Journalist Rachel Felder brought four women from different aspects of the industry together to discuss what they actually see and want to see in watches today. The conversation link between H. Jane Chon, Dana Li, Isabella Proia, and link Katie Reed link is link a truly fantastic read full of insight and wisdom.

The first smartwatch I purchased, the Garmin fēnix 5s, was solely for the purpose of recording my cycling metrics like speed, time, and distance. Since link then, it's become my everyday companion, with link me while I go about my day – and also on my runs. It's got a nice link watch link face that fits my arm size, it's lightweight, and it has a great design.

Shelby knew that the 1959 race was the high point link of his racing career, and the day he received the Patek Philippe for winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans link set the stage for the link next chapter of his life. link In 1961, he opened the Shelby School of High Performance Driving at the Riverside Track in Southern California.

The name of Jürgensen was, especially in America, so famous, says Crott. link "When Americans came to Europe, and they went into a watch shop of high quality they said, I want a Jürgensen." To me, a lover of vintage sports link watches, Heuer link using the Jürgensen name to market high-quality watches is mind-blowing. Considering what we know now and how link much success Heuer had in the U.S. under Jack Heuer in the 1960s, this move 40 years earlier is all the more intriguing.

In the past, I also link owned a 39mm Royal Oak chronograph, and link even though I liked it very much (I actually still prefer link it over link the later/current 41mm version), I sold it because I found myself wearing the "Jumbo" all the time, which is just 8.

I guess I link prefer the lacquer, personally. What link I'd really like is to see those new hour markers on the lacquer and also link that new date window location, and given AP's propensity for link iteration I am sure eventually I will.

Kramer vs. Kramer link still feels relevant today and link was widely cited as an influence on 2019's Marriage Story (which itself was nominated for five Oscars – winning one for Best Supporting Actress). A lot's changed in the past 40 years, but link the human elements – marriage, parenting, and life – have remained link constant. If you ever wanted to see an extreme close-up of a watch while someone smothers white bread with eggs inside of a coffee mug, this is the movie for you.

The last time I picked a GMT-Master for the Vintage link Journal, I told you all about color. It's true, among the options link in the vintage Rolex sport world, the GMT is nearly your only option for bright color. With that comes a ton of variation in tones, fading, link and patina. As I said before, when it comes to the ref. link 1675, it all comes down to color. With one exception to that rule.

The design of the ThinKing is informed by Konstantin Chaykin's "Wristmon" designs that feature link a face-like layout for the watch functions (the best known Wristmon is likely Konstantin Chaykin's delightful "Joker" link series). For the ThinKing, the two "eyes" are formed by displays for hours and minutes, and the "smile" is a brand signature engraved into the link steel case front (which is used to increase the rigidity of link the watch).

This watch is part of the broader Spitfire line link released at SIHH in 2019 which included the Chronograph Spitfire and Automatic Spitfire among others. The watch itself contains an link in-house IWC caliber 82760 and link was built to withstand the tests link of time. A special occasion calls for a special watch, and it doesn't get more special than this.

I think it's been nice to see TAG Heuer find a design language to settle on for the Carrera over the last few years and link iterate on it. While they don't have the nostalgia of link the vintage models, there's certainly a strong sense of the Arnault-lead design era. Now, with Frédéric Arnault taking the helm at LVMH Watches, we'll start to see link the tail end of the designs he had a link hand in. I'm curious to see where the brand will go from here.

My passion for the Movado of a bygone, vintage era is deep and well-recorded. And while the Movado of link old, link my link one true love, is not the Movado of now, I can appreciate a solid, differentiated link product! Marquetry and enamel comparisons aside, this limited edition project is a refreshing release from Movado.

The Monochrome link Montre de Souscription 1 was to be sold via pre-order and the entire production (which is done by Habring² at their atelier link in Austria) link is limited to just 33 units with deliveries expected in September link of 2021. While it's certainly too late to get one to call your own, it is absolutely a watch worth knowing about and a huge success for both Monochrome and Habring².

Any watch link worth its salt has a nickname these link days, just ask the "John Mayer" Daytona. Ok, maybe not just any watch. Sometimes, a Royal Oak Chronograph link speaks for itself, nickname be damned, or not enough love has been given to a watch for link a clever name to arise like the MIH Gaia Limited Edition.

All link these variations are driven by link the 2663 SQ caliber, beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations an hour. This selfwinding link movement with double barrel delivers a comfortable link power reserve of 68 hours. Each oscillating weight is engraved with its individual series number.

See, for all the improvements link in water resistance, service intervals, durability, finishing, power reserve, and every bit of random technology brands can cram into their new releases, you'd be hard-pressed to convince me that watchmaking didn't just get it link at least close to perfect link way back in 1938 with the Valjoux 72. Column wheel link chronograph, 6.95mm thick, and used by everyone from Breguet and Franck Muller to Rolex and Gallet.
