    "Okay, but what is style? I look at watches almost exactly the same way I look at menswear. Generally speaking, I make simple, conservative clothes that have enough cool to get me going in the morning. Similarly, all the watches I own have a very clean dial. I like a sparer face. My mind is filled with a lot of detritus already; my watch can’t be too tricky."

     

     

    "There were qualities about the new Autavia that piqued my interest from the very beginning and kept bringing me back to it – the unusual process that went into its development (more on that later), the earnest approach to honoring a classic design and doing so thoughtfully, and the use of one of the great new affordable in-house chronograph calibers out there, to name just a few."

     

     

    "If it’s a feel-good movie you’re after, look elsewhere. Uncut Gems (2019), directed by the Safdie Brothers, is named for a crew of scruffy characters and a literal uncut gem sourced from Ethiopia. It’s the property of Howard Ratner (played by Adam Sandler), a jewelry-store owner in New York’s Diamond District – a fast-talking hustler and unreconstructed sports gambler. Ratner has a strong watch game. The only problem is, he can’t seem to keep any of them on his wrist."

     

     

    "The perpetual calendar reference, produced from 1985 to 2007, straddles the line between modern and vintage, between computer-aided design and pre-CAD, between the grace of golden-era mid-century Patek and the advances of its contemporary movements. While it spent a year being produced alongside the legendary 5711, I find it a much more interesting, indeed daring proposition."
