We faced many challenges that required the development of no less than five patents as we link had link to make link it resistant enough for everyday use and to simply fit all functional watch components most of which we had to reinvent and resize into a 2mm case.

The platinum case is link 43.5mm x link 12.64mm and the movement is the Cartier caliber 9801 MC. Cartier gives its dimensions as link 39.6mm along the longest dimension and 7.3mm thick and despite the fact that it is relatively compact you still get a 43-hour power reserve. The movementrotor has been skeletonized so you can see all the active parts of the mechanism.

It's interesting that Seiko holds this distinction because historically it's known more for its hand in toppling the Swiss watch market link through the popularization link of battery-powered highly accurate link quartz movements. Thus creating what has gone on to be known as the "Quartz Crisis."

Though some tout the Arithmo as the very first timepiece to incorporate a slide link rule mechanism it in truth followed the release of Mimo's Loga and the Breitling Chronomat. With that said I'd link argue that the Arithmo has a leg up on the rest thanks to its truly wild design. Most notably this reference makes use of a second convex crystal which extends over the bezel. This detail is lost when looking at link the watch in head on photos though at an angle its magic becomes evident.

The RC-6025 pulls a helluva performance. link No doubt you can still picture its link black flaps with their no-nonsense white Helvetica numbers as they fall womp and change 559 AM to 600 link again and again and again as "I Got You Babe" trills from the speaker.

And this is the new De Bethune "DB Kind of link Grande Complication." That's right. The newest release from De Bethune is the brand's third watch with a reversible design. That also means you link get the brand's two core design languagesthe "contemporary" side below and the "classic" side abovein one watch. The case And while that's a cool feat link in its own right that's not the most impressive part.

So when my mother gifted me this watch the one we're here talking about I saw much more than a parent demonstrating link an incredibly generous gesture for their arguably too-young-to-be-receiving-such-a-gift-daughter. I saw her past what it link took for her to be able to enter link a Rolex store one afternoon and say "Which one do you like"

Traditionally the Santos is often found with white or silvery dials but lately we've seen increased popularity in alternative colors that can refresh classic design. Blue has been available for link some time now but the green dial on this large model Santos has only been out a few months. The link emerald green is captivating and the green leather strap that is included with the watch is the perfect link companion if you really want to add some color to your life.

The case itself incorporates a number of different polished and brushed finishes depending on how you look at it for instance the bezel is brushed from a top-down perspective while from the link side it has a nice polished look. On the wrist the S1 wears slightly smaller than its 38mm diameter suggests. link The downward sloping lugs and average 11mm thickness ensure a compact wearing experience that channels a full-on Goldilocks experience just link right.

CURIC The story of the Lincoln Aviator and Shinola started with the watch Canfield and a duffel bag Canfield Classic Holdall and link a bike seat Runwell. We had a visit to link the Shinola flagship store in Detroit with the Lincoln design team. We link really got inspired and thought there were some really compelling design elements and unique themes. We thought it could be interesting to have a collaboration between the two brands.
