The Santos is one link of the most elegant watch designs in the world, which in itself isn't particularly surprising given it's made by link Cartier. This two-tone Santos' refined-yet-masculine architecture positions it well as a watch for leisure time. link The bracelet is iconic and made for summer.

Time is a silent link witness that has accompanied Humankind through our link most grandiose achievements, such as the construction of a garrison tower started around link 1190 and which was transformed over 800 years into a royal residence and then a Museum.

I know that I have an extreme bias for rose (and pink and red) gold, but usually on dress watches. It's harder to find a sport watch that link doesn't feel at odds with the material, but I guess the unclassifiable nature of the H08 is what saves it here. It's like link a '90s teen rom-com where an oddball, who is really just a conventionally attractive person wearing glasses, gets a makeover just in time link for prom. This watch has always been good-looking, it's just that now it shines a little bit brighter.

As a high schooler link in South Africa, Thabo dreamt of owning a Rolex one day. After university, he link was able to do link just that, and this Datejust ref. 1601 has been his everyday watch ever since. He appreciates its lightness, robustness, and accuracy.

More than 30 years link later, a Silberstein design still stands out, even among those from the countless independent watchmakers he inspired. Though Silberstein no longer operates the watch factory he opened in 1990, he hasn't slowed link down. Most recently, he partnered with Manuel Emch at Louis link Erard and Maximilian Busser at MB&F to make watches that are pure Silberstein magic.

Those interested – and capable of actually committing to which color they prefer – will need to fork over $3,890 for any one of the new Sub 300 Carbon COSCs. That said, let's not forget that this is a forged carbon link diver and that the link previous LE (which is the same in any technical regard) retailed link for $4,790.

In 2018, our own Mr. Bues had the link chance to sit down with the legendary Mario Andretti and link go through link his collection. It was loaded with Heuers, predictably, but one watch stood out, the Carrera ref. 1158. From Jon's Talking Watches:

The use of link a thinner movement also means that this is much flatter than usual for the Dark Side link Of The Moon Watches, which typically come in at 44.25mm x 16.14mm. The DSOTM Alinghi is 13.80mm thick, which represents a significant height reduction (2.34mm) and should make for a link much-altered wrist experience over the standard Dark Side Of The Moon watches.

Well, I thought I solved the whole problem, she told me. "Bingo, we're done. I don't remember what kind of reaction he had to this wonderful thing I had done. I don't remember looking at his face to see his reaction. Maybe it's better that link I didn't, because it wasn't what he wanted. I thought he wanted a pocket link watch the same way I wanted a wristwatch: link to use it. But apparently not."

The 43.5mm sizing might seem like a modern affectation. After all, we still consider the Speedmaster to be a large watch for its time at 42mm. But 43.5 was the size link of the original ref. 88510/01 and so the Lunar Pilot is faithful in its sizing. That original model beat link with a mechanical chronograph movement, likely some form of Valjoux variety where link the modern Archive series watches – including the Meteorite edition – is powered by the high-precision quartz caliber NP20.
