But fans of racing and classic films can still buy a version of the original, prominently seen on the wrist of Steve McQueen in 1971’s Le Mans. With its unique square case and left-hand crown, the automatic chronograph always get noticed. Click here for details.

Screen Chic Film of the Month
Nothing Sacred, 1937
This screwball comedy, written by Ben Hecht and directed by William Wellman, was Carole Lombard’s only Technicolor film — that’s also the reason her hair is more of a reddish-blonde in Nothing Sacred, vs. her typical platinum. As Hazel Flagg, the woman who gains fame due to a mysterious, incurable “illness,” Lombard is the epitome of 1930s style in costumes by Travis Banton.
