Watch Lovers, Assemble!
My friend recently bought this JBW Laurel watch to match her Martian Manhunter shirt (that’s a DC comic book character for those unfamiliar), and at this point I thought, “Caitlin, you’re getting out of control with accessorizing your watches. A superhero t-shirt. Really?” Not too long after she saw a Calvin Klein Lively with orange accents and immediately she messaged me saying, “Ooh, that’ll match my Thing shirt!” I’m thinking I might need to implement an intervention, but then I saw a Tissot Bella Ora watch with a sapphire crystal and I thought, “Hey, that’ll go great with my Wonder Woman shirt!” Oh no! Now…

Lucien Piccard – Keeping Time with Timeless Style
I’ll make no apology here. I’m a huge Lucien Piccard fan. #SorryNotSorry. And I love the direction the brand is taking. The new watches just fit me. I take my martinis with top shelf vodka, and one well educated rock. I wear a sport coat sometimes. Dress shoes. And I wear a Lucien Piccard almost every single day. The history of Lucien Piccard is compelling, and that speaks to me as well. In particular, I love the fact that Ava Gardner gifted a custom Lucien Piccard watch to Frank Sinatra back in the 1960’s. It was a 17-jewel, 14k gold…
The U-Boat Legacy In Time…
U-Boat watches have a heritage in watchmaking history that could easily lend itself to the story of a feature film. In 2000, Italo Fontana came across watch designs by his grandfather Ilvo Fontana, who was commissioned in 1942 by the Italian Navy to create high-performance, precision crafted time instruments of high quality standards to be worn by Italian military seamen. Ilvo Fontana’s original 1942 designs however did not see the light of day for more than a half of a century. After discovering his grandfather’s designs in 2000, the younger Fontana spent seven years working on U-Boat Watches, utilizing the…
