I’m a huge Omega fan and have previously given a pass to their larger sizes, but the diameters and thicknesses that seem to feature in every new model announcement are leading some in the watch community to ask if Omega is paying attention to what the market actually wants

One of the more intriguing features ChatGPT is rolling out is “GPTs’’ along with an associated store, where people can create their own chatbots, essentially AI “apps” trained to do one thing in particular.

I thought it would be interesting to create a GPT that enables watch sellers to create better sales listings, of course with the goal of maximizing their sales revenues, and one of the factors I baked in was timing. In other words, if you have the option of waiting “is now the best time to sell, based on industry or macro-specific factors?”

Since we’re at the end of the year, trend predictions for the upcoming one are always popular, so I thought: “why not give the GPT a shot”?

The Ralph Lauren brand set up its watch portfolio in the worlds of motoring, equestrian, and safari-style watches for their collection, but me describing them this way does no justice to the beauty and uniqueness of how some of these watches turned out.

In my opinion, the mismanagement of the mainline Fifty Fathoms (not the Bathyscaphe line) exceeds even the baffling decision by IWC to wait until late last year to join the integrated bracelet sports watch crowd with its own icon, the Ingenieur, and I’m shocked that Blancpain continues to stumble forward with such an important piece of watch history.

In the decade-plus that I’ve been into watches, I’ve noticed that there is a very, very small handful of watches that are universal. And when I say universal, I mean that with as much certainty as I can glean without a formal data set. These are watches that pretty much everyone likes and that any watch collector who’s not simply looking to flex will enjoy. In fact, these watches are well-known to be as appreciated by collectors as are their Pateks and Rolexes.
