A Week On The Wrist: The Seiko 5 Sports SRPD
Last year, Seiko announced an entire re-vamp of their much-loved Seiko 5 line up. An entry-level staple and certainly a 101 class in mechanical watch ownership, the Seiko 5 had long represented a cornerstone in the foundation of Seikos enthusiast-focused offerings. But, as nothing lasts forever, in announcing the new Seiko 5, Seiko ended the lifecycle of all of the older models and began a new chapter in the Seiko 5's impressive history.? Interestingly enough, this is not the only enthusiast icon that Seiko recently sent to live on a farm in the countryside. What first was a rumor on the forums later became known more widely: Se...
Brad Pitt And Chris Paul Wearing The Vacheron Constantin 222
This weekend was all about the gold as Brad Pitt and Chris Paul stepped out into the limelight on opposite sides of the planet wearing one of the toughest watches to find on said planet: The Vacheron Constantin 222. The 222 is a relic of the '70s Vacheron past (produced at the tail end of the decade for only about eight years) with its specific integrated bracelet design and unique VC logo placement on the case itself. It's a watch that has garnered considerable attention on the vintage market over the years for its rarity, but we are here today to talk about the newest variation of the model. That would be the pseudo-re-edition released at Watches & Wonders ...
Bulova has a known partnership with the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts. It is what has inspired its recent collection bearing the signature of the iconic singer, actor, and larger-than-life personality, on its dials. As a branding exercise, it was a little challenging to draw the connection between man and watch in this scenario. Sure, Bulova had a massive presence in the 1950s and '60s (aka Sinatra's heyday as a household name), but it wasn't as if he was synonymous with the brand itself. Well, as it turns out, he may very well have been C and today, Bulova is releasing a new take on the Sinatra namesake collaboration with this: the new Rat Pack watch that dra...
Hands On with the Carl F. Bucherer Manero Peripheral
If there's one thing that comes to mind when I think of Carl F. Bucherer, it's the brand's love and mastery of peripheral technology. Yes, that's deeply nerdy of me and no, it's probably not the best entre into an article C or even argument for a brand really C so let me roll things back a bit and try this again. Carl F. Bucherer Manero Peripheral What do you look for when you're buying a watch? Overall aesthetics draw the average buyer in, certainly. Same with a brand name. Sure, you compare against all the options on the market. But whether you're building a collection or looking at watches for ...
The New Limited Edition 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar in White Gold
It's hard to stay on top of the important anniversaries of every watch in the industry but let this be a reminder from A. Lange & Sohne: It's been ten years since the announcement of the first 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar. In case you thought you might forget again, they've given you a pink-dialed, 18k white gold limited edition to commemorate the occasion. And in Lange style, it's a stunner. The watch is powered by the same hand-wound L101.1 movement of the last 10 years and that won the grand complications category at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie in Geneva in 2013. The perpetual calendar will correct for the date incl...
The New Lange 1 Time Zone, Now In Platinum
A. Lange & Sohne has added a platinum Lange 1 Time Zone to its catalog, filling out the collection that was updated in 2020. Paired with a matching rhodium-colored dial, it's a monochromatic addition to the globetrotter's Lange 1, and one of the most sophisticated timezone watches around.? Introduced in 1994, the Lange 1 is one of the great watch designs of the modern era. Today it's a true family of watches, complete with tourbillons, perpetual calendars, moonphases, and much more, including the Lange 1 Time Zone. Aesthetically, these all draw on the same design as the original Lange 1; technically, the movements have the cl...

Introducing: The Longines Flagship Heritage
In the event that Longines' recent releases might have you forgetting the brand's competency for making traditional and elegant dress watches, they just released a handsome reminder via three new Flagship Heritage models. This new trio of steel-case models takes the Flagship Heritage form and integrates a sub-dial at six that has both a moonphase and a date complication.? Offered in opaline silver with gold-tone accents or either silver or blue with white-metal accents, these new moonphase-equipped Flagship Heritage models are 38.5mm wide and 12.4mm thick. With 30 meters of water resistance and color-matched alligator straps, the...
Hands On Review of Furlan Marri's Mechanical Dress Watch
If youve run in certain circles of the watch internet (especially on Instagram), youve probably seen Furlan Marri's early releases. The brand started with mechaquartz-powered watches inspired by some of the best chronographs in history C largely early Patek Philippe C made in limited quantities that sold out quickly.? The watches were incredibly faithful homages that brought things like the ref. 1463 Tasti Tondi and made them accessible to folks like me who dream of owning one of the most iconic watches but lack the hundreds of thousands of dollars required to get a foot in the door. Heck, even people that own a real ref. 146...
Talking Watches With Maroon 5's Adam Levine
We've been doing these Talking Watches videos for a long time now C about a decade, in fact. And the minute we launched our very first one in the fall of 2013, we started to receive suggestions about who to feature next. And I'm proud to say that we've checked off a very sizable chunk of them. One name that appeared most often due to his simply incredible collection of watches seen rather publicly on stage was Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine. He's been wearing insanely cool watches for an insanely long time (relative to the greater celeb watch-wearing world), and I am pleased to say, Mr. Levine does not disappoint. You could call Adam Levine a "Rolex man"...
Introducing: The Seiko Prospex SJE093 Limited Edition
Last week, Seiko announced a new watch that is arguably anything but new in terms of design. That's right, we now have yet another re-creation of the brand's first dive watch C that's the 62MAS of 1965 C via the limited edition Seiko Prospex SJE093. With a smaller and thinner case than an SPB "20MAS" and a brand new movement, is this the Goldilocks 62MAS re-issue? For this outing back in time C did Seiko get it just right?? Being a modern Seiko that we will all reference by either a nickname or the reference, this watch has a long name. The "Seiko Prospex The 1965 Diver's Re-Creation Limited Edition," to be exact. Regardless of w...
G-Shock NASA Limited Edition DW6900
Casio's G-Shock is back with its fourth NASA-inspired watch. This time, it's given the NASA treatment to the DW6900: the resin case and band are rendered in a white case, the "NASA" logo is on the bottom strap, and the stars and stripes are emblazoned on the strap holder. The backlight, when glowing, displays an image of Earth.?It's a limited edition (Casio doesn't say how many), and if you're interested, you'll have to go to Casio's website to enter the contest for a chance to win the G-Shock DW6900NASA237 for $130. Entry closes on July 16, and winners will be notified the next day.? What We Think ...
Buying, Selling, & Collecting: My First Tennis Lesson Taught Me To Love Watches C Maybe Too Much
Greg Moran is the owner and director of tennis at the Four Seasons Racquet Club in Wilton, Connecticut. I was 10 years old, standing on a clay tennis court, and struggling. It was my first lesson and solid contact between ball and racket was proving to be a rare occurrence. In my defense, I wasn't only new to the game, I was also having a hard time concentrating. Each time Rick (the pro) fed me a ball, instead of focusing on the shot, my eye was drawn to the sun's glare reflecting off his watch. I didn't know it at the time, but it was a Rolex Datejust. Blue dial, Oyster bracelet. Rick just had the look do...
The Hublot That You Can't Buy Is Just Plain Bad Ass
In early high school, I got caught lighting fireworks off on school grounds. This was during the era of zero-tolerance policies in the early 2000s and the administration didn't take kindly to my little stunt, and neither did the local police. They even tried to scare me straight by suggesting they might charge me, a 15-year-old, with arson. I had to take a trip down to the local precinct for what amounted to a slap on the wrist. The way I saw it, a big, open school parking lot was the safest place around to shoot off bottle rockets, as there are very few open spaces in densely populated Northern New Jersey. Of course, they didn't see it that way. In hindsight, it...
The New 34mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak In White Ceramic
Audemars Piguet quietly dropped a new watch today C and this one is pretty damn cool. ?And I'm not just talking about the white tones of the case, mind you. No, you're looking at the new 34mm Royal Oak in white ceramic. The brand has obviously had a few ceramic models on offer for a while, but the white models have always slowly followed the black. That's because white ceramic is apparently harder C physically in strength and therefore technically C to manufacture than black. AP doesn't do half-measures here, so the case has to be satin-finished with brushed chamfers C difficult to do with a watch that's nine times harder than st...
WindUp Watch Fair Chicago Photo Report
This past weekend, brands and watch enthusiasts alike descended upon Chicago's West Loop area for the annual edition of the WindUp Watch Fair. The event is put on by our friends at Worn & Wound and joins the year's programming alongside fairs in San Francisco and New York. And, despite a seriously hot weekend in Chicago, attendance at the fair was huge as folks traveled from far and wide to check out the latest from a wide variety of brands, including Oris, Zodiac, Brew, Citizen, AnOrdain, Monta, Christopher Ward, Oak & Oscar, Lorier, Fortis, and many many more.? This is my second year attending WindUp Chicago in connection with my plucky side hustle of a...
Hands On with the gold and black Brew Metric Chronographs
I love a good "high/low." Man, do I love it. Jeans, a t-shirt and a gold chronograph (or if I can be greedy, something complicated like a Patek 5004J) and I'm in heaven. Not that I'll ever own a 5004, but a man can dream. Another one on the list is the Rolex ref. 6263 Daytona in yellow gold. Or a gold ref. 6239. Or let's be honest C one of the top five watches on my list of all-time grails C the ref. 6264 "John Player Special." Really, it's hard to beat a gold chronograph with a black gilt dial. (PVD-coated) case-in-point: the Brew Metric in a PVD gold-coated 316L stainless-steel case with a black dia...
Vintage Watches: The Heuer Skipper Ref. 7764
Today we're sharing images and information about a Heuer Skipper ref. 7764 sold via Hodinkee Private Sales. If you're interested in vintage classics or other hard-to-find watches like this, please reach out to Rich directly at [email protected]. The Heuer Skipper is always on our mind and even more so after TAG Heuer announced the newest iteration last week. Just as with the Limited Edition Carrera Skipper For HODINKEE, TAG's latest Skipper takes cues from the Carrera-cased "Skipperera," undoubtedly one of the most recognizable models from Heuer's history, but there is more to Skippers than the aqua blues and orange accents. ...
The Panerai Radiomir Quaranta in 40mm
There are a few watches that have perpetually caught my attention over the course of my endless enthusiasm. These aren't watches I've owned, and they aren't even necessarily watches I've yearned to own, but rather watches that have leased micro studio apartments in the basement of my brain. Sometimes I forget they're there, and then I hear loud music or yelling, or a dog barking. One of those timepieces has been the Panerai Radiomir in its most basic forms. I'm talking about the cushion case, dark sandwich dial, and faux-patina Radiomir. But as a guy who spends most of his days wearing watches that range from 36mm-40mm, the one thing that always kept the Radiomir...
