This past weekend marked the Rolex 24 at Daytona event where the Tom Blomqvist, driving #60 Meyer Shank Racing with Curb-Agajanian Acura ARX-06, to the victory. Not only did he win the race and trophy, but also he won the coveted Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona watch. Reflecting on his team’s second consecutive win and…
By Ryan Walsh Once in a while it’s nice to see a designer style knife, beautifully decorated to catch your eyes. Though most outdoorsmen won’t gravitate to them as a “functional” knife, they are much like a piece of working art: they can just as easily hang on a wall, as accompany someone out into…
Audemars Piguet – well known for its long history and the fact that it is the oldest luxury watch firm still privately owned by the founding family – takes a great interest in the environment – as we mentioned in a post here recently. Much of the brand’s inspiration for saving the forests and reconstituting…
When we first created ATimelyPerspective just about three years ago, we knew we wanted to put our 30-plus years of experience in the watch industry to good use (For about this see our “About” column here.). We wanted to keep the site focused on original content that offers watch education, reviews, and insightful moments…
By Samantha Walsh The heart and soul of watchmaking is not just about building beautiful, technically advanced machines that will last for centuries. It is also about giving back to the world that supports you – for causes that need assistance. Audemars Piguet does exactly that. With the sale of each Audemars Piguet watch, a…

A few months ago, after SIHH, we brought the three top world records set for timepieces during that Fair. Now, post-Basel, we bring you the three record-setting watches from this year’s BaselWorld 2014. From ultra thins to ultra shimmer, it was a strong year for world premieres and records. We know you are chomping at…
This was a particularly long trip f or me. It always is. Basel is an eight-day marathon test of endurance of strength and memory. This year, however, I also went a week early to Europe to celebrate the 130th anniversary of Bulgari (we’ll bring you about that here soon). So, two and a half…
By Norman Miller What always strikes me as ironic in Basel is the importance of time. I’ve been coming to Basel since the early ‘80s when it was The Swiss Industry Fair, and many things have changed, among them my ability to move between meetings as quickly as I used to. Seeing 120 brands in…
By Ryan Walsh Breaking the norm at Charlotte Motor Speedway with a little class and a lot less speed than usually seen there, one famous car rolled out onto the track a little over a week ago. If you’re a fan of The King, this story is even better. March 27 was the day…
