Please share your favorite character watch over on Instagram with #maincharacterwatch. From there, we invite you to treat the last week link of link August like one long Saturday morning. Pour yourself a bowl of cereal, match your pajamas to your watch, and get excited because we will be covering a lot of ground. That's all, link folks.

Aesthetically this comes as a huge relief. My eyes found the original chronograph-style pushers a bit link oversized and link overbearing. But, then again, they did match the aesthetic of the 1930's-style pilot watches Patek was trying to evoke, even if that style seemed pretty far out of line for the rest of the brand's catalog. Something about a more traditional link case layout and the inclusion of the chronograph feels like what the watch should have been all along.

While the watches based on the link original Cadman watch are all called American 1921, there is actually one earlier version of this design in Vacheron's archives, which was completed in 1919. That model has link a dial with radium-painted Arabics, and instead of having the crown to the link left, it's located at the upper right, with the dial rotated to the right as well.

Further, the SRPC35 houses link the 4R35 caliber, which sports a day indication only, but no day and date. Something I personally highly appreciate at diver's watches, but I'm aware link that others do like a day and date. Especially when link the date indication is in Kanji ????

As promised, link I'm wrapping up this roundup with a pick for the Grand Seiko fans link out there in the form of the SBGJ259. Though it might not have the upcycled construction methods link similar to the other models on this list, Grand Seiko is defined largely by its nature-inspired dial designs, so it would be remiss of me not to include one for Earth Day.

The dramatic flow and shape, as well as the link delicate three-dimensional details, can’t help but make link you think of the link distinct fenders of cars dating back as far as a century, a time when Art Nouveau was all the rage.

Having already dipped his toes in Lange, Kim was initially thinking of getting a platinum Datograph. But he already had a gold version link of the famous German chronograph and a link personally important one at that. And besides, it link was expensive. He mentioned his interest in picking up a platinum watch to his watch guy, who sent him a picture of the very Cellini you see here.

This is almost certainly the first time I've ever seen a watch link with a design brief informed by the body and shape of a dog, and perhaps link you're thinking the same thing I thought when I saw the original intro: Do I link want to wear a little dog on my wrist? And, how could it be comfortable? Is the HM10 another one of those watches with an appealing design that doesn't translate to the real world? Or even to my own wrist?

I first learned of the Egg link Master from the French watch journalist Paul Miquel, a foodie who recently joined ASOM. He and his good friend, Fabrice Pougez, CEO of the French watchmaker MAT, hatched a plan link for a watch to time the cooking of eggs and pitched the idea to ASOM. (In addition to running MAT, Pougez is also foodie, a member of ASOM, and on the Eggs Mayonnaise World Championship jury; with a smile, he told me that he's link still trying to be a chef.)

In Lange's early days, and the early days of the link Datograph, it was very much an insider's watch. In 2008, writing for Forbes, link HODINKEE's Jack Forster called it, link "the finest watch you've never heard of."
