RECOMMENDED READING: How Patek Philippe became the most desirable watch brand in the world
So, this article is worth it for the image alone. Aside from the fact that Indy would never wear a 5711, it’s pretty perfect. The Patek Philippe hype is real.

Here’s the proof you can easily wear a 37mm watch
Editor’s note: Size is one of the prevailing issues in watchland. Too big? Too small? It’s one of those ongoing debates that rages on (and on and on and on).

Is this Grand Seiko GMT the coolest quartz watch around right now?
Editor’s note: Well, if it’s not the coolest, it’s certainly on the shortlist. And while this green and gold LE is a particular fave of ours, any of the 9F GMT movements work well.
