Bringing watchmaking to America

Todd Snyder is the master of the man’s makeover. With ties to brands like Ralph Lauren, The Gap, and J. Crew, he had a long history in the industry before he founded his own brand in 2011. Never one to buy into the high fashion looks of the runway, he instead focuses on finding ways to make you and I look and feel better about ourselves simply by selling us the right chinos, the right body wash, and even the right scrambled eggs in the cafe of his flagship store near Madison Square Park in New York. With that history, he has countless collaborations with virtually every brand you can think of, and he has added another to his list with Weiss Watch Company, which looks to disrupt the Swiss watch industry by bringing watchmaking to the USA.

“I always seek to partner with the best of the best. Weiss Watch Company shares the same dedication to quality, craft, and timeless design that we champion in our menswear. Together, we’ve created a watch that not only embodies classic American craftsmanship but also speaks to modern style and utility. It’s a piece that’s made to last—both in durability and in style.” says Snyder.

Combining American classics

Cameron Weiss, founder of Weiss Watch Company, trained in classic Swiss watchmaking before bringing his skills back to the heartland where each of these sixty limited edition watches were designed and built by hand by artisans and masters of their craft. There are two possible colorways, Sand Storm and Forest Ranger.

“Collaborating with Todd Snyder has been an incredible journey, blending the heritage of independent American watchmaking with a modern, sartorial sensibility. Each timepiece we’ve created is a testament to the precision, craftsmanship, and timeless design that both of our brands stand for. We’re proud to offer a timepiece that’s not only functional but also embodies the spirit of American quality and style,” says Cameron Weiss.

Why the Cartier Crash is the ultimate collector’s watch
Cartier watches are the ultimate blend of art, history, and innovation
Cartier Crash

As far as premier watches go, few hold the prestige and class as Cartier. Since 1947, Cartier has been associated with sophistication, innovation, and precision craftsmanship. Cartier luxury watches are more than merely accessories -- they are artistic pieces regarded as the pinnacle of horological achievement. Let's explore the Cartier Crash watch.
A definitive departure from the traditional

Since its introduction in 1967, the Cartier Crash watch has its origins in London at Cartier’s Bond Street boutique store under the direction of Jean-Jacques Cartier. Inspired amid the backdrop of rebellion and artistic divergence, the Cartier Crash was a decisive departure from the classic design, making an immediate splash with its asymmetrical, warped silhouette.

Of course, standouts and newcomers always surprise us, but it can sometimes be challenging to know the big moments, the big takeaways, and what the watch world will implement into the industry moving forward.

For that, I reached out to a friend of mine, Perri Dash, horology expert and founder of the acclaimed Wrist Check Podcast.

This Timex watch — a favorite of John F. Kennedy Jr. — has made a comeback

Timex Intrepid Reissue

Timex breathes life into the 1995 Intrepid watch and gives it a modern touch. Given that this Timex model was favored by John F. Kennedy Jr., it became popular in the '90s—and now it's back. To mark a special feat in its history (the 30th anniversary of the model), the brand upgraded the model but preserved the original 1990s design.

One of the watch's most striking features is the Indiglo mechanism, a light that makes it easier to read the dial in dark environments. Luminova hour markers were still in development in the early ‘90s, so each brand came up with a special mechanism for lighting up the front face. At the 9 o’clock denotation, a huge green pusher turns on the light and adds to the look with its striking hue.
