This issue, we speak with Tyler, the Creator about his Cartier collection, talk rough diamonds and highlight new auctions.
. You know the story, I’m sure: The invention of the quartz movement by Seiko in the 1970s, soon adopted by Casio and Citizen, sent the luxury-watch industry into a nosedive from which it only just pulled out. Viewed through a longer lens, however, the emergence of these cheap, accurate and mass-market timepieces clearly forced the Swiss to reach new heights of endeavor and excellence in mechanical movements, enabling them to claw back market share over the next few decades.
Now, ironically, some of the most fascinating independent mechanical watchmaking is coming out of Japan, from tiny workshops that are home to artisans doing things meticulously, by hand and to dizzying standards. We spent some time with four of the finest—and the resulting feature story is a must-read for collectors not driven by the herd.
Speaking of which, one connoisseur with a very particular and far from mainstream aesthetic—which informs his choices in not just watches and jewelry but also cars, books, music and even luggage—is. The two-time Grammy-winning artist has a sweeping musical vocabulary that includes jazz, rock, electro and soul along with hip-hop, and all are evident in his discography over the past decade. But as much as I like his music, what intrigues me just as much is his singular and striking taste.
Take his watches. He still wears the Casios and SpongeBob SquarePants pieces he’s had since his youth, but the internet overheated last year when Tyler was seen wearing aCrash, which helped push the price of that particular model to record levels on the secondary market. As the rest of the boldfaced names in the music industry gravitated toward Tiffany-dial 5711s, Tyler swam upstream and picked up more vintage Cartier at auction—and in both size and shape, they’re not what you might expect.
