Inspired by the Puslar Cushion from the 1970s, this week, Hamilton released the Pulsar PSR 74, available with a red-on-black digital quartz-powered readout in a 31 mm cushion-shaped case with a matching metal bracelet. Available in stainless steel for $745 or in stainless steel PVD-plated yellow gold for $845.
Embattled WordPress CEO, Matt Mullenweg, is seen wearing an ostentatious six-figure MBF Thunderbolt watch (pictured above), which seems fitting considering his outspoken approach to running WordPress, as of late. WordPress is worth billions, is estimated to run over 40% of the web, and has long been viewed positively. However, that positive perception has likely changed based on recent actions by Mullenweg — particularly his decision to publicly attack rival hosting company WP Engine — which led to over 150 employees leaving WordPress, and multiple lawsuits.
Today, Gronefeld debuted a new, accessible-priced subbrand, Grone — like Hajime Asaoka, who launched both Kurono (2020) and Takano (2024) subbrands (during the pandemic era) — to cater to lower price points.
Vacheron Constantin debuted a new Certified Pre-Owned service, that will first be available through Watchfinder (Vacheron Constantin and Watchfinder are both owned by Richemont) and will eventually roll out to authorized dealers worldwide.
As part of the upcoming December 10, 2024, “The GOAT Collection: Watches and Treasures from Tom Brady” auction by Sotheby’s, the prize watch will be a Rolex Daytona Paul Newman “John Player Special” Ref. 6241 in 18K yellow gold, circa 1969. The estimates start at $600K.
