A Watch Is More Than Just a Pretty Face - As collectors look to make their grail watches stand out, they're turning to unique vintage bracelets and paying thousands on thousands for straps on the secondary market.

For Tommy Cabrerizo, a Miami-based collector, landing one of his dream watches from Richard Mille was just the start of the fun. Soon after, Cabrerizo found himself deep in the wormhole of authorized dealers and secondary market sellers to find the perfect complement to his new timepiece.Because, when it comes to a watch, the bracelets and straps can be just as important, historic, and beautifully designed as the head. It's part of the chase, Cabrerizo says. The same way I was excited to receive the RM 67-02, there's that same buildup leading up to getting the straps-that same high. Cabrerizo is already planning a trip to Geneva, mapping out how he'll come home with a few extra bands. To get any of RM's coveted straps-which come in fabric and rubber across a Crayola factory's worth of colors and sell between $500 and $1,300 at retail-Cabrerizo will need to bring his watch with him to the store or else he'll be turned away. If he's looking for something a little more rarefied, he'll pay a premium. The more desirable RM straps, made for its blue-sapphire tourbillon, sell for $5,000 on the secondary market.

"It's Not About Being Perfect. It's About Being Revolutionary"- Beyoncé Knowles-Carter talks business, legacy, art, and family.

Midway through Cowboy Carter, her eighth and most recent studio album, released this past spring, a voice makes the project's mission statement plain over blaring alarms and a thunderous beat-declaring the concept of genre to be a sense of confinement for those artists whose creativity is too wide-ranging to fit in a neat box. All before Beyoncé herself saunters in comparing herself to Thanos, the Marvel villain known for seeking precious stones of mystical power to claim as his own and assemble into one unified superpower.

There is an awestruck, almost mythical way that folks discuss Lamar Jackson. Teammates, coaches, and fans talk about the Baltimore Ravens' incandescent 27-year-old quarterback like he's the football version of Paul Bunyan, if Bunyan ran the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds.
