While Stan Wawrinka stands out on the court at the US Open Tennis Championships, one alluring reason may be his hot pink watch strap — on an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore watch. However, many other top tennis stars are watch brand ambassadors, here we bring you a look at
Dear Swiss watch industry, dear Swiss brands, dear CEOs of Swiss manufactures, I love you! Yes, I do love everything the Swiss watch industry represents, everything that is behind the idea of this secular artistry – the heritage, the traditions, the attention to details, this innovation spirit linked to a strong respect to history, the devoted people who work days and days on your watches… I’m not writing you this letter as the managing editor of a watch magazine but mainly as a passionate collector.

By Roberta Naas Just a couple of days ago, we got word that Major League Base baller Giancarlo Stanton would not be able to finish out the season with the Miami Marlins due to injury. It is a devastating loss for the Marlins, as MLB’s hardest hitter has to become a sitter instead of a player.

In an exclusive interview he shares his thoughts on time, commitment, baseball and injuries.
