I must admit that APs are not my speciality (we have RJ for that), so I don't have a lot to say about this one other than some observations on the aesthetics and link design of the piece:As always, we will have a handful of our editors there along with the rest of the HODINKEE crew, plus drinks, snacks, and of course lots of watches (and watch talk). If you would like to attend, please RSVP using this link. Space is limited, but we will do our best to accommodate you. Looking forward to it!There's a totally understandable obsession with space watches. Space travel is utterly mind-boggling for most people, but wearing a watch that connects to space flight brings the achievement of leaving this planet a little closer to home. We've covered space-flown watches every chance we can at Hodinkee, but the Polaris Dawn program (and the watches) are unlike any mission to space before it.


Sure, it's there, but only after brands prod and poke their watchmakers and machinists into cooperation do we see it used.I have a sickness. Give me any hypothetical watch challenge, even with total freedom to dream, and I'll imagine that I'm buying the only watch I'll ever wear for the rest of my life. The watch I buy – even in my mind – has to work everywhere. Which is why with my imaginary Venmo money I'm buying a 36mm Rolex Datejust. link A bona fide, can't-go-wrong classic.At first, I imagined a scenario where I could make this a YG Root Beer with a bi-color bezel. In the end, I went for simplicity. That is the Rolex way, after all. And if Rolex were indeed to release this watch, I'd sign up for it right away. Put me on the waitlist, and I'll see you in 2035. –Danny Milton, Managing EditorWhile it's nice Cartier keeps an automatic movement in the large Tank Americaine (and I understand the target consumer probably values the practicality of an automatic), I'm prone to romanticizing a manual-wind Tank, and it would've been awesome to see Cartier say "to hell with practicality, let's put a manual movement in the large and small Americaine." This could've made the case even thinner, too, but now I might just be asking for a Cintree in an Americaine's clothing.


We were not the only ones in awe of this technical tour de force. During this year's GPHG, the watch was awarded the Aiguille d’Or Grand link Prix, which goes to the show’s overall winner. It is proof of the surprising but incredible impact this piece had this year. Baume & Mercier excited us recently with an invitation to Geneva, where we got to see their novelty for the SIHH.The brown dial falls right on trend with the faux-patina epidemic we saw at Baselworld. To be clear, I still have not decided how I feel about this trend – the watch manufactures are kind of damned if they do and damned if they don't. People wanted vintage-inspired watches and got faux patina, which in theory looks great but in reality just doesn't feel as cool. But I digress.
