Sterling Silver coffee can from, ahem….. Tiffany & Co.
Everyday Objects coffee can in sterling silver, from the Tiffany “Everyday Objects collection.” Sterling silver 6.7″ high $1500. Wait….what? $1500. Yes, $1500. Fifteen hundred dollars. One thousand five hundred dollars. No word on when they’ll announce the solid gold eraser, toothpics, and dice. Or perhaps a silver claw hammer or silver kitchen sponge….more everyday objects.

DJ Khaled gave his son a Crazy Diamond Watch for 1st Birthday
What has 11-carats and is worth $100K that a 1 year old owns? DJ Khaled, of music production and Snapchat fame, gave his sone this insane Franck Muller watch for his birthday. Why is this important? It’s not. But maybe the publicity will bring Franck Muller more customers. They were huge a decade ago, but not so much anymore. With reference to the hip-hop music scene, younger artists are going for AP and Patek designs. You hear them mention Audemars by name in a few tracks that have come out in the last year. Khaled himself is often seen wearing Patek Phillipe diamond encrusted Nautilus references. Source: DJ Khaled…

My Paul Newman Paul Newman Daytona prediction
Prophecy of this watches’s future I really do want it to do well. I want the Nell Newman charity to get maximum proceeds from the sale. I want Phillips Auctions and Aurel Bacs/Paul Boutros to make serious bank on this, too. But The hype around this watch will subside. The hype around all Paul Newman Daytonas will eventually die down and they’ll be “reasonably priced” and “attainable” as far as high-end vintage watches are concerned. There are a lot of them. I know they’ve been the watch for literally 30 years, but something will rise up and knock it off the iron throne. Any guesses on what that something is? Also,…

EXCLUSIVE: The next Nomos dial material is bonkers
Nomos is making fun, new dials Nomos Glashuette has really been outdoing themselves lately. Lots of new dial colors and finishes, with the newest being their At Work series with the silvercut finish. It looks like a sheet of stainless steel was cut into dials and printed with the numerals, etc and popped into a case. The grain on these dials is beautiful. I would gladly wear one. Note: I do. I have an Ahoi Atlantik. WHAT’S NEXT? Here is a world exclusive: The Nomos Diamondplate Tangente. This thing will fly out of the ADs. I want one for both wrists. The subtlety of the printing on the dial is…

Paul Newman’s Legendary ‘Paul Newman’ Rolex PAUL NEWMAN ROLEX
People lose their minds over two things, Paul Newman Daytonas and Celebrity Watches. Join me to watch the collective watch community’s head explode when Phillips auctions off Paul Newman’s actual Daytona. ABOUT You can read the story on the link to Phillips below as to how this whole thing came to be. TL:DR version… Newman handed it to his daughter’s boyfriend in the early 1980s. What is it exactly? Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 6239 with an exotic dial purchased by Newman’s wife, Joanne, at Tiffany & Co. in 1968. MONEY The watch was something like $250 USD new back when you’d see them in stores. A new (in 2017) Rolex…

Ferrari’s 70th Anniversary Party in New York City
This past weekend Ferrari drove their 70 Anniversary party into New York City. They put up a few displays around the city for a handful of cars each. One included cars going up for auction at Sotheby’s on York ave and anther smack -dab in the middle of Rockefeller Center, where the Christmas tree stand every year. This specific display included cars from each decade. I was really hoping to see the fabled and much lauded F40. I’ve never seen one in person. I later found out there was one at the Sotheby’s location. I’ve not seen a Testarossa in years. I don’t think it’s aged well in the context…
