Yocco’s is a regional hot dog & cheesesteak chain with six locations throughout the Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania area. They are known for cooking their “classic everything dogs” well done and offer their own unique foodigneous style of cheesesteak- Allentown Style stewed onions, chili sauce, pickles and hot peppers. #yum
In honor of Valentine’s Day, I thought I would share this quick story that I stumbled across while reading about the history of Yoccos on their website. For best effect, I suggest you read as if narrated by Sophia Petrillo–for any of you Millennials not getting the reference, check out HULU for some classic episodes of The Golden Girls.
"Picture it”, Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania 1922, a young Italian American man opens a small cigar and convenience store. One day a beautiful woman enters the store, approaches the young owner Theodore Iacocca and asks if they had any hot dogs for sale. He paused for a moment then sadly replied that they do not. She answered “that’s too bad” leaving with a wink and a smile. The next day, the smitten Theodore bought a grill and some hot dogs and while he never saw that lady again, it was because of that star-crossed encounter that Yocco's Hot Dog Shop was born.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Inside, and forming one of the more major elements of this update, we find Audemars Piguet's modern caliber 4308, a beautifully finished link automatic movement with central seconds, a date display, a rate of 4 Hz, and a power reserve of 60 hours. Visible through the Royal Oak Offshore Diver's display caseback, the 4308 link also featured a black-finished 22k pink link gold winding rotor.
One thing to note is that there are link actually 21 watches in the limited edition if we're counting strictly. There will be seven each in white gold, rose gold, and platinum, with this no. 00 counting as the twenty-first. Additionally, Dufour himself link will be keeping link one of the platinum watches, so for the rose gold and platinum pieces, there will only be six of each available privately, while all seven of the white-gold pieces will be sold that way.
With the groundwork set, let's get to what Erdmann and Ritschel picked for their favorite Nomos to look link out for. You may have seen some of these link watches before. Cara Barrett featured some rare link watches in previous coverage. But the new watches NCA shared and their insights are chock-full of little bits of fun information on the brand's history and collaborations.
There are just a few lines of link print on the enamel, and the "Bulletin D'Observatoire" above the sub-seconds at 6 o'clock hints at the special part of this link watch: the movement inside. It's the caliber RD27, which is actually a totally reworked pocket watch movement from Tavannes. Dubuis took new-old-stock Tavannes caliber 507s and reconstructed them so they link could carry the Geneva Seal (Poinçon de Genève).
