If you're serious about career growth, keeping an eye on the latest job openings in India is crucial. Timely applications often mean you’re ahead of the competition.

Not many people travel to Holstein. With no full-service restaurants or hotels in town, any "tourists" would stay 10 minutes away in Bubendorf at the hotel restaurant featuring modern amenities and Michelin-starred food in an historical building. There's also nearby Bad (Bath, in English) Eptingten, the more traditionally Swiss hotel restaurant – in both food and decor – where you can eat alongside locals without an English menu in sight.

A stock of around thirty perfectly functional original Minerva calibers has enabled the Hamburg brand to design a very exclusive edition with a rather retro style, especially thanks to its salmon-colored dial.

Ratner's last watch is a large Breitling Chronomat with gilt numbering on the bezel and the signature Chronomat crown. The watch makes a brief but important appearance on screen as the Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers behind a strong Kevin Garnett performance and a truly intense couple of minutes. As Ratner unlocks the door to his shop [02:05:50], the camera focuses on his wrist, and his Breitling. You’ll have to watch the movie to see what happens next.

They want to be reassured that when they buy a TAG Heuer watch it will last and not go out of fashion – and that it will keep its value. Consistency is extremely important and we’re investing in that. Knowing a watch design was the same 40, 50 years ago reassures the customer when they’re spending a large amount of money. It doesn’t mean we can’t be creative or innovative, or come with new designs or technologies. We’re investing there, too.

The 12-hour markers are a mix of applied rectangular indexes for the even hours and applied numerals for the uneven hours. All the non-numeral markers are filled with white Super-LumiNova for legibility in the dark.

In modes that have additional "pages" for the screen, the top pusher (at two o'clock) can cycle through the options. This is mostly to alternate between time and the date display when you're in standard time mode. The screen is bright, easy to read, and offers nothing extra along the way. With somewhat vague feedback from the heavily actioned pushers, the whole experience is rather '80s, but it all works well enough on the wrist.

After a week with it, I fell in love with the new Big Pilot – a watch I had never really connected with before. It's a known phenomenon that enthusiasts constantly ask for smaller case sizes but brands don't really need to listen to them, because the majority of their customers are non-enthusiast buyers that actually prefer larger case sizes. As watch-obsessives, we often forget how different the standard consumer is from the enthusiast.

From superstitions to public clocks and even time travel, Jack brings the goods in a post that is more about humanity than it is the ways in which we have agreed to measure and display the passage of time. How better to approach the end of the decade if not by looking back at an educational and entertaining write up concerning the concepts of how we interface with the passage of time?Click here to read "In-Depth: Why Clocks Run Clockwise (And Some Watches And Clocks That Don't)"

JT. This can vary depending on the manufacture, the movement and when it was last serviced. Also, the cost depends on what you are having done from the "Partial Service, "Quick Service", "Full Service" or "Complete Overhaul."

There was a time not too long ago when the annual total for the auction calendar didn't cross CHF 100 million. To get there in two sales spread out over a single weekend is a testament to the remarkable growth of interest that watchmaking has experienced in recent years. It's honestly surreal to be in the room with people discussing – actually, yelling – about money in six-figure intervals.

Even outside Japan, previous iterations of the Chronomaster Open were often used as the base for Zenith's commercial collaborations, including memorable limited-edition watch releases with the Rolling Stones and – my personal favorite – Cohiba, the Cuban maker of fine cigars. It will be interesting to see whether or not Zenith continues to flex the Chronomaster Open as its primary vehicle for commercial relationships.

I knew we could trust Credor to do a great job bringing this model back in style. I was deeply impressed by how good it was and surprised by how much I liked it. Then again, I should have suspected that because Genta certainly knew how to design a watch or two.

The Must follows the aesthetic ethos of the first Tank watch that Louis Cartier designed in 1917. The original design was meant to evoke a military combat vehicle seen from overhead – rectilinear and efficient with two brancards creating a tread-like frame for the dial. At the time, the Tank was revolutionary in its repudiation of stereotypically gendered watches. The Tank wasn't for men or for women; it was for anyone who appreciated good design.

It wasn't long, however, before conflict developed in the trio; Buttet reportedly desired to expand BNB Concept at a more rapid pace than Navas and Barbasini felt comfortable with. The two exited the business in 2007 and immediately founded a new operation, La Fabrique du Temps. (BNB Concept eventually filed for bankruptcy in 2010; its assets were subsequently acquired by Hublot, where Buttet continues to work today as Director of R&D.)

At $1,000, there are tons of popular watches from microbrands to choose from, but $500 is a sweet spot where it's not too big of a swing to take on a watch that represents pure fun. Ideally you'll have this watch out on the waves with you, and you're going to eat some sand, get busted up on some rocks, and subject it to prolonged exposure to saltwater. It's clear that Birdwell applied the same philosophy to this watch as they do to their board shorts.

The funk has been engineered out on many modern watches that draw inspiration from this period. The Omega Speedmaster MK II of 2014 uses orange accents in a more restrained fashion. Designers of the Autavias of today don't readily embrace the tonneau case like they once did. Breitling hasn’t even touched the Top Time. When it comes to a modern watch that offers a very specific vintage vibe, this Tissot is at the top of the stack. It's priced at $2,100 and there will be 1973 of them made.

I think the watch market is close to where we were at in 2019, Ku says. "And I think there's still room for the watch market to grow, in terms of how many people are in it. I also feel that what's great about where we're at right now is the overall maturity of it all. Whether something is at a high price or a low price, business is still being transacted. Watches are moving at the new prices. We're still selling."

Astute enthusiasts and comedy lovers probably know that Jerry Seinfeld is not just into horology but has a particular proclivity toward Breitling watches. You can frequently catch him rocking a white-dial Aerospace on episodes of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee (a concept I once riffed on, without the comedy, or a comedian, for an episode of A Week on the Wrist). But his Breitling habit – nay passion – dates back to the late 1980s and early '90s on-screen in Seinfeld.
