The latest watch in this vein, the La Corsa Rosa III, continues the trend while establishing some new design notes as well. I’ll come right out and say at the outset that I am not a cycling enthusiast. I don’t even really keep up with following cycling’s professional ranks in a casual way. I think that means I’m probably not the target market for these watches, but I have to say, I’ve always been really fond of them. I love watches that appeal to a very specific niche, the narrower the better, and these seem to fit that bill nicely.

Open AI's ChatGPT is many a lot of news and headlines recently, so Ian Skellern thought to see if this powerful technology could advance horology by asking it to, "Give him 10 astronomical complications for wristwatches that have not been invented yet." This is what it suggested . . .

Jay-Z and his watches. Historically, he's been an AP man. He even had a limited edition watch created in his honor, and donated his personal Audemars Piguet Las Vegas Tourbillon to charity, which ended up selling for $220,000 to this man. Then, with the release of Watch The Throne, the world heard him say "New Watch Alert: HUBLOT" and he can be seen wearing a Hublot Classic Fusion in the video.
