The Endorsement
Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Quadriptyque In the words of Spinal Tap’s Nigel Tufnel, “These go to 11” — compli- cations, that is. From basic calendar functions to a minute repeater that can chime the time at set intervals, this watch can do just about anything you want. The inside and back of the case track the moon’s movement on no less than three different dials that you’ll probably need an astronomy degree to make sense of. But no matter — we like an investment watch that can keep our attention for a while. Price upon request
SENSE OF PURPOSE
Part of the appeal of a dive watch is imagining the future scuba holiday it can accompany you on. After all, when shopping for a statement piece, it always helps to have a future occasion in mind. Not feeling the deep sea? Here are three watches suited for their own ultra-specific tasks, ready and waiting to be put through their paces.
RETAIL THERAPY
Mark the end of the “curbside pickup only” era by browsing for your next buy in the grandest retail environment of them all: La Samaritaine. Owned by LVMH, this Parisian department store reopened this summer after a seven-year renovation that preserves no shortage of glam art deco and art nouveau details, as well as a spectacular glass ceiling that bathes the whole store in a soft golden glow. It’s just the encouragement you need to splurge on something memorable.
