Oris Divers Sixty-Five: optimised

by Lex Stolk on
At first glance you may think “Oh no, not another retro model”, but upon closer inspection of the Oris Divers Sixty-Five the suspicious watch aficionado learns that this is about more than convenient retro just to be fashionable. What Oris has done is translate a vintage model from 1965 into a watch for today, and in such a way that the price remains extremely reasonable.

Smartwatch vibes

by Kristian Haagen on
Smartwatches command acres of news these days. Die-hard collectors of traditional watches say no, open-minded collectors of fine timepieces would consider wearing them on the other wrist, and kids love them. Personally I am somewhere in the middle.

Watchspotting

by Lex Stolk on
Watchspotting is my thing and I do it all the time and wherever I am. When I'm watching TV - I spot Charlie Sheen wearing a Patek Philippe in a repeat of Two and a Half Man and I find myself chuckling, not at the corny jokes but because of the fact that I'm spotting a Patek - when I'm eating in a restaurant - to the serious displeasure of my dinner companion who is feeling neglected - when I'm on a plane - the fellow passenger can feel eyes on him, but strangely enough on his wrist rather than the back of his neck.

Remembering Karel Hubert

by Lex Stolk on
Here at 0024 we are in the business of time. And right now we really hate time. We want to turn back time because our founding editor Karel Hubert has passed away last Thursday, April 16 at the early age of 65 and we really, really miss him. It was his own choice to stop his time here on earth and we respect that. But that doesn’t mean we don’t want to go back in time to be able to listen to his incredible anecdotes, his snappy one-liners or hearing him talk about an obscure artist he discovered recently.
