And then at a vastly different price point, I also think it's worth revisiting our coverage of the debut creations of Havid Nagan, a Los Angeles-based operation that debuted this year and is led by founder Aren Bazerkanian. He has big plans for the future. That was until 2017, when Swordfish Partners filed an admiralty claim on an "unknown abandoned and sunken steamship off the coast of North Carolina" believed to be the Pulaski. What I should have told him is that no watch company is more...

I had to ask myself, do I just like this watch because it's pink? And I said, no, that's a nice-looking bracelet, and cushion-shaped case, it's interesting, but not too interesting, and Fears is a cool name. Then I googled "Fears Watches" and found myself looking at the head of the operation, this young fellow wearing a bowtie who looks like he'd be fun to have a gin and tonic with. All the watches start with a 2N 18k yellow gold dial plate that is engraved over the course of 20 hours to create...

In any event, (and frequent Hodinkee photographer) Kasia has noted on a number of occasions how much she likes my watch and I happen to be one of those weirdos that thinks having two of the same watch in the family isn't such a crazy thing (I also happen to be in a family where there's precedent for such activity). There would be something so charming about taking this off and carefully winding it every day or two. Just thinking about it gets me excited. This is an often-faked Explorer-like...

Offered in six variations, the new 39mm Spirit Zulu Time is, unsurprisingly, a smaller take on what Longines established with the original 42mm model. In this new format, the steel case is 39mm wide, 13.2mm thick, and 46.7mm lug-to-lug. But the 5508s produced in the early 1960s often show a lighter color of luminous compound that uses a lower concentration of radium. You can easily see the different in the two watches above, with the first being an early example and the second a very late one....

The straight lugs and round case connect to a number of vintage models (of which there were dozens upon dozens, I should add), and the green, red, and orange color scheme of the original Spaceview is present as well – in the new Accutron 2020, the copper coils of the original are replaced by the drive coil for the stepper motor. Though I wish there wasn't any text at all on the strap, it's very well hidden on the six o'clock side of the strap, meaning you'll never really see it at all. In fact,...

If there's one thing Vacheron is going to do, it is make a beautiful watch – and I think the simplicity of this Patrimony puts the brand's fine taste on full display. I know a pink gold watch with a simple blue dial could look like it came from ASOS real quick (I owned and loved an ASOS watch, so no shade), but VC's craftsmanship and finishing elevate the look. Across this trio, you're getting a healthy serving of Super-LumiNova coated details, including the hands and hour pips for added...

Day 10 ain't no walk in the park either. On one side, we have Alton Brown facing Matt Jacobson and Gary Shteyngart up against Keegan Allen; on the other, we have Jean-Claude Biver throwing cheese (baseball reference) against Howie Kendrick and David Williams facing Roger Smith. Good luck with these. Furthermore, you'll notice that the caseback has been engraved with the name A.D. Henderson. Being the insatiable research junkie that I am, I naturally consulted the interwebs to find out exactly...

Anniversaries are probably the watch industry's favorite marketing occasion, but aside from the storytelling aspect that you get every five years or so, it's also a great opportunity to try something new. The overall styling of the new Submariner is (noticing a pattern here?) the same. That satisfyingly clicky uni-directional bezel still features the black ceramic insert and luminous pearl. Each of the numerals on the bezel is recessed and platinum filled for both durability and legibility....

The Hublot Sang Bleu II limited edition chronograph brings together the world of haute horology and abstract art. It is the result of a relationship between Hublot and Maxime Plescia-Büchi, a self-described "tattooist" from Switzerland. His studio and creative agency, Sang Bleu, includes a magazine that explores fine art, fashion, sociology, kink culture, and tattoo culture. I love a fun watch. And while at Watches and Wonders in Geneva, you see some of the most extravagant and incredible...
