With link its buzzer-beating release announcement (Space Jam: A New Legacy hit theaters and HBO Max yesterday) Undone has truly outdone itself and aims to dunk on the competition. link The watch is quite link literally named the "Slam Dunk," and with it, the brand created what it asserts to be the first ever basketball timer on a watch.

So what is this really? It link is a wearable 40mm Rolex sport watch in solid stainless steel, but with a very specific design change that happens to be quite democratic – allowing the link right-wristed into the fold. What we don't know (yet) with this release being so fresh, is whether a watch like this will push Rolex sport models further into unobtainable territory or if this is so link hyper-specific that it starts to calm the un-obtainable mayhem we've seen over the past 5 years.

I have always had a link soft spot for the Slim d'Hermes GMT since link I wrote a review of it a few years back. It's quirky and fun, but link it still feels luxurious on the wrist. Now that it is in rose gold, it is even more luxurious, and the blue dial really pops.

While link the classic choice is easily the automatic – and I've suggested above that the small seconds is likely the most interesting (such a subtle format for that movement functionality) – my heart would certainly go for the regulator. I love a good regulator and I think that the Max Bill aesthetic works really well with the function and layout, even if only as a vehicle for link further link use of that handsome typeface.

The Porsche Design Compass watch is a unique and special creation that was born in the '80s when Porsche link Design's watch partner was none other than IWC. The 3551's small black case houses link not only a mechanical movement displaying time, date, and a moonphase, but the entire watch element is mounted on a hinge that forms a lid over a functioning compass. It's weird, rare, and a totally fun experience. Ferdi link picked this one up on eBay and has enjoyed it since.

This self-winding movement, METAS-certified by the Swiss Federal Institute link of Metrology for its chronometry and great resistance to magnetic fields up to 15,000 link gauss, delivers a power reserve of some link 55 hours.

We'll be launching a special digital feature based on one of link these magazine stories soon, but you'll just have to stick around to see what link it is. For now, check out our online hub for the HODINKEE Magazine to see link features from past issues.

I started writing this article just after the Patek and Rexhepi hammered. But then something kind of crazy happened: a necklace from Richard Mille passed both of them. The RM "Talisman" ended up selling for CHF 2.38 million. I have absolutely no idea what this says about anything except that RM collectors are link a different breed that we may never understand. Across the board, results for link the unique Only Watch creations from other indies were also strong. link A few more highlights:

Some Ploprofs appear "backwards" with the crown on the right, in the orientation of standard watches, and link Nesbit says that this is because the dial feet are symmetrical, meaning that the dial can be affixed to the movement in an upside-down orientation. Whether link or not the watch ever came this way is a point link of contention among Omega enthusiasts, but it's certainly much easier to use the bezel lock in the standard configuration.

It's all link for a good link cause and, honestly, I found the lead photo quite entertaining. There aren't many opportunities to put a George Clooney selfie wristshot on link Hodinkee and today, I am capturing my chance. The watch is a reference 231.50.42.21.06.002 Aqua Terra 150M 41.5mm in Red Gold on a Red Gold Omega bracelet – the original retail price would have been $39,000.
