The Rise of the All-Terrain Watch

MANY TRULY emblematic feats of exploration and adventure were completed without the need of specialist explorer watches. For instance, when Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reached the top of Everest in 1953, their expedition was famously equipped by Rolex with simple Oyster Perpetuals. The Crown’s legendary Explorer 1 was launched later that year to commemorate the climb.) Yachtsman Francis Chichester completed his historic 226-day solo circumnavigation of the globe in 1967 also wearing a straightforward Rolex Oyster Perpetual; mid-Atlantic, he slipped into his dinner jacket to celebrate his birthday with a glass of Champagne.

This year the adventure watch is having a moment, reviving questions of what exactly it is, and what it can be. Adventure watches are more than an accessory, they’re more than just watches, they tell a story,” explains Alex Ghotbi, head of watches for Europe and the Middle East at Phillips. The story of the person who went into space, under the sea, in the jungle, or to the Sahara. From being just a watch they become an element of the adventure itself, and collectors love that because it allows them to live vicariously through their watch.”

ANATOMY OF A RIOT

Last summer, the murders of three children in a small seaside town in England's northwest triggered a contagion of violence that spread throughout the country practically overnight. The speed and ease with which the riots took shape-propagated by angry men, distorted by social media falsehoods, and amplified by anti-immigrant opportunists-helps explain why this moment when the truth is so fraught is making life in the UK, the US, and beyond feel so dangerous.
