O índice eletrônico Nasdaq registrava queda de 0,77%, a 10.879,28 pontos. Kearney Ferguson/NYSE "Os dados nacionais de covid-19 nos EUA nos últimos dias são inequivocamente ruins. O número de casos confirmados ontem foi apenas 1,7% maior do que há uma semana, mas seguiu-se a um salto de 55% na segunda-feira. Na semana passada, o número de novos casos confirmados diários aumentou 14,5% em comparação com a semana anterior", afirmou o economista-chefe da Pantheon Macroeconomics, Ian Shepherdson, em uma atualização diária sobre a pandemia no mundo. Segundo ele, a média móvel de sete dias de pessoas hospitalizadas nos EUA ainda está caindo, mas provavelmente a tendência não vai durar. "A tendência da taxa de declínio está desacelerando implacavelmente e as hospitalizações aumentaram acentuadamente ontem, após um pequeno aumento na segunda-feira. O número médio de mortes em sete dias ainda está caindo, mas não podemos mais ter certeza de que isso continuará assim", afirmou. Agentes financeiros temem que, a exemplo de outros países Europeus, novas medidas de restrição de atividade tenham que ser impostas nos Estados Unidos, o que dificultaria ainda mais o processo de recuperação econômica do país. A situação é ainda mais preocupante dada a resistência dos congressistas americanos em aprovar um novo pacote de estímulos à economia. Ontem, o presidente do Federal Reserve (Fed, o banco central dos EUA), Jerome Powell, e o secretário do Tesouro, Steven Mnuchin, afirmaram à Câmara dos Deputados que mais ajuda fiscal seria necessária para dar suporte à recuperação econômica. A proximidade das eleições nos EUA é um fator apontado por agentes financeiros como possível catalisador de novos eventos de volatilidade no mercado. “Faltam apenas algumas semanas para a eleição presidencial dos EUA e a disputa acirrada, combinada com preocupações sobre fraudes de votação por correspondência, gerou rumores de que quem perder contestará o resultado, levando a um período potencialmente prolongado de incerteza”, disse Raffi Boyadjian, analista-sênior da corretora XM, em nota. Após terem sofrido um forte movimento de vendas na segunda-feira, as ações do segmento da indústria, que têm forte correlação com as perspectivas de crescimento econômico dos EUA, se recuperam nesta quarta-feira. Há pouco, o segmento subia cerca de 1%, na maior alta entre os 11 setores do S&P 500. Outros segmentos de destaque eram financeiro e o de consumo discricionário, também ligados aos fundamentos da economia. Entre as ações individuais, os papéis da Nike disparam mais de 9%, puxando os ganhos do índice Dow Jones, após a companhia ter divulgado que suas vendas se recuperaram durante o verão do hemisfério norte. Já a Tesla deve ter outro pregão difícil. As ações da fabricante de carros elétricos caem mais de 5%, após perdas de 5% na sessão de ontem. Os investidores se desapontaram depois que o CEO Elon Musk disse que pode levar três anos para que as inovações apresentadas no evento “Dia da Bateria”, ontem, reduzam significativamente os custos desses componentes. A meta de Musk de produzir 20 milhões de veículos por ano também veio sem um cronograma ou orçamento precisos. Bolsas em NY operam sem direção única, em dia sem catalisadores fortes

European stocks dropped on Thursday on worries the global economy won’t rapidly get better after the lockdowns from the coronavirus pandemic.

The Stoxx Europe600 SXXP,. -1.88% fell 1.6%, after a rough Wall Street session following the grim outlook from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

The German DAX. DAX,. -1.81% dropped 1.5%, the French CAC40 PX1,. -1.89% fell 1.8%and the U.K. FTSE100 UKX,. -2.53% skidded 2.1%.

Through Wednesday’s trade, the Stoxx 600 is still up 19%from the lows of March.

“[Powell’s] words were a blow to the optimism that had actually been integrating in the markets over the last few weeks as the relaxation of social distancing limitations in the United States and in other places had actually generated expectations of a V-shaped healing from the virus crisis,” stated Raffi Boyadjian, senior financial investment expert at XM.

As countries gradually open, one concern is that while the break out curve has actually flattened it has actually not decreased, which leaves little room for governments to navigate if infections accelerate.

Geopolitical tensions were apparent as the U.S. accused China of attempting to take vaccine details while France objected to one of its drugmakers, Sanofi. SAN,. -2.02%, saying it would provide U.S. top priority to a coronavirus vaccine.

Of stocks on the relocation, Jerónimo Martins. JMT,. -1324% shares dropped 13?ter the operator of grocery stores in Portugal, Poland and Colombia cut its dividend and withdrew assistance. Experts at Jefferies said April sales were “weak,” especially at its Pingo Doce and Ara stores.

Straumann Group. STMN,. -1002% dropped 10%as the Swiss oral items company announced 660 task cuts.

Hargreaves Lansdown. HL,. 3.61% climbed up 5%as the U.K. financial investment firm reported net new business of ₤ 4.0 billion in the 4 months ending April 30.

Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. YM00,. -0.36% fell 28 points, ahead of out of work claims data due at 8: 30 a.m. Eastern.

8月27日外汇交易提醒

周三(8月26日)美元指数在月末仓位调整之际下跌，投资者关注鲍威尔在杰克逊霍尔年会上就货币政策框架的评估结果发表讲话，大宗商品货币上涨，加元兑美元触及七个月高点。在风险偏好情绪中，纽元领涨G-10货币。

美元指数下跌0.12%至92.90；稍早触及日高93.37，此前数据显示美国7月耐久财订单增幅超预期。鲍威尔将就美联储政策框架评估发表讲话，投资者关注他是否会暗示将把通胀目标调整为一个平均水平。

网络经纪公司XM的高级投资分析师Raffi Boyadjian称，以一段时间内的平均通胀率为目标，而不是设定2%的固定目标，可能意味着通胀率将在更长时间内保持在低位，如果美联储证实这一举措，美元在短期内实现实质性反弹的可能性将微乎其微。

不过，外界认为美联储仍在敲定评估的细节，预计将在9月的会议上宣布评估结果。如果鲍威尔周四没有暗示…

Raffi Boyadjian | The State of the Global Watch Industry II: Four Emerging Trends

Raffi Boyadjian | It’s been about a month since we published the first “State of the Global Watch Industry.” The goal of that article was to provide answers to the five most common questions asked by the Chrono24 community during the COVID-19 crisis. A lot has changed since the first update, and the situation is evolving on both a local and global scale. We’ve continued to compile and analyze data from user interactions on our website in the intervening period.

Raffi Boyadjian | 101 Reasons Why Watches Are Great: Marking a Personal Achievement

Watch enthusiasts the world over love timepieces for their technical innovations and designs. The reason behind buying a watch, however, is usually far more personal. Sometimes, it’s to mark a specific achievement or life event that we would like to remember, no matter how big or small. Every watch tells a story of people and moments that goes above and beyond the time it displays.

Raffi Boyadjian | Charles Lindbergh and the Hour Angle Watch

One of the earliest pilot-specific complications was developed at Longines. In 1927, the Swiss manufacturer partnered with American navigation specialist and aviation pioneer Philip Van Horn Weems to created the so-called Weems Second Setting Watch. The timepiece features a rotating disc in the center of the dial that can be synchronized with a time signal. The watch went on to inspire the development of the famous Longines Lindbergh Hour Angle watch in 1931 and still remains a cornerstone of the Longines portfolio to this day.

In 1927, Charles Lindbergh approached Longines in the aftermath of his historic transatlantic flight. He wanted to develop a watch that pilots could use to calculate their current position over the open sea — thus, the Hour Angle watch was born. Together with a sextant and astronomical tables, navigators were able to use the watch to determine their current longitude and latitude. The Lindbergh Hour Angle watch likewise remains a part of the Longines catalog.

Slide Rule and Drift Angle | Raffi Boyadjian

Before computers made their way into cockpits, pilots had to manually calculate their course, fuel consumption, rates of descent and climb, and flight path deviations. This was done using a slide rule for multiplication and division as well as figuring squares and square roots and solving logarithmic and trigonometric equations.

Raffi Boyadjian | Watches With Altimeters and Compasses

You’d be hard pressed to find a cockpit without an altimeter. It tells pilots their current altitude as well as whether the aircraft is ascending or descending. This is obviously essential information during flights with poor visibility. Several timepieces are also equipped with this feature. Most manufacturers have turned to electronic measuring instruments, such as the watches in Tissot’s T-Touch line. However, others have created fully mechanical altimeters. Such is the case with Swiss manufacturer Oris’ Big Crown Altimeter. This watch has a small metal capsule within it that is similar to the kind found in an aneroid barometer. The capsule reacts to changes in air pressure and expands or contracts accordingly. This movement is then transferred to a needle that displays the pressure and corresponding height on a scale.

Raffi Boyadjian | What distinguishes a pilot’s watch from other timepieces?

Pilot’s watches came to be as a result of early pilots needing a way to tell time without taking their hands off the flight controls. The simplest solution was to mount a pocket watch on a strap they could wear around their wrist. Watches like the Cartier Santos from 1904 were a sensation in the heyday of the pocket watch, ushering in the era of the wristwatch.

But the strap isn’t the only factor that has maintained the popularity of pilot’s watches. These timepieces are considered robust, reliable, and highly-functional tool watches. They often feature streamlined, minimalist dials with contrasting dark backgrounds and light numerals, hands, and indices, making them readable in varied lighting conditions.

Pilot’s Watches With Unusual Functions

Raffi Boyadjian | The advent of aviation at the start of the 20th century gave way to a whole new genre of watch: the pilot’s watch. Some models feature additional functions you won’t find on everyday watches. Find out more about these unusual features and whether these watches make worthwhile purchases.
