The Netflix series The Queen's Gambit is a very unusual kind of show about a very unusual kind of person – you wouldn't think chess, or a championship player, would make for gripping TV, but it's become an unlikely hit. At the end of the day, Oris continues its run as one of the most compelling values in watches today. As a historically significant independent brand producing in-house movements like the Caliber 400 – it's astounding to see that it's able to keep prices in the realm of the sane. I went into my experience with this watch with excitement and high hopes and came out the other side entirely impressed. The last time we wrote to you to define our Terms of Service was in 2016. Much has changed in the five years since then, and yet our growing community remains as passionate as ever. As HODINKEE expands, we want to make sure our comments section remains a welcoming and inclusive space. G.K.: We decided to launch a product every month, and then we will take a break during the summertime, and then we will come back with a different destination – London, Japan, Dubai. Finally, we'll return to Paris and Versailles, because we have this very nice connection with Marie Antoinette. It's a great watch. It's comfortable, practical, and does everything I could want. The dial is captivating and I enjoy it every time I look at it. But, to me, it doesn't represent any sort of singular success. It encapsulates 40 years of life, of hard work, and of growth in ways that I could never have imagined back in my days as a combination fry cook/dishwasher constantly getting burned by the deep fryer. Journe's resonance watches have balances that are mechanically coupled through the movement plate – when the balance reaches the limit of its vibration and is returned the other direction by the balance spring, this induces a very minute corresponding vibration in the balance cock and then in the plate to which it's screwed.

Finally there’s a watch – 27 of them – to fill the void. The size works well on my 16cm wrist. A touch small, but more comfy and wearable than the 40mm, roughly equivalent to a 36mm round watch. Tissot could probably fill out the collection with a 37mm PRX to satisfy everyone (if it works for the Royal Oak…). The gold in particular had this undeniable pull for me in a coolest-grandpa-in-the-retirement-community sort of way. For the first time, it's in a steel case – the lugs are slightly thicker and the midcase is brushed, making the new version feel just a bit more casual. And they did it with no date! The original caliber 1.96 1860 is basically a perfect dress watch, but some loved to complain about the (in my opinion) well-executed 6 o'clock date. Now, it's gone. Hank's business gained momentum. By 2000, he had purchased 1.3 acres in growing East Louisville and broke ground to build an 8,500 square foot first-of-its-kind luxury jewelry store to give Louisvillians an unprecedented jewelry-buying experience. In 2001, Davis Jewelers was born.

BVLGARI is accomplishing this in three major ways: an all-new case, dial design, and quick change strap system unique to the newly minted Octo Roma. 00 was produced alongside another version that had the inverse red and yellow colors along with a similar blue model that was made for Cart racing – an American open-wheeled race series that later merged with Indycar.
