FREAKIN' OUTSTANDING
WHEN ULYSSE NARDIN DESCRIBED its new Freak [X Gold Enamel] as a superwatch, it certainly raised a few eyebrows in the industry. Hyperbole like that, especially in the world of horology, invites scrutiny, and we've seen timepieces spectacularly fail to live up to the press release.

Dressed To The 009s
I HATE TO BEGIN with politics for an article about a car I've had an absolute pleasure driving, but China's EV manufacturers have capitulated on American President Donald Trump's tariffs and anti-environmental posturing, pushing aggressively into Southeast Asia, Latin American and European markets.

The Finest Vintage
IT'S INCREDIBLE TO THINK that the new Calatrava didn't make the biggest wave among Patek Philippe's novelties this year. Despite being one of the most celebrated collections in its impressive repertoire, the watch took a backseat to the maison's audacious releases this year, which includes the Cubitus (Patek Philippe's first-ever square watch) and the Reference 27000M-001, an ornate desk clock with perpetual calendar and weekly calendar complications, and a power reserve of 31 days.

Under The Sea
WHEN EDMUND HILLARY SUMMITTED Mount Everest in 1953 with Tenzing Norgay, he had a Rolex Oyster Perpetual on his wrist. It's why I've had the Oyster Perpetual Explorer, the successor to the Oyster Perpetual, on my wishlist for a while now. I've always loved watches with stories—and nothing beats a timepiece that traces its legacy back to the first watch to reach the top of the tallest peak in the world.
