Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin 16202BA - Hands-On, Price
Last week, and you hardly can have missed it, Audemars Piguet presented a whole new collection of Royal Oak watches celebrating the 50th anniversary of the icon born in 1972. Among a dozen updated models, there was, of course, the brand new Jumbo, the reference 16202, which we’ve extensively reviewed in this article, in its all-time classic stainless steel version. But there’s more to the new Royal Oak Jumbo than just the steel model. In fact, AP has presented 4 different versions, including the one you see here, a bold and loud yellow gold watch with a smoked yellow-gold-toned dial. And I know I still have issues admitting it, but boy does it look cool!

Superman, Superspeed, Supersonic, Supercharger, Supercompressor, Supersonnerie, Supercar and so on. But how about a Supervan? Is calling a simple van a Supervan the way to go to shed the horrid reputations most people associate it with? Well no, it's not just about naming something super it's more about making it super in the process as well, something
Daniel Craig Spotted at 2019 British GP With Omega Seamaster Bullhead and Bond 25 Seamaster watch
Most people over the weekend were watching Wimbledon for the Men's and Women's championship matches in addition to the 2019 Cricket World Cup. The 2019 Formula One British Grand Prix at Silverstone was slightly overshadowed by these two events. But for those who watched it, Daniel Craig, who plays James Bond and is currently filming parts of the upcoming Bond 25 film, was in attendance for the race won by English driver Lewis Hamilton. And he had something special on the wrist.What caught my eye was the Omega timepiece on Daniel Craig’s wrist.
