    "A few weeks ago, I got an interesting question from someone I work with here at HODINKEE, which was so simple and straightforward that I was kind of floored. The question was, what do I look for when I’m looking at a watch – in other words, how do I evaluate a watch that I’m getting ready to write about?"

     
     

    Dive watch, tool watch, sport watch…the Rolex Submariner is all of these things. If you trace it back to its roots, you’ll find a timepiece that defied its underwater branding to become something else entirely: A stone-cold icon on dry land.

     

     

    When done right, a thriller can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with any great movie. State of Play (2009) is that kind of thriller – pairing high-stakes power politics in Washington with down-and-dirty investigative journalism. The film follows Cal McAffrey (played by Russell Crowe), a classic newspaperman (with an amazing movie name) who uncovers a conspiracy at the highest levels of government, following the death of a congressional staffer. Every journalist needs a good watch, and Crowe’s is as good as they come.

     

     

    "The Cartier Drive de Cartier debuted at the 2016 edition of the SIHH, and it was a watch that impressed a lot of us immediately. As a new design from Cartier, it seemed to achieve something very difficult: immediately seeming very characteristically Cartier, without borrowing too directly from the design language of Cartier’s past."
