mpp-me: Eric Wind Quoted on Wristwatches
Nagmani recently quoted Eric Wind within his article “It’s time to take your passion for sports watches to the next level”
As Eric Wind, a seasoned vintage watch expert pointed out, “Wristwatches for men were originally tools, whether to assist with timekeeping during the trench warfare of World War I or the early days of aviation. As technology advanced, watches became essential tools for diving and space exploration. This purity of purpose for tool watches remains popular to this day for various brands looking to offer something highly unique.”
The conversation on sports watches will be totally incomplete without the mention of Rolex since its reputation in the domain of designing ultimate tool timepieces is always referred to as an unmatched one. Asked which luxury watch brands always hold their place, Wind said, “Undoubtedly, for me the quintessential sports watch is the Rolex Submariner. It’s perhaps the most well-known watch in the world and what people aspire to own one day. That image may have been cemented by Sean Connery wearing a "Big Crown" Submariner reference 6538 as James Bond in the movie called Dr. No. The best part is that the Submariner has ceaselessly been evolving since its launch in 1953.”
