So the other day while I was lounging at the Swag Headquarters and staring down at my Presidential Rolex, I thought to myself: “Wouldn’t it be cool to have a weekly segment, with some cleverly-alliterated title, that showcased the newest and coolest watches in the world?” And then Barack Obama’s voice chimed down and said: “Yes, yes it would.” So, thank Mr. President, and my obsession with fancy and intricate timepieces, for this little diddy. This week, we’ll be featuring the Chanel J12 Retrograde Mysterieuse, which is a very unique watch in the sense that the crown (the thing that you change the time with) sits on the top of the watch, as not to mar the perfect circle of the face. Noticeably, this presents an interesting complication for the hands of the clock…..but just see how Chanel addresses this interesting design-dilemma. All I have to say is…..mind blown. (And I don’t really have a Presidential Rollie, but Barack did say he would hook me up when he cops the Mysterieuse.)
