He has since been "promoted" to assistant to the Watch Liaison Officer (in other words Fred Colon), a job vague enough to ensure he never has to do anything actually important. Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak famously turned 50 in 2022, and that anniversary year appropriately saw the release of this hardcover tribute to the iconic, forward-looking timepiece, penned by award-winning journalist and former British GQ editor Bill Prince. An outlier when it was introduced in 1972, the first steel watch that strove for the same ennobled status as a gold one, the Royal Oak nevertheless found an audience among youthful, free-spirited enthusiasts who appreciated its fusion of avant-garde industrial and elegantly traditional elements. It blazed a trail for many stylistic descendants that followed throughout the ensuing decades and has also proven to be a canvas for innovation in the areas of materials, complications, and bold design. This massive book explores the history of the iconic model from a broad cultural perspective, starting with the watch-world stir it created upon its release and tracing its evolution into a cultural artifact of its time, incorporating archival materials uncovered by Audemars Piguet’s heritage department as well as exclusive testimonies from longtime “friends of the brand.” Six decades’ worth of stunning imagery from the worlds of fashion, art, architecture, music, and other cultural touchpoints accompany the story of the Royal Oak’s evolution. The book also gives voice to “Generation Royal Oak,” a group of notable watch enthusiasts who came of age in the era following the model’s launch, including Serena Williams, Mark Ronson, Elle Macpherson, and Kevin Hart.

The Watch is told from various view points starting with the sister who may or may not be an unreliable narrator. Then the rest of the story is told by various soldiers in the compound. They're all trying to determine the intent of this woman. Is her story really that simple? Does she have more malicious intent?Antigone? You want to start and end the book with passages written in Greek from Sophocles’ Antigone? Why not something from Rumi? Why not something that emerges from the land you write about? The Greek opening should have been my first clue about your academic pretensions. Oh, so cleverly you mention how Alexander occupied this area. But that allusion is not nearly enough to justify your distance from Afghan culture and its landscape. Cecil Wormsborough St. John "Nobby" Nobbs is untidy, smelly, and about the same height as a dwarf. Because of this and the fact that he is extremely ugly, he carries a certificate signed by the Patrician to prove that, on the testimony of his parents and the midwife who delivered him, he is, on the balance of probabilities, a human being. A running joke is the inability of others to believe this, despite—or even because of—the evidence. In fact, in Hogfather, even Death himself was unable to discern Nobby's species. According to the blurb of Men at Arms, Nobby was "disqualified from the human race for shoving". He always seems to have a cigarette butt about him, normally stowed behind his ear. This book is truly a must-read for every Rolex lover and someone who wants to dig deep into the history and watches of Rolex.
