From the Editor: Netflix's New Series 'The Gentlemen' Includes an Unforgettable Conversation About a Legendary Patek Philippe Reference 1518. This Series is a Must Watch.
Yesterday, I decided to binge-watch the new Netflix series ‘The Gentlemen’ and all I can say is that not only it is an incredibly well-produced show —engaging, with high production values, terrific cast, scenery, and very entertaining—, but the watch candy and watch-related conversations in it are also amazing. The U.K. series was produced and directed by Guy Ritchie with actress Kaya Scodelario as Miss Susie Glass and Theo James as Eddie Horniman revolves around an aristocrat in the U.K. who inherits the family estate, to then discover that it's home to an enormous weed empire and its proprietors aren't going anywhere.

From the Editor: Royal Oak Perpetual Cactus Jack Solidifies AP's Status as Brand for 'Nouveau Riche'
Following the steps of brands like Hublot and with François-Henry Bennahmias’ —AP’s CEO— obsession with celebrities and aspirations to become one himself, what used to be one of my favorite luxury watch brands has finally lost all its allure and value, at least for me. The old classics will remain as icons in my book, but when it comes to their latest watches, all I see is a decline in AP’s brand equity, and I am not sure how much more it will endure.
