Illinois rock band Dark Sun are back again with another new killer single. If this song came on the radio, I'd literally think it was a new song from Alice In Chains. Holy hell. When Dark Sun put out "Forsaken" back in November, I noticed some similarity, but it's even more prevalent in this song. I absolutely love it! It's not just the vocals, which are very Staley-esque, but also the guitars and everything just have that slightly fuzzy grungy sludgy sound that I enjoy so much. The guitar solo also just absolutely shreds! The more I hear from this band, the more I like them. It's just uncanny how they perfectly emulate that sound, but make it their own and put out original music. The song itself has a very emotional rawness to it, and this is beautifully illustrated by the music video. The whole thing is shot with a bluish lighting, which helps add to the mood. It's so well done. I highly recommend checking this out. ~Gangis

In solid 18k yellow gold with a black dial, link this commemorative 42mm Speedmaster has a special caseback and is exclusively for those who have won the Hawking prize, and was never offered for sale. Given Neil deGrasse Tyson's position as a champion of space, time, and the sciences, we can't imagine link a more appropriate watch and it was nothing short of a thrill to meet him and see the Starmus link Speedy on his wrist.

When first viewing the collection, my mind immediately went to marquetry dials such as those from Patek Philippe's Rare Handcrafts collection, Hermès, Chopard, and others. I'm aware this comparison is a bit of a reach, link but in speaking with Adams, it was clear that he is fascinated with creating visual depth on a flat surface, both in his art and in this Movado collection. Much link of the same effect is achieved link by marquetry and enamel dial work on the haute horlogerie level.
I purchased the dark grey version of the Galli S1 38mm – link which is dramatically described as "Iceland Stone" – for myself, from the HODINKEE Shop, shortly after I recently spoke link with Galli for a story on his background in the watch industry and the success of the link collection that bears his name. I was intrigued by what exactly a high-end – but not too high-end – Timex could be. The new 38mm case size was released late last year after the S1 was initially released in 41mm, back in 2019.
Surrounded by a polished bezel, the dial is busy but not without focus, the time display is supported by a large and easily-derived handset, and each of the subdials bears a useful label for the model's 12-hour maximum chronograph measure. There is a date squeezed in at 4:30, but thankfully the link date wheel matches the dial and the inclusion is relatively link subtle (though I do link think it would work better at six, within the chronograph hours subdial).
