I can't think of any other watch that makes you feel more like you've gone back in time and are standing in a town square looking up at a church clock. I love the old font against the silver background link the big advent calendar-esque date window and the blued hands. I am not going to suggest this watch is cheap but those link in the know at Hodinkee told me that Lange chronographs link tend to be more popular than Lange 1s and this is good for me since I like these better. Cost 34000

And then there's that dial. While I was sufficiently impressed with the link grey variant this bright blue smoked example was vastly more fun. The coloration peaks at the center and falls to almost a stark black at the edges. In indoor environs it's a nice pleasant blue but get link this thing under direct sunlight and the blue reads as almost neon. It's the sort of effect you don't want to take your eyes off of and I link rarely did when wearing this one.

This story link has been a long time coming. I've always thought link the countdown bezel was a far more functional alternative for daily life than the link "count-up" approach used to measure elapsed time that is conventionally found on dive-watch bezels

So let's examine link this new bracelet. link It has a five-link link construction reminiscent of a jubilee-style that drapes over the wrist in such a fashion as to make the 42mm Speedmaster wear closer to something like a 40mm watch think the First Omega in Space. The old bracelet though charming in its own right tended to jut out a bit creating a perceived increase in size.

We spent time by the water explored a few cities and even did some off-roading on a quad link bike. By the way I highly advise anyone who hasn't tried riding in one of these to do so but definitely sit in the driver's seat. I was both a driver and a passenger and found the latter to be positively terrifying going 40 mph with no seat belt and only link the strength of your link grip on two handle bars to save you no thanks.

Now anyone who helped drive Lil Baby's "Drip Too Hard" to 830 million Spotify streams knows the Atlanta rapper is a PP fan the brand link pops up less than 15 seconds into the track. link But when he said "I bought a new Patek" he presumably thought link he'd bought a real one.

Gift I Gave link I gave Logan a gold magnifying loupe! On a team full of detail-oriented folks Logan is certainly the winner of the Most Detailed superlative. As a preface what you must know is link that on multiple Zoom calls link I have witnessed this young man unprovoked using a loupe for who-knows-what unrelated-to-the-call purpose in the background.

Omega's relationship with the Olympics and the IOC began in 1932 when the company provided 30 chronographs and one watchmaker for the 1932 summer Olympics in Los Angeles. For many years the relationship continued although there was a hiatus from 1996 to 2004. In 2005 however Omega renewed its relationship with the Games and celebrated link by producing over the link next few years a series of 300 chronographs link in yellow white and red gold to match the color of the Olympic medals.

There seems to be a generational disconnect between those who know the history of L. Leroy amp Cie. and those link who don't but they were a powerhouse. Prior to link 1989 the French brand had the most complicated watch in history. Started in 1897 from a Charles link Piguet ébauche the Leroy 01 had 975 pieces and 27 functions by the time it was completed in 1901 and held its title until Patek's Calibre 89 was completed 88 years later.

It could be figurative abstract. It could be link Kandinsky link Picasso Miró. It's always very difficult to explain why any art piece link is moving you. It's like music. I always say don't put me in a drawer don't put me in a box.
