Stumbling upon thoughtful blog posts like this reminds me how small reflections can spark clarity and impact our routines positively. It’s a reminder that foresight matters—in both content and daily life. In a similar way, using the option to https://nolcardbalancecheck.org/
before commuting in Dubai helps ensure a stress-free, organized start to your day. Sometimes, the simplest prep makes all the difference.

Sometimes we don't realize the watches we cherish the most until enough time has passed. In this case, Lowe received this heirloom, a watch that belonged to his WWI-veteran grandfather, who went by the name Major. However, this wasn't a treasured gift Lowe received when he was young, but rather when he was in his 40s. His father and grandfather had never gotten along well, and so there was little pomp and circumstance when it came time for him to take ownership of this piece.

Starting as early as yesterday, reports started to come in. In Melbourne, the watches apparently sold out in under 10 minutes and the police were called due to heavy crowds. Cops also showed up in Singapore to handle the many eager future MoonSwatchers. London had to call off its proceedings due to health and safety concerns. In Toronto, more than a thousand people lined up, stretching three city blocks, in the cold and the rain, just to get their paws on this BioCeramic chronograph.

The Slim d'Hermes C’est la Fete. 39.5mm white-gold case, Manufacture Hermès H1950 ultra-thin movement, self-winding movement beating at 21,600 vph, power reserve of 42 hours. Dial in paillonné enamel white gold, engraved gold applique with miniature enamel painting. Water resistance to 30 meters. Limited edition: eight pieces. Price: $112,900

I can't think of any other watch that makes you feel more like you've gone back in time and are standing in a town square, looking up at a church clock. I love the old font against the silver background, the big advent calendar-esque date window and the blued hands. I am not going to suggest this watch is cheap, but those in the know at Hodinkee told me that Lange chronographs tend to be more popular than Lange 1s, and this is good for me since I like these better. Cost: $34,000

Great tips and very easy to understand. This will definitely be very useful for me when I get a chance to start my blog.

Below, a couple of images of the sides of the watch, to show you what the ceramic coated titanium shroud looks like. 4 large screws keep it in place as you can see. The crown is - like many Seiko divers - unsigned.

The bracelet for the Octo Finissimo is somewhere in the middle. It's clearly intended to echo the design qualities of the case but also, at the same time, to allow each to exist as a distinct component. While each has interesting points on its own, taken together, each highlights the best qualities of the other without losing their separate identities.

Sure, Chanel has had the J12 in ceramic for some time, and the Swatch Group has leveraged ceramic in many forms, from the sleek perspective of ceramic's champion, Rado, to Omega's Dark Side of the Moon and the deeply cool Bathyscaph line from Blancpain. In more recent years, we've seen Longines and Tudor both offer ceramic dive watches, not to mention competition from Bell & Ross, and of course, the High-Tech range of Rado's Captain Cook line.

We wound up staying out there a good while longer than Ann had planned. By that time, we had five girls and had managed to sock away some shekels for college – let me tell you, the cost of living is pretty amazing in a city without an international airport. I started really wanting the big watch and I think I just thought … why not? What was the use of leaving New York and waking up at 4:30 every morning for work if I couldn’t indulge and get something I had admired for my entire life.

The new-for-2023 Tank Americaine lineup includes 11 total watches across three sizes: mini, small, and large (see below for case specs). Apparently this means we'll have to pour one out for the medium size, which we took for a Week On The Wrist in 2017.

I don’t want to sound like the Grinch, but the avalanche of end-of-the-year lists — whether about music, movies, or sports moments — that comes during the holiday season doesn’t exactly give me a warm and fuzzy feeling of remembrance.

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 was a stupid thing to do. But something strange happened in the aftermath of it all.

I eventually moved on from Timex for my everyday watch (as evidenced by my other columns), but when we opened our first Sid Mashburn shop in 2007, there was ONE watch I wanted to carry: A Timex Easy Reader. Simple, spartan, and elegant all at once. It was in the display case on day one and we still carry it today, some 14 years later. It gets the job done without much fanfare, but there’s some swagger to it. And it’s versatile as all get-out. You can wear it with anything!

For 2020 Grand Seiko has put a lot of focus on introducing new quartz models to its line-up. The SBGN011 and SBGN013 novelties were announced back in February. These pieces, along with five others, boosted the Heritage line-up. Of the seven new models, five were quartz.

And with that sale, we reached Peak Nautilus. Since then, secondary market prices have dropped. Toward the end of 2021, a standard blue-dial steel Nautilus might've exchanged hands for more than $160,000. Today they're more like $130,000, but – pulls out calculator – that's still about 4x their original retail price. So still crazy, but slightly less so.

The United States Army Air Corps standardized paint colors to be used on military assets in 1939. The Joint Aircraft Committee’s Subcommittee on Standardization elected to implement the the ANA (Army Navy Aircraft) color standard. This color standard created ANA 616, otherwise known as “Desert Sand.” Much like Olive Drab, this color has come to define military equipment, and to the general public it's instantly recognizable as something purely tactical, as well as functional.

In the more modern context, it’s a watch that we at HODINKEE (and Christie’s) know pretty well, as this is the Deep Sea Special seen in Reza Ali Rashidain’s episode of Talking Watches – and it’s a watch that he bought from Christie’s in 2005 for a then-impressive $322,400. Like the other documented examples, it uses a Rolex automatic caliber 1000 and is running, wearable, and rocking a caseback proudly showing "Rolex Oyster No. 1 Deep Sea Special,"

The name Radiomir Perpetual Calendar GMT Goldtech also reveals a second complication — a GMT function. At 9 o'clock, you will find a sub-dial combining the small seconds and an AM/PM indicator, used in combination with a small 12-hour GMT hand.
