    "In this special HODINKEE feature of Inside The Manufacture, I will recount a four day experience that completely changed my perspective on the world’s most important watch maker – the time that I got to spend inside all four of Rolex’s actual production facilities in Switzerland. I had many ideas about what I would see, and while some were accurate, others could not have been further from the truth. You’ll hear and see what it is like to go inside Rolex in a way that few have, or will ever get to experience." HODINKEE's Ben Clymer shares the exclusive tour and brand history of Rolex.

     

     

    As a thought exercise, The Two Watch Collection forces us to decide what’s most important in a watch, and further, a collection. Being novel or interesting just isn’t enough in a two-watch collection. Limited real estate means we must strip a watch down to its essence and ask: Is this the best expression of whatever it’s trying to achieve? If the answer is no, there simply isn’t room in the collection. That’s the maxim we operate under when forming a two-watch collection. It has to be the best expression of whatever it is.

     

     

    Is it really any surprise that the OMEGA Speedmaster was born to go fast? It’s right there in the name, after all. OMEGA debuted the original Speedmaster back in 1957, just as the world of motorsport was beginning to rev its engines. OMEGA wanted to be a part of the action from the start, and a new chronograph wristwatch, with a few identifiable attributes intended to endear it to the nascent racing enthusiast market, was how the Swiss brand decided to tap into this burgeoning demographic. Little did OMEGA know that the Speedmaster’s future success would rely on its efficacy in outer space rather than down at the race track.

     

     

    An unexpected contender in the hyper-competitive Blue Dial Steel Sports Watch category: the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris. With diving roots and boundary pushing heritage in the historic Memovox, the Polaris shines as a highly finished, wonderfully executed watch from one of the industry's most storied watchmakers. All in an accessible package that rivals competitors that are not nearly as easy to approach.
