Nominative determinism aside, TikTok is a fascinating place for watches.Horology is a world that makes tectonic drift look adrenalised. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s struggled to find a foothold in the most erratic and unpredictable of social networks. Which is refreshing.With no legacy players to crowd them out, the best watch accounts on TikTok are an at-times confusing – but always entertaining – mix of education, high-stakes drama, bling porn and, this being TikTok, beef between people y…

If you are the proud owner of an Omega Speedmaster, then that pride might have been dented over Christmas if – as happened to a friend of mine – a young cousin wearing a hat by some inscrutable streetwear brand quizzed you on a) which MoonSwatch variant is that and b) did you put the metal strap on yourself?Galling, no?This is the watch that went to the moon! Well, not this one. But one like it! It’s premium Swiss engineering! To be passed between generations! Not some fad with a shelf-life dict…

You are probably familiar with the 20-year rule; trends re-emerge every two decades or so, like cicadas that feast on popular culture rather than sap. Forecasters claim many inscrutable reasons for this cyclicity but it basically boils down to how long it takes to go from falling in love with something – a sneaker, a song – to being able to either create or buy those things yourself. To wit: Gen Z is dressed like All Saints because fashion and music labels are currently helmed by 30-somethings r…

There are many reasons not to buy the Apple Watch Ultra. It’s an adventure watch that can’t compete with proper adventure watches. It costs twice as much as the Apple Watch 9 and almost as much as a Macbook Air. And it’s about the same size and weight as an actual apple, with zero vitamin C.And yet, by the only available metrics, it is going gangbusters. Apple – not the fruit, but the $181-a-share Apple, a price up more than 30 per cent in recession-teetering 2023 alone – keeps tight-lipped shou…

As poisoned pills go, we can’t think of many more cyanide-dripping than being tasked not just with playing David Bowie, the chameleonic prince of pop, but also writing a bunch of songs that sound like Bowie’s, because your production company couldn’t get the rights.Such is the task facing Johnny Flynn, who’s gamely stepped in David’s platform boots in the trailer for Bowie biopic Stardust. It follows him on tour in the US in the early Seventies, when he was floundering creatively and commerciall…

Tenet is a film about many things, from entropy to time travel, Armageddon to environmentalism. But it’s also a film about Robert Pattinson wearing a succession of truly astonishing suits. For that, we thank Jeffrey Kurland.The storied costume designer had previously worked with Nolan on Inception – where he proved his tailoring chops – and Dunkirk, but Tenet posed a very specific set of challenges. The first one being just figuring out what the hell was actually going on. “I read the script at…

This article contains spoilers for TenetHere is a short, far-from-exhaustive list of what Tenet is not about: Area 51; the grassy knoll; 9/11; Bruce Lee faking his death to fight the triads; the moon landings; whether or not we’re run by a cabal of lizard people; chemtrails; the shape of the earth; the whereabouts of the real Paul McCartney (and whether he’s hanging out with Elvis and Tupac); who killed Jeffrey Epstein; 5G; what exactly is going on under Denver Airport.You could be forgiven, tho…

Let’s start with an indisputable fact: Kevin Parker is not Jesus. He is, admittedly, on earth to spread a kind of salvation. And he has that hair and those warm eyes and the little beard, which combine to make him look like he should be sat at the centre of Leonardo’s Last Supper. But no, Kevin Parker is almost certainly not Jesus.Granted, in the flesh, you might wonder. He has this energy, or perhaps, a lack of energy, that bequiets a room. It’s a kind of stillness, a preternatural calm that se…

The vast majority of high-fashion trainer collaborations are, dare we say it, a touch uninspired. When confronted with yet another luxury label that’s done little more than upgrade the leathers and bung their logo on the tongue, you get the sense that they’re not really connected to the sneakerhead culture thats’ driven this boom in streetwear.And then, just when you’re losing hope for the whole idea, along comes something like the new, jawdropping, just-take-my-money hook-up between Maison Marg…
