Firstly Thank you so much for taking the job as Judge this weekend. Something about that Playboy piece I quite like. Itβs v quite dandy in a fun way. The accutron is something Iβve considered many times because it is fun and original- my only concern was if it would get wrist time. I love the Porsche. Iβm thinking that era of Porsche+IWC would be worth a detailed study. There where som amazing pieces coming out of this collaboration. Here Iβm also thinking about the Divers for the German army.
The combination resulted in a very specific, very Germanic design language on the one hand and some spectacular technology on the other. The divers you mention - so thin for the water resistance, that many watch manufacturers nowadays would do well to emulate that ππ»
The Seiko Playboy - well it certainly is dandyish π
I canβt think of the number of times Iβve wanted to pick up one of the Porsche divers. I think they have potential to become classics down the road. Certainly, they are very cool and wearable?
