    "I wondered about the Tri-synchro regulator, as Seiko calls it – this is the group of components which actually function as the regulating system in any and all Spring Drive watches. It had seemed fairly cut-and-dried to me to exclude Spring Drive from a discussion of modern escapements – which, after all, are generally thought of as mechanical devices – but the more I thought about it, the less black-and-white the question seemed."

    "Flying used to be romantic. Passengers dressed in their finest threads (and finest watches) to catch a flight. Even the pilots had a stellar wrist game. We generally think about the Rolex GMT-Master when it comes to the golden age of flying. It has a certain cosmopolitan, jet-set spirit. But the pilot’s watch itself has a much grittier legacy, and it’s that pilot watch which we associate with IWC. Its entire Pilot collection is steeped in a fighter pilot tradition – and the brand continues to iterate on that very aesthetic to this day."

     

     

    "Watches pine for a reality where nobody has an iPhone. Watches pretend you actually need a Patek 3940 to tell you that it’s a leap year, or that you might one day require a Speedmaster to time that emergency space landing. Watches make men in particular want to be Paul Newman, at best, or, at worst, Leo in Wolf of Wall Street. In this sense, watches are the epicenter of male aspirational fantasy – which can be dangerous, or cool, or hilariously tragic, or (as is often the case) all three at the same time."
