Happy Sunday 🍸
Ever heard of the Cartier Crash? This week we take a look at the mysterious history behind the warped watch that now features on the wrists of cultural icons and collectors alike. We’re also revisiting two past favourites: Steve McQueen’s wardrobe essentials, and the Porsche 911 Dakar, a sports car that eats up rocks and spits out nearly 500 horsepower across sandy desert terrains.
Enjoy.
