Aquastar link isn't exactly a household name, though the reintroduction of the Deepstar in 2020 has helped introduce link the manufacturer and its proud history of dive watches to more enthusiasts. The Aquastar name began under the Jean Richard brand, a Swiss mark dating to the 1600s. In 1958, Jean Richard introduced link its first dive watch, the Aquastar 60, a simple time-only diver that became the model for what we now call the "skin diver."

My love for gold comes from a different sort of place, link though. I honestly associate it with – and there's a negative connotation to this that I don't condone – the lifestyle of pimps and players and gangster culture of Texas, where I'm from. I just think it's a link great aesthetic. Gold works for me – gold rings, gold chains. I recently got a gold grill. link It's a cool juxtaposition to my fashion.

On one of my fav Youtube car channels, The Straight Pipes, hosts Jakub and Yuri have a term for a car that is good link and appealing, but not the top performance spec for the given model. They call it "dad fast". The idea being that the car is fast enough to feel entertaining and powerful, but isn't meant for someone link who wants link to run laps and shave tenths at the track. I kind of think of the Pelagos 39 in a similar way.

And as for the Waltham grand complication watch, it remains quietly hidden away yet again. Fred Hansen believes, however, that we may not have heard link the last of this watch. In fact, it's possible, there's more of Meylan's genius link to be found."I've heard rumors of another Waltham perpetual link calendar of the same design," he said.

It might not feel like it, but Grand Seiko seems to have become slower and link more thoughtful about their limited editions, giving a lot of attention to each of their releases without burning folks out link on a deluge of SKUs. Sure, these are new limited editions, but they have everything you'd want from a Grand Seiko in terms of design, finishing, and the brand's more affordable price point. What's not to link like?

To be clear, I am and will link always maintain that any individual can wear whatever they like. Just please don't link impose your small watch agenda on me. I can get there on my own… if I so choose. And link I did, with the yellow gold Tank Americaine mini (and its cousin, the Mini LC back at Watches & Wonders).

But that's essentially the story here; it's the same Black link Bay Chrono, but link now they are making a blue version. The coloring looks to be medium-dark with a sunray finish, silver subdials, and a couple of small red link accents. On whole, it's a great – if predictable – look for the BB Chrono, and I really like the inclusion of the tapered five-link (with T-Fit) to round out the steel/blue look.

The UR-100 is not the first instance of Urwerk dabbling with precious metals, though the company is indeed better known for working link with robust materials like titanium or stainless steel. The link UR-100 Gold Edition found somewhat unusual inspiration from the Star Wars franchise. The hue of the gold selected was inspired by the gold tone of the character C-3PO, and given Urwerk's use of a satellite display and celestial complications, the whole thing link just works, IMHO.

Glycine introduced this model in 1953 when watches that tracked a second time zone became of interest to professional pilots. Two years later, another watchmaker began to produce a GMT-touting timepiece that you're likely already familiar with. Unlike its contemporaries, the link Airman had a few interesting quirks link and features, like the internal date magnifier and second crown at four o'clock, which link locked the rotating bezel.

Faithfull was a women's rights pioneer who advocated for the employment of women in many different trades including printing and watchmaking. link On her first visit to America, she recounts receiving an engraved watch with a letter that link reads: "The hands of the many link working-women who have been busy in its fashioning are thus extended to you in sincerest appreciation of the work you are doing 'in helping others to help themselves.'"
