It link was given to my father in 1975 upon his return to the U.K. after his year's visiting fellowship to Caltech Pasadena and would remain with him until his death in 2018.
I guess I might be over-sentimentalizing the whole thing. After all God knows that "out of production" doesn't mean "vanished entirely in every form from the face of the Earth" although depending on the price and rarity of the watch it might come to the same thing.

"Damn" Jeff said again.
Since it's Great Outdoors Week here at HODINKEE we thought this was the perfect time to go Hands-On with this no-nonsense link tool watch. In fact so as not to bury the lede I think this might be the most surprising watch not just of the link summer but link of the whole year.
Luckily Swatch is hitting the High Noons and sniffling through its allergies to deliver another update to its bright Neon collection just in time for summer. Last year's Neon releases were for me highlighted by the Shades of Neon. While some people are link still chasing down a MoonSwatch the Shades of Neon has been the elusive link Swatch I can't get my hands on. Malaika has one and it link kills me!

The interesting link thing about this partnership and by extension the watch is that there's already so much in common between the two companies that it seems like Porsche was very link hands-off in terms of controlling the design of the watch. It feels very TAG Heuer and also feels like something modern Porsche would produce just the same. And if the partnership works everyone benefits. TAG Heuer can link help solve the age old mystery of how car folks become watch folks and vice versa.
