Timex x J. Crew Military Watch by Evan Orensten
This Timex Military watch stands out among J. Crew's recent collaborations. It's perfectly balanced, has a nice retro/hip vibe and is both practical, stylish and affordable. The red second hand and 24 hour dial seal the deal. It's also water resistant to 50 meters.
The Timex Military watch is available exclusively at J. Crew online for $150 and (soon, we hear) at the new J. Crew men's concept store (aka the Liquor Store in honor of its previous tenants):

Furni x Raised by Wolves Digital Watch
This trio of retro digital watches comes courtesy of a collaboration between Raised by Wolves and Furni (who worked with CH on the ever-popular Farmer Watch last year). This time around, our friends from the north opted for three color options to reflect a 3D theme (Black, Red and Cyan) and a 1980s-style LCD screen. Water-resistant and bound with a sturdy PVC strap, the...

The Spaceman Watches of 1972-77
All obsessions have their own big bangs and appropriately enough, my own compulsive watch collecting began with the Spaceman watches of the '70s. Below is an article I wrote for QP Magazine reminiscing about going back to the future with these Spacemen. Leaving New York one chilly winter day, late in 1999, I found myself come unstuck in time and arrive in Basel at...

Sarpeneva Korona K3 Red Moon
One of Finland's most exclusive mechanical watchmaking companies, Sarpaneva, recently introduced the Korona K3 Red Moon. Featuring a red-hued moon phase indicator—reminiscent of the Harvest Moon typically seen in Europe this time of year—it's a fitting watch to be released just in time for Halloween. Different than the Sarpaneva models currently available, this one features a black, DLC-treated case combined with an 18-carat red...

Horological Machine No. 3
I was lucky enough to be one of the first people in the world to see the latest from Maximilian Büsser & Friends last week. Max and Stephen Hallock of MB&F met me for breakfast at NYC's Brasserie to unveil the most amazing of their Horological Machines yet. I hate to use one word to describe the HM3 Sidewinder and Starcruiser but here it...

Mondrian-Inspired Watch Cabinet by Smythson
The spirit of De Stijl is alive and well, as evidenced by this Mondrian-inspired watch cabinet soon to be released by the revered luxury goods purveyor Smythson of Bond Street. Part of an entire men's collection for this fall, the cabinet is finished with a black pigskin leather exterior and contains a perpetual motion watch "rocker" that pulls out to reveal hidden storage at...

Albert Einstein's Longines Watch Up for Auction
We think this gold Longines watch is probably one of the more interesting objects you could own from Albert Einstein. He once said, "the separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, although a convincing one." Too bad we can't ask him what a real timepiece should look like. If you'd like to own Einstein's personal Swiss wristwatch from 1930, here is...
