Max Büsser built the FlyingT for the ladies in his life. It’s sort of a tribute to his wife and daughter, but without the backstory, it’s just a crazy watch. And it’s a crazy watch that I think I’d love to wear. There aren’t really any definitive gender design cues present anyway. The whole thing is just bonkers. In her book Fashion and Celebrity Culture, author Pamela Church Gibson points out that the red carpet is "the new catwalk of the twenty-first century; for many designers it has as much if not more importance than their own couture shows and the stars pose happily, endlessly, to show off their borrowed outfits to best advantage." To Max, this one was another nudge in the direction that ultimately led to the last and most recent watch we talked about – a reminder that while making half-million-dollar art pieces lets you really stretch in every way you want to – mechanically and aesthetically – making something your friends and family can actually own and wear isn't a bad thing to shoot for, either.

But these very brands (and Omega, ETA, and formerly Rolex) also found a more scientific way to account for these temperature changes, in offering thermo-compensated movements. For 2024, Jaeger-LeCoultre has combined a chronograph, moonphase, day-night indicator, and a flying seconds (seconde foudroyante) at 6 o'clock that runs when the chronograph is engaged, and is accurate to 1/6th of a second. A lot is going on with the Duometre Chronograph Moon, inside and out. JLC is offering a rose gold version with opaline dial ($70,000) and a platinum version with copper dial ($86,000). A few weeks back, I was walking down Sixth Avenue here in NYC, and passed by Bucherer "3 Bryant Park." Taking a quick glance, a large, and I mean large, brand display from IWC caught my eye.
