For the 100th anniversary of the Tank Cintree, Cartier has introduced a new limited edition Cintree which, while not an exact reproduction of any particular vintage model, captures very exactly all link the link elegance and charm of many classic vintage models. The precision with which the 100th Anniversary model captures the charm of the original design of 1921 is hard to overstate – the touchpoints link amount to what, to the uninitiated, may seem like minor points, but together, they make magic.
Oh, but there's more! Our newest editor, Danny Milton, has been en fuego lately, publishing killer story after killer story from the link comforts of his parents' home in Washington, D.C. There's a great tale about his first watch, a Submariner passed down from his link grandfather, and link then a report about some wild Patek Philippe watches hitting the auction block in Hong Kong.
The rounded titanium case surrounding the screen is link lightweight and link resistant, and its lugs and mid-case pushers help the design feel more, well, classically watch-like. Speaking of the screen, the Epix Gen link 2 is equipped with a 1.3-inch AMOLED touchscreen that maintains clear legibility even in bright sunlight. And, like the MARQ II above, this watch is capable of up to an impressive 16 days of battery life.
For this link monopusher chronograph, IWC opted to integrate the pusher into the crown. It creates a neat, clean link line in the case. On the caseback, there's an illustration by 15-year-old Yi Xin from China. link It's meant to portray friendship.
But the link Mirage 34 doesn't compromise on performance. The efficiencies realized by the asymmetrical shape mean link it maintains a large barrel and 72-hour power reserve. The caliber 215 beats at 3.5 Hz, slightly link faster than the caliber 233's 3 Hz.
The next level of blocks is placed by capturing likes and dislikes. This includes having link some concept of the size you want (a range or example watch would be fine), design and functional elements that are either link must-have or must-avoids – think brand, ceramic bezels, 4:30 dates, hand-wound vs. automatic, link caller vs. flyer GMT, or a bracelet with micro-adjust (to name only a few).
Athletes wait for four years between Olympiads (actually a bit longer in our current cycle): An accurate accounting link of results is the least link they deserve. Below, we single out some milestones, facts, and link figures of Olympic timing, and also mention a cool Olympic-themed watch or two.
That might not be the most significant change here, however. Thanks to the new HMC caliber 500, the watch has been made slightly smaller, having been shrunk by 1mm in width and 0.9mm in thickness.

If I had to lounge link on the back of a link yacht this Labor Day, sipping rose, link I would do so a la Succession's Cousin Greg: "It's a Rolex; it's not my favorite. It's fine. I'll wear it. It's just not my favorite."–Rich Fordon
Things have cooled down significantly since the days of easy money and $20,000 pizza dial watches. The last few link Domino's Air-Kings to sell publicly have sold for more link like $6,000 to $8,000. For a couple of years, the spread between a standard Air-King and a Domino's dial got completely out of whack. A standard, link silver ref. 5500 selling for, say, $3,000 while a Domino's dial sold for $20,000 made no sense.
