Watch Portraits opens at the National Watch and Clock Museum in Columbia, Pennsylvania, on April 30 and will remain on view through December. For more, you can visit the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors or Atom Moore online. Watches & Wonders Shanghai will include exhibitions from A. Lange & Söhne, Baume & Mercier, Cartier, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Panerai, Parmigiani Fleurier, Piaget, Purnell, Roger Dubuis, and Vacheron Constantin. All but two of these brands, Parmigiani Fleurier and Purnell, are owned by the Richemont Group. The physical show is by invitation only. However, all of the watches shown in Shanghai will be able to be seen on the digital platform.

That said, some of the past Habring designs haven't done it for me. I would have nitpicks with some of the typography or logo choices, and while all the designs have been interesting, not all of them have felt perfect. This Tuxedo dial felt different. I wore the Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin on a deep blue, textured rubber strap with a gold folding buckle, and found it a very comfortable fit. For such an aristocratic implementation of such a steeped-in-history complication, the Overseas Perpetual Ultra-Thin succeeds surprisingly well at being a highly user-friendly everyday watch. You know when a guy walks into a bar and you spot a Speedy on his wrist, you find yourself subconsciously giving him a gentle nod of appreciation. Well, I found myself doing it recently when a gent walk into a drinks party here in London wearing a TimeZone 20th Anniversary Habring² (the one with that killer dial inspired by an early 20th century sector dial). It was almost like a secret handshake.

A scrappy seafaring American who's out to save the oceans strolls into the Zodiac design studio and requests that the typically conservative Swiss folks do things they wouldn't normally do: take away the date window, change the 12 o'clock index to a shark fin silhouette, and finish the dial in a way that the gradient emanates from the top as opposed to the center, like most sunburst dials. The question of whether you like the watch stylistically should be the only thing stopping you, and for my money, I would love to wear a Ploprof to the office every day. Even if my office is considerably drier than Omega might have planned when they re-released the Ploprof. Hublot does not specifically list what percentage of each sale will go to SORAI and Care For Wild, but they do clearly state that it is a large portion of the sales and that those funds are earmarked for saving and caring for orphaned baby rhinoceroses. Have you ever seen a baby rhino? They don’t quite look real, and they are painfully cute. Tim Harford from BBC News explores the evolution of timekeeping, the development of Standard Time and its origin in the need to make trains run on schedule, and where modern precision timekeeping is going, in his story, "Tick Tock: The Importance Of Knowing The Right Time," which is part of the BBC News radio series, "50 Things That Made The Modern Economy." The Richard Lange Jumping Seconds was an extremely interesting debut from A. Lange & Söhne when it launched in 2016.

And like the previous watch, the dial has all hour markers lumed.
