a farmhouse called HANFORD CASTLE
Back in 1890, clean air and simple living were the goals of Edwin and Carrie Hanford and their five children, who'd left crowded Chicago for Oakesdale, a small farming community in the heart of eastern Washington's Palouse countryside. Here amidst softly rolling hills covered by wheat fields, they created a 230-acre farm to grow apples, pears, and plums. In 1896, they built a Victorian “castle” on a promontory overlooking the property. The Hanford family descendants continued to live here for the next century. Terri Gravelle and Paul Matthews purchased it in 1989.

ARCHITECTURE OF TIME
Everyone loves a good comeback. With the 2025 Privé Tank à Guichets, Cartier has resurrected one of its archives' most eccentric pieces. The Guichets (French for “ticket window”) is the classic Tank reduced to almost elemental form. Released in 1928 at the height of the Art Deco era and famously worn by Duke Ellington, the timepiece has no dial and no hands—just two tiny apertures displaying hours and minutes. Nearly a century later its bold minimalism still feels like a challenge to watchmaking writ large.
