Watching Movies: Celebrating One Year Of Watching Movies With Robert Redford's Red Submariner in 'All The President's Men'
In fact, Carl Bernstein did just that – giving Hoffman his personal watch to wear on-screen, as well his wallet. It helped method actor Hoffman get into character. Woodward was known to have worn a Heuer watch at the time of the depicted events, but it didn't end up on Redford's wrist. Instead, he chose to be the embodiment of Woodward, without sacrificing any of the Redford. That meant his own style – via a killer corduroy suit – and his own Rolex. As a result, we see him with the Red Sub on hi
In-Depth: Forget The $6 Million Baseball Card, Honus Wagner's Watch Is Up For Auction
This month, a very special watch that belonged to Wagner is set to come up for auction as part of Heritage's Winter Platinum Night Sports event. The watch is special for a couple of reasons: it has his name engraved on the caseback, and it was a gift bestowed at the very first Baseball Hall of Fame ceremony in 1939. How big of a deal is this? Well to answer that question we need to take a look back at the legacy of Wagner himself, the city he played in, and how he's continued to stay relevant 67
Business News: Patek and Rolex Prices Surge As Inflation Hits 40-Year High
In my apartment complex, we have a resident portal where we're able to post messages to our neighbors. This stuff runs the gamut from selling unwanted furniture to recommendations for dog walkers. A few weeks ago, however, a rather panicked communication made its way to my inbox. The subject line (which was longer than the subsequent message) read "What's Everyone Doing Since the Renewal Lease Rates are Skyrocketing Even Worse than Pre-Pandemic Rates." This was followed by a short, but impactful
My First Watch: Discovering My Grandfather's Forgotten Rolex Submariner (VIDEO)
Everyone who comes to love watches does so in their own unique way. Typically, the romance starts with the very first one we own. In my case, it's the watch I still wear to this day. While it wasn't my first watch in the absolute literal sense, it was my first in every way that matters. Over a year ago, I had the chance to tell the story of a watch and person that are very important to me: My Rolex Submariner ref. 5513 and my grandfather.
Talking Watches: With Brooke Shields, Model, Actress, Entrepreneur, And Icon Of The '80s
Through her collection, which is a bit different from some we've seen in the past, you get a sense of a story. Look at each component individually, and you'll surely miss the forest for the trees. Quite possibly my favorite part of getting to see her watches is how much each one represents the era in which it came to be in her possession. More than that, Shields really wears these things. You can see it in the scratches in the cases, crystals, and bracelets.
But why Brooke Shields, and why now?

Interview: An Exclusive Look At The Watches In Wes Anderson's 'The French Dispatch'
Usually, a prop master has a level of autonomy within their prop domain. "It was a relatively new relationship between prop master and director. Normally you have what's called a show-and-tell [where the prop master lays the possible props on a table for the director to choose from] and you refine the process over time with the director until you get to a point where you don't have to show props to them anymore," Friz recalls. "Wes Anderson doesn't do show-and-tells. You always have to send him
I Helped My Friend Buy His First Automatic Watch – Here’s What We Landed On
I'm not afraid to admit it but I was definitely worried that he wouldn't end up connecting with – not just the watch but – the idea of mechanical timekeeping. I've always been keenly aware this is a niche pursuit. It's part of the reason so many of us get along (in person, that is … the comments section is a whole other beast). I did learn just how passionate I am about this stuff, though. I could've talked for hours, to the point where I'm sure it would come off as a heavy-handed sales pitch. B
