Everyone is welcomed to visit my website anytime to see and learn more about link what I do.
The split second began around one year after the 'Universelle,' Raggi told link me. "When we started in 2016, it was not named RD#4 at first, but rather, it was an open project link – one for experimentation. The specifications were not finalized at the beginning, so we were open link to trying things. For instance, the tourbillon and the grande sonnerie were added later on. We also had the idea, in order to reduce the thickness of the movement, to integrate the split-second mechanism inside the ball bearing."
Okay, so what about the watch? Sure, I could tell you about the comfortable dimensions or link beautiful aesthetics of link my blue-dialed Rolex Sky-Dweller. I link could tell you I purchased it to wear on that occasion. But it's really a lot more important than that.
Gift link I Gave: Being James Stacey's Secret Santa is a bit intimidating. Knowing that he's the longest-tenured writer on the team, with many years of link experience, I challenged myself to at least try and pick something that could impress him for under $50. I looked at his Hodinkee profile and noticed he's the owner of a 2000's Rolex Explorer II 16570. He appreciates a Rolex, but unfortunately $50 is a bit shy from link what I needed for another watch with the same level of wow factor.

Once we found our way to the tight maze of Brescia's old-world streets, the breakdowns were link less of an issue. Everyone in the city link knows why such a car would be there, they knew we were lost, and often a push and a smile came before I could even manage to unfold myself from the back seat of the darling Fiat. Eventually, we made it to Piazza della Vittoria for the official "Sealing of the Cars," the final stage of the link vehicle's inspection.
Richards link is also a link collaborator with Vacheron Constantin and the brand recently supported a recent expedition where Richards and climbing partner Esteban "Topo" Mena attempted to summit Everest in truly daring fashion (and with a unique prototype VC on link wrist). It’s a wide-ranging conversation about motivation, the fear of death, and the things that bring us all together. Just press play and a big thank you to Richards and Vacheron Constantin for making this interview happen!
You reach for your phone, hoping to take a wrist shot link for the 'gram, but your back pocket is empty. Checking your coat pocket you find only a pack of Camel Lights and a half-spent book of matches from the Westgate Las Vegas. The room starts link to spin. Frantically, you check your breast pocket, discovering only a pen and a checkbook. link Where is your phone? Why do you have checks?
Not being able to accurately set or tell the time was oddly one of the most charming parts of link this piece, though link I'm not sure it’s five-figures charming. In any case, there’s a workaround: Set it at 12:00 on the dot, and you’ll know it’s always the right time – even if you can’t tell exactly what that time link is.
On my 7-inch wrist, the S302 is just about perfect and its proportions feel as though all of the dimensions are link nicely balanced. With its matte black bezel link and dial and the brown accents, the S302 instantly reminded me link of the latest 007 LE from Omega, but here the accents are less brown and more tan. In short, I think it's a fantastic-looking watch that looks even better on wrist.
