Bucket List:

Raines Law Room

When you conjure up images of New York City in the Roaring Twenties, three things spring to mind: shorter hem lines, jazz and the ubiquitous speakeasy. Despite nationwide prohibition laws putting the kibosh on the sale of alcohol, demand for it didn’t disappear—and so denizens of the city needed to find creative ways of keeping the tipple flowing. Savvy entrepreneurs soon began setting up speakeasies—so named because of the secrecy surrounding the illegal clubs—and as a result, New York kept its reputation as the city that never sleeps.

When prohibition ended in 1933, speakeasies became obsolete—but a few remain to this day, dotted around the city in hidden locations. Raines Law Room is one such exclusive club, set amidst the Brownstones of fashionable Chelsea. Ring a buzzer on an unremarkable door to get access, and once you’re through, you’ll find yourself transported right back to the 1920s.

With sumptuous art-deco décor and a dimly-lit, exclusive ambience, it’s the perfect place to kick back and enjoy a drink—and with the bar’s extensive cocktail menu, you probably won’t stop at just one.

You can make a reservation ahead of time, or just walk in off the street if you’re out and about in the city—but be sure to get there early, because the best seats are snapped up quickly. NYC, raineslawroom.com

Review: Patek Philippe Nautilus 5740/1G
Posted 15/02/19
Forty-two years is a long time. It’s long enough to go from enjoying a carefree childhood to having a serious need to make a will, and for those who’ve spent that time hoping Patek Philippe would fit a grand complication into the quirky Nautilus, the wait was a long one. But now the wait is over.

Feature: £3,000 vs £12,000 vs £40,000 chronograph
Posted 14/02/19
The hand wound chronograph is perhaps the foundation of a high-end watch company’s ability to demonstrate its prowess, a complex, intricate assembly unencumbered by a rotor weight hiding the mechanical wizardry going on inside. There’s no better palette upon which to exhibit the art of fine watchmaking—but can you tell the difference between one that’s more affordable and one that’s very expensive?

Feature: Rolex Sea-Dweller vs Tudor Pelagos
Posted 11/02/19
If you’re looking to buy a serious dive watch, then the Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600 is likely to be right at the top of your wish list. It’s got the history, it’s got the heritage—but it’s also got a problem: the Tudor Pelagos.

Feature: 3 Vintage Heuers

It’s had its ups and downs, TAG Heuer—and perhaps more recently, the ups have been outnumbered by the downs. There’s a positive future on the horizon thanks to the efforts of brand fixer-upper Jean-Claude Biver, but a look to the future isn’t always enough to give us hope—we need to look to the past as well.
