Ernst Benz x John Varvatos | Chronoscopes | $6800
Nixon | The Chronicle | $300
Why does Nixon insist on making their cleanest watches so comically large?
Complete Technique x Alive Athletics | WT001-BH | ~$420
Cartier | Santos 100 Chronograph | $31,000
This is the kind of thing I really like. Normally, when you think of Cartier, you think of all sorts of expensive and delicate jewelry and watches, and just when you’ve settled into that image—BAM!—they drop a rugged, military-inspired watch like this one to knock you off your feet. This particular piece comes in rose gold and is coated with amorphous diamond-like carbon (ALDC). If that sounds technical, that’s because it is: ALDC is used in military applications and shows neither scratches nor fingerprints. If all of this sounds good to you, start saving.
