The Octo Finissimo Automatique is the kind of luxury sports watch that you'd probably expect more from someone like Audemars Piguet than you would from Bulgari. It features the thinnest self-winding movement currently in production (a record once held by AP), tucked inside the very masculine, faceted case of the Octo Finissimo line. The absence of any visible branding makes it perfect for operators to conceal any sort of affiliation, and in that sense, it may be an even better pick than a Tudor 7928. After staying out of the ambassador game for almost 20 years, Tudor brought soccer superstar David Beckham into the fold back in May, kicking off its "Born to Dare" campaign. In a shocking turn of events, Tudor has just announced another big name ambassador – the brand's first female ambassador, no less – in Lady Gaga. And it won't cramp your legs or your style reads an ad from the '60s about the improved legroom of the BOAC VC10.

The first escapement ever used in watches, and indeed in clocks with mechanical escapements of any kind, was the verge. This escapement had a number of disadvantages, not the least of which was the fact that the escapement was in constant mechanical contact with the oscillator, and was very sensitive to power variations. At the tail end of my Journe appointment, their press person told me he had something special, something so unique and precious he was only showing it to a select few. And I couldn't put it on my wrist. When a new watch comes out, I try to reserve judgment. First impressions are fine and good, and necessary to do what I do for a living – and, hey, once you've held a watch in your own two hands you can go nuts with your opinions – but I don't love how everyone is either in camp it's amazing or camp it's lame before they even see the thing in person. The thinner lines of the hand logo interrupts the consistency of every other engraved element's thickness on the dial. While a critique, I think it's one that considers the design language of the brand to be so strong that I don't think a logo is necessary. With a top velocity of 17,549 miles per hour, the total distance covered by Carpenter's flight was 76,021 statute miles. The maximum force during the flight was 7.8 Gs.
