Green Rambles: Cleaning Out the Closet

The title of this column may sound like I am doing some traditional Spring cleaning, and in a sense, that is correct. However, I am not cleaning cupboards and wiping down shelves, but I am going through my watch collection with a fine-tooth comb. The reason for this is that I have changed. When I...

Hands-On: A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus Chronograph

The A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus is, and will continue to be, a divisively designed watch. I have been head-over-heels in love with Lange’s sport masterpiece (which I would designate in the woefully underused “leisure watch” category) since its steel debut back in 2019, which was followed up with a white gold model and then...

Green Rambles: The Wonder That Is Watches & Wonders 2023

It’s hard to believe, but Watches & Wonders 2023 is already a wrap. For us at WatchTime, that is an important moment in the year. We nearly collapse from exhaustion when we finally get home but also hate the fact that it is over again. It is usually after the fair that it sinks in...

Rolex’s long-held adherence to discretion and conservatism seemingly came to a sudden end this year with the release of the Day-Date 36 “jigsaw puzzle” dial and Oyster Perpetual ‘Celebration’ collections (which I have affectionately begun referring to as the “Puzzles & Bubbles” watches). Taking a watch so associated with buttoned-up elegance and prestige that it...

Green Rambles: Money In Mediocrity

In the watch world, there is a tremendous amount of money in mediocrity. I am not talking about quality here because, quite frankly, it has been quite a while since I have seen a watch that was not up to par in that area. This was a different case when I started in the late...
