Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So for me, it goes without saying that I love this classic Casio G-Shock 5000. Designed by Kikuo Ibe in the early '80s, not much has changed in terms of style and design for the world’s toughest watch. Most watch lovers admit to having at least one of these in their collection (I have a few!) and I find them to be as handsome as just about any Swiss watch I own.

The Longines Conquest Heritage is a modern reinterpretation of the original Longines Conquest collection, first introduced in the 1950s. Wearing it this week, I quickly took to the new version's bigger, 40mm case size (the original came in at 35mm). I also appreciated that the company chose to keep its vintage styling, to the point that without the larger case it would be hard to tell the vintage apart from the updated version

This week, I’m lucky enough to be wearing this stunner of a watch from Rolex. A rose gold GMT master II in 40mm, with a black dial and a brown and black rotating 24-hour bezel, it’s a timepiece that helps you justify a happy-hour tipple no matter where you are. Why? Because with a twist of the dial you can change the time zone to somewhere more appropriate; as they say, it’s five o'clock somewhere.

As someone who navigates a lot of airports and time zones, I love a GMT. For those who don't know, a GMT is a watch that, with one glance, can help you navigate different time zones—something invaluable for calls back home while staying on-time for appointments in your next port of call.

Every May since 1929, car lovers, collectors, and enthusiasts have motored over to the the glamorous Villa d’Este, tucked on the shores of Lake Como. They come for the annual Concorso d'Eleganza, where about 50 world-class automobiles dating from the 1920s to the 1970s are judged on their beauty, design, and rarity. This was my first Concorso, and as a classic car fan I could not have been happier.

There's been a bit of a frenzy in the watch world lately, all surrounding the Rolex Daytona and the recent auction of Paul Newman’s, by Phillips. The Daytona has been around—and in demand—since the 1960s, staying true to its original design with only a few tweaks here and there over the years. This sale, however, set auction records, with the hammer finally coming down at $17.75 million (and becoming the talk of watch followers worldwide).
