For the first time in 13 years I don’t care about WWDC. I will certainly check those API announcements out, but I most certainly won’t follow the keynotes in real time.

I really, really, REALLY like the new Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch In Moonshine Gold.

Unfortunately, 34K8 is above my threshold unless we’re talking “Pesetas”.

NEW: We published audio of an Apple VP’s anti-union speech circulated among 58,000 retail workers yesterday. Apple VP Deirdre O’Brien told workers that she was worried about bringing in “an organization” that does not “share our commitment to you.” —Lauren Kaori (@LaurenKGurley)

I see no harm in lobbying your employees not to unionize as long as you stop promoting yourself as a top employer.

I promise I will write about this messed-up launch one day.

I really love traveling. I do. And one thing I’ve been struggling with is to find a good GMT watch to bring on my trips.

Some may say “Oh, just get a Rolex GMT-Master II -if you can afford it- it’ll serve you as a travel watch and also as a dress watch”. And frankly, I disagree.

Maybe, and I say maybe, you could travel to Switzerland and feel relatively safe with a 10K watch on your wrist. But why would I need a GMT watch if I’m in the same time zone as my home country? GMT watches really shine when the time difference is greater than just a few hours. And I wouldn’t feel safe traveling to other continents with a watch that expensive.

The sweet spot for me is a few-hundred euros watch that is almost unknown for the stealers. Even better if it’s already scratched. A GMT watch for travel should be UNAPPEALING unless you’re some kind of monarch living abroad with more security than moral (Pun intended).

Twitter has one of the worst UX I’ve ever seen.

While I am waiting for the Moonswatch re-stock on my “selected Barcelona store” (please, please, please, please, please, please, please… ), I am also cheking around for possible new acquiances. And oh boy, I found one that trully got me.

I am talking about the Panerai Luminor Due 42 that I could get my hands on yesterday.

I have admired Panerai watches since I first knew about them, but its bulkiness made me doubt about fancing one of those. Not anymore. The Luminor Due is way, WAY thinnier than the original Luminor and it wears like a glove.

I had always said that my next luxury watch would be a Seamaster’s Diver 300, but I wouldn’t swear by it anymore.

Dolby Atmos for music. I can’t even think of a single example in witch it won’t come up as terrible. Technology for the sake of technology. Garbage.
