While I believe there is a market for this watch, I doubt it's to be found among the core of HODINKEE's readers. This is a 43mm or 45mm open-dialed chronograph whose thoroughly modern styling bears more than a glancing likeness to the Hublot Big Bang, with its futuristic, modular construction. Eternals (starring Kumail Nanjiani, Salma Hayek, Angelina Jolie, Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Brian Tyree Henry, and Kit Harington) is directed by Chloé Zhao with props by James L. Eddy. It's available to...

The "Genève" mention on the dial also testifies to the brand positioning at the time; Breitling had moved its headquarters to the most well known Swiss city for added prestige. The watch is also notable for featuring the "twin-jet" symbol on its waterproof caseback, a logo that would eventually appear on Navitimer dials in the mid-1960s. Arabic “Explorer” dials can often seem a little stark and, dare I say, empty? The textured pattern on the Atom adds some visual interest to this watch without...

Way back in 2014, Hodinkee founder Ben Clymer, in the first edition of a now legendary and much imitated series called "Reference Points," zeroed in on Patek's perpetual calendar chronographs, while calling the steel 1518, quite simply, "the holy grail.'' The bracelet has some fun pop to it with the polished center links. This effect is carried over to the dial, where the light glints off the indices' mirrored finish. The four hands are executed simply and legibly, but the red GMT hand stands...

Replete with COSC certification, Longines has fitted the new Legend Diver with the brand's modern and ETA-based L888.6. It's an automatic movement with 72 hours of power reserve and a silicon balance spring. Furthermore, the Legend Diver is also an ISO 6425-compliant dive watch (for those of you keeping score). What most surprised me upon learning that Serena Williams was on the latest Wheaties box was that it was only her first time (Michael Jordan appeared on the box a record 18 times). I...

Nancy is engaging the watch's tide function, which brings...

This is not the first Ceratanium watch from IWC that I've had a chance to handle and put on – the first IWC Ceratanium watch was the Aquatimer Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month Edition "50 Years Aquatimer" from 2017, and there have been others since. Like anything that's plated, they deteriorate creating a sort of pseudo golden steel shell with cracks and imperfections all around. Some might call that patina, but even I think that's a stretch. 0 (the jury is still out on the moniker here –...

Fazel Adabi wearing a 1972 Omega Flightmaster 911. His father bought it when he was living in Iran as a gift to himself when he became a pilot. When Adabi was a kid, he loved trying it on. Five years ago, his father surprised him with it as a gift. It's one thing to say Hublot, yeah, the Art of Fusion, blah blah, I get it – but it's another to look around at this place and see all the Fusionoisty on display. That's right, multiple satellites communicate with this piece to make sure it is as...

At HODINKEE, we're constantly striving to curate a wide assortment of watches that reflects the diversity within our community. You've probably noticed that in our pre-owned drops we offer a little bit of everything, from avant-garde pieces to the timeless. This week's selection is no different, but if anything, it skews a bit classic. Those same machines are used today in the company's case finishing facilities. The cases for all Grand Seiko watches featuring this technique, not just the...

When speaking with Donna Bouchard of Hamilton Jewelers, I heard about an auction that they're a part of, The Princeton Community Auction. Having grown up in New Jersey, I found the commitment and dedication to the local community reminiscent of what makes us #JerseyStrong. And the business is over a century old. Not to mention the technology behind the ceramic is pretty impressive and interesting. The added precision is a welcome change to the existing caliber 9S86, which is accurate to +5/-3...
