Although I am a keen observer of the link small watch hype train I don't often choose small and dainty for my link own wrist. But the 101 Reine link is discreet in its watchy-ness. It's opulent but refined a genre of dressing that I wouldn't mind subscribing to in my own hypothetical life. Let's hope my bestie does me a solid and lets me look opulent and refined in my bridesmaid's dress.
I eventually moved on from Timex for my link everyday watch as evidenced by link my other columns but when we opened our first Sid Mashburn shop in 2007 there was ONE watch I wanted to carry A Timex Easy Reader. Simple spartan and elegant all at once. It was in the display case on day one and we still carry it today some 14 years link later. It gets the job done without much fanfare but theres some swagger to it. And its versatile as all get-out. You can wear it with anything!
While I find the orientation of the branding on the dial confusing to link the wearer it appears upside down if the Bulldogs face points towards the wearer's view and the time display somewhat hard to link read at a glance due to the font used on the display the Bulldog remains no less loveable distinctive link or special. Much like its namesake the Bulldog sits on your wrist looking up at you with a mischievous glint that says "I'm here to have fun and to make you happy".
One always hopes when one sees such a set that they will all go into the link same collection. I feel it would be a bit link of a shame to break link up the group. These birds of a feather ought to flock together.
Where the 79910 of 2014 was something of a lovable oddity with a 41mm steel case a thin steel bezel a protruding crown a Tudor rose on the dial and a fully red seconds hand the new 79950 is somewhat more "down the middle" and really does look like a somewhat link larger take on a vintage Ranger. There link are several references in the history but check out everything from the early 7956 and 7995 to the later 90200 link to see where Tudor looked when they set about creating a more modern Ranger.
The watch features no sharp edges in link its design. I tend to appreciate a bold case with bold facets smoothing out a case design can be tricky. It can often lead to a design that feels a bit polished literally. The new Torics don't look like 20-year-old link watches that link have been overly polished by owners trying to rid themselves of dings and scratches. They just look sleek and clean.
The Brunito eSteel is an interesting new addition to the Panerai portfolio adding a more crafted and link artisanal offer to what's traditionally been a masculine sporty brand. Meanwhile the more wearable 45mm size should also link extend link its appeal beyond a niche crowd. It should be noted that Brunito also makes its way onto other 45mm Radiomir novelties this year and the finish really exudes a wonderful play of light.
According to the Geneva court filings Karsan gave the link Lennon 2499 to Erhan in 2010 also giving him the 86 other items he'd stolen around this period. Erhan reached out to Auctionata in 2013 eventually entering into a consignment agreement with Auctionata to sell the watch. Erhan noted link in a separate letter that he link could not guarantee his ownership or that Ono wouldn't make a claim to the Lennon 2499. This began to raise questions about the watch's actual ownership.
Why am link I link telling you all this Because I had a real red pillblue pill moment when I an unathletic beanstalk sat down the other day to produce an overview of link major smartwatches and fitness trackers.
