Turn Back Time: Neo-Vintage Watches Offer the Best of Both Worlds

Jeremy Freed / August 31, 2023

As in the world of fashion, old watch trends inevitably tick around again. From the classically inspired pieces of the 1930s to the flashy modern sports watches of the 1970s, there are countless 20th century models that look as good today as they did in decades past. Driven by collectors’ booming interest in old school designs, brands of all kinds are mining their archives for vintage gems and re-releasing them as neo-vintage watches with spruced-up movements and contemporary-sized cases. So, if you’re looking to add a dash of classic design to your collection, you’ll be sure to find something here that’ll stand the test of time.

Why Humbertown Jewellers Has Earned Toronto’s Trust

Louis Vuitton has never done this before. In an unprecedented collaboration with Singer, the California atelier known for reimagining classic Porsche 911s, the House has created two fully bespoke cars—its first-ever co-branded automotive project.

The Classic arrives in LV’s saffron, cobalt blue and yellow, built for the open road, with matching capsule pieces down to the driving gloves. The Classic Turbo, developed under Artistic Director Nicolas Ghesquière, takes a different route entirely: ivory white paint, walnut wood trim, and an interior built like a classic motorboat.

It all began with a single dashboard clock. It became a full reimagining of two cars, inside and out.

Jake Johnson didn’t want The Dink to be complicated, he wanted it to feel like yacht rock. Easy, fun, and completely unpretentious. After a stretch behind the camera writing and directing his own film, this was the project that reminded him why he loves acting, even if co-star Ben Stiller kept ruining his takes by making him laugh.
The comedy follows a former tennis prodigy forced to learn pickleball to win his hyper-demanding father’s approval—the kind of mid-budget, feel-good movie Johnson says Hollywood doesn’t make enough of anymore.

The Dink is streaming now on Apple TV+.

It’s part of a bigger shift in the industry: brands are leaning into film not to sell, but to humanize—trading product campaigns for something closer to cinema.
