Elizabeth Doerr converses with pre-owned watch specialist WatchBox’s CEO Justin Reis for views on the Hodinkee takeover and the current pre-owned market.
The ever-changing colors of the silicon wafer dial on the Louis Moinet Astronef Techno are not caused by light reflections but by iridescence. This is the phenomenon of a surface changing color as the angle of view or the angle of illumination changes. But there is much more to this unique piece watch than a stunning dial.
Chris Malburg highlights some of the finest examples of perpetual calendar watches today and dives into their history.
Supercars are not designed and developed for your daily commute or to do the shopping run, although they can do those automotive tasks, they are made to get your pulse racing, adrenal pumping, and putting a smile on your face. And that’s just what MB&F HM8 Mark 2 does as well.
