I'm sorry, but this GERMAN watch brand is doing how many copies again?

I know some very good reporters at Politico. All of whom are interviewing elsewhere. I'm sure that's not related to being pushed to report on "scoops" like this.

Somebody desperately needs a Mercedes diesel powered Korean SUV

Also, You Can See Everything does at multiple points implicitly—and at one point explicitly—make the point that Elizabeth Holmes and Elon Musk are one and the same

Having just gotten out of a screening, it’s utterly wild to me these people thought, “You know who can fix our reputation? Let’s work with this guy.”

This thing is just the bees’ knees, whatever that means.

Woke up this morning, Got myself a gun

I could build a collection of orange and white German watches produced in partnership with newspapers.

I wrote about Elon Musk's fake flying car and its mid-air collision with lazy "CEO said a thing!" pseudo-journalism:

Most Americans do not understand that while many countries have universal healthcare, only a very small number do so through a nationalized healthcare service, and that in many countries with 100% coverage, people still have some form of private insurance.

By far the most interesting thing I saw yesterday at Windup was the Horage Revolution 3 Microreg, which the company claims to have spent $35M developing and makes a Grand Seiko Spring Drive look like a NH35.

Picked up a few watches today at Windup, including a one-of-25 exclusive Timex and a second Horage, this time a GMT

Donut Watches gave out literal donuts to the people first in line at Windup!

Checked out the new Papar Vuelte tonight, a wandering jump hour inspired by Mexican brutalist architecture. Easily one of the most unique affordable watches you can buy at only $1,150.

Finally back in God's Country

Want all the NY Watch Week debuts in one place? Here you go:

Look, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but it’s about to be Infrastructure Week again.

If Democrats actually manage to get us out of this entire morass we're in, they should immediately reinstate and accelerate every fuel economy target ever with zero grace periods.

For their new RCZ Vision Concept car, French automaker Peugeot teamed up with equally French watchmaker Serica, who put a Parade-inspired timepiece on the dash

Calling it now: the Rolex is a fake (and based on what I can see of the clasp, not a particularly good one). And while it’s not illegal to own a fake Rolex, there is a reason it’s illegal to import them.

Wren does a dramatic pivot with the Vessel, which is both yet another integrated sport watch and totally different from most other things. I can't decide if I like it or not, but it is definitely dramatic.

Hot take: the Jaguar 01 is a good design for the target market, which is not the comments sections on car rags, Facebook or Reddit. It's the car that'll look great rolling up to the red carpet, and that's what the owners care about.

British watchmaker Sheffield is partnering with Jay Leno to introduce a new watch inspired by 1963 Chrysler Turbine Car. Uses a Seiko NH35, available tomorrow, price TBA, though I would expect under $300.

As someone who once owned a black-over-black XJR so gloriously sinister none other than Thomas Harris said it was the car he should have given to Hannibal Lechter, yes, it is absolutely appropriate that Jaguars be designed for villains.

Private Sector Influence Operations are, in my personal opinion, probably one of the scariest things to develop in the past few years. The barrier to entry for these kinds of campaigns will continue to fall, and the number of victims will grow as a result.

This feels relevant to the interests of a few folks like @joelfeder.bsky.social

Kyle is a Nazi, that's why.

We need a cure for straight white cis dudes offering their opinions

One of my first PR jobs was staffing Martha Wash at a benefit show for a Baltimore based HIV/AIDS charity, and she could not have been more generous and charming. She is a legend, an icon, and will always be the moment.

My neighborhood dry cleaner/coin-op laundry/roof repair/auto detailing shop is now selling new low-speed Shandong Dabang EV minitrucks from Alibaba. The owner personally drives an INEOS Grenadier.

They all end up dead in that church from the end of Lost and realize it was always about the friends you make along the way

You know what's more important than whether or not to bring a cup of coffee in the interview? Making sure that the person you provide as a reference is willing to give you one. Or that you even have their correct contact information. To the kid who I just cost a new job: not sorry.

I find the whole “garbage famous people hiring private cyber influence operators” thing to be just wild. Also, I did not realize what a garbage person Rebel Wilson is.

Casio introduces a €15,000 (~$17,000) G-Shock that looks like an Invicta. Guillotine not included.
