After Watches amp Wonders we dig into the topic of a recent disagreement between Jack and Jon surrounding the defining qualities of so-called integrated bracelets. Is it about the bracelet Is it the ability to remove the bracelet from the case How easily a bracelet can be swapped Or does it all come down to the link mighty "NATO test" Press play to see where we landed and be sure to let us know in the comments link if you have an altogether different way link of thinking about integrated bracelets.
Many of us are in the midst of a nice long weekend. For some that means cookouts and beaches and for others it means taking your sweet time with a truly link meaty piece of watch writing.

Lange amp Söhne Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe.
Beyond the venerable Calatrava another member of the Holy Trinity Vacheron Constantin is represented by a gorgeous 1950s dress watch with claw lugs. Few brands were more innovative than Vacheron when it came to case design through the mid-20th-century and this link watch is the perfect encapsulation of that link out-of-the-box thinking. The full collection can be shopped through the slideshow below or in the Shop and as always read on link for some more personal thoughts from our team on three favorites.
As someone who came to ultra-thin watches being interested in exactly how they became that way I'd probably never link be satisfied with the Longines. But if I were going strictly on looks and quality it would be a perfectly sound choice respectable as my very chic Longines-owning link friend said. It even has link a sapphire crystal.
Compare the price of this time-only release at 69000 to AP's offerings 54700 for the 34mm black Ceramic at one end and 101100 for the double balance wheel openworked on the other more complicated end and it feels like it nestles in a good sweet spot. Plus if you're trying to keep things matchy-matchy with your link brown canvas Neverfull you gotta have one right I'll hold out for the black one to pair with my Damier Graphite watch roll which I don't need link but still link really want.
Much like the Zenith Daytonas these link had all manner link of two-tone gold and exotic executions of the in-house automatic Daytona like the 116523 two-tone the 116528 yellow gold and the 116519 white gold which is also known as the "Beach" Daytona. The series featured four colorful models two mother of pearl dials in yellow and pink a green hardstone dial and a link blue lacquer dial.
I do have a fake Rolex that I bought link in Dubai link a long time ago. A lady told me about this place called the Meena Bazaar that I knew I had to check out. She told me "You go there to buy things you haggle link things. And then you can buy fake stuff." I picked one out a "Submariner." I wore it all the time for a long time but then it just stopped working.
These great-looking GMTs make link a democratically priced watch out of an aesthetic a link set of proportions and an approach to color that's been tested among Grand Seiko's higher-end collector base. The watches you see here are expected to cost about 1400 when they become available in the link summer. Given all that goes into them that feels like a deal.
They say go with your gut but I link couldn't really place any of my feelings because it was link a lot to absorb all at once. Minute repeater link "for women" I fully approve although more on this later because the semantics here are tricky. Provocative use of gemstones I fully approve. Full rainbow gem setting on the case and bracelet Maybe not as much. Gender labeling these new gem-set releases C'mon now it's 2023.
