watches rock
Esquire US|October - November 2022
Nobody needs a wristwatch. But it's the things we don't need that we covet most and watches certainly fit the bill. They can be talismans of success, conversation pieces, expressions of taste, or simply good investments. In 2022, a banner year for top-notch releases, these twelve new watches were all of the above. That they also happen to tell us the time without reminding us of all our unread emails is really a bonus.

Cartier

Many of us yearn for the same few iconic watches because they say we are in the club. Often these are bigger watches, and identifiable from across the room. But some watches are recognizable precisely because they are tiny. Take the Cartier Tank, seen at left in a new black, steel version from the Tank Must collection. It takes a maverick spirit to rock a watch that small, that refined, that minimal. It worked for Ali, Warhol, and Delon. And who wouldn't want to join that club?

Bulgari

The legendary Roman house has been pushing the boundaries in watchmaking for a decade, breaking records and winning major prizes for ever more refined, super-thin watches-and even thinner movements. The centerpiece of that ongoing effort is the Octo Finissimo, a watch that, by virtue of its striking, faceted geometric case and wafer-thin in-house automatic movement, manages to look both substantial and ethereal at the same time. Bulgari Octo Finissimo in Rose Gold, $44,800; bulgari.com

Montblanc

Montblanc's Geosphere line started as a special edition in 2018, but the unique design-which features two counterrotating convex sub-dials showing planet earth viewed from above the north and south poles-has since become a pillar of the brand's output. Each new edition boasts the sort of ingenious functionality and high-end finishing normally associated with far more expensive watches. Last month, the house added this "O Oxygen," a watch assembled in a vacuum, partly to celebrate the high-altitude climbing that inspired it, but also to reduce fogging from condensation and wear to the internal workings from oxidation. Montblanc Geosphere "O Oxygen" Limited Edition, $6,800; montblanc.com

Now Trump is back on the ballot, and the pressure is mounting from all sides. Can he once again deliver a fair election?Brad Raffensperger is rattling off statistics while we wait. It's just after 4:00 P.M. on Tuesday, May 21, and the Georgia secretary of state is standing outside a small conference room in an underground bunker on the east side of Atlanta, where he and his staff gather on election days. A couple dozen workers are spread around an open seating area, quietly fielding phone calls and staring at their computer monitors. With its fluorescent lights and gray carpet, the place has the muted feel of a regional sales office. The secretary, though, is energized. As the official in charge of overseeing elections in his state, Raffensperger is always ready to dive into the details.

Vote or Die - I'm a Black man in Arizona participating in the most consequential election of my lifetime whether certain white men want me to or not.

You knew some vote-or-die, do-it-to-honor the-sacrifices-of-the-ancestors, you-can't-complain-if-youdon't-participate Black folks. But you also knew scores who didn't trouble themselves with participating at all. Into your 30s you felt somewhere between those philosophical poles, among those who, each election cycle, needed convincing that their vote mattered a good gotdamn.
