Tom Ellsworth's Rolex Yacht-Master: The Biz Doc Navigates by Instinct

Tom Ellsworth — entrepreneur, executive, mentor, and the self-styled "Biz Doc" of the Valuetainment orbit — has spent 25 years diagnosing failing companies and scaling ones with potential. The instrument on his wrist is a Rolex Yacht-Master in Rolesium: not the flashiest tool in the box, but the one engineered for people who actually know how to read conditions.

Gordon Ramsay's Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time: The Watch Built for a Chef Who Never Stops Moving

Seventeen Michelin stars accumulated across a career spanning London, Paris, Las Vegas, and beyond. Restaurants on multiple continents. Television productions filming simultaneously in different countries. Gordon Ramsay is never in one time zone for long — which makes his choice of the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time Ref. 5164 in rose gold something more than a luxury statement. It is, for once, genuinely practical.

Norway: Fjords, Nature, and a Handful of Compelling Watchmakers

This is the third instalment of our Horology — Around the World series, following earlier features on Canada and France. Where those countries offer either deep heritage or a burgeoning renaissance, Norway is something different entirely: a scene that barely existed a decade ago, now producing some of the most visually striking microbrands in Scandinavia.

The Norwegian watch landscape is small—perhaps four active brands of note—and none manufactures movements. Every Norwegian-designed watch relies on Swiss or Japanese calibres. What sets these brands apart is not mechanical innovation but design conviction: a shared instinct to embed the textures, colours, and scale of Norway

France's Horological Revolution: The Birthplace of Watchmaking Reclaims Its Legacy

Long before Switzerland became synonymous with fine timepieces, it was Paris that stood at the centre of the horological universe. Today, a new generation of French watchmakers is writing the next chapter — blending centuries of heritage with independent spirit and modern design.

When collectors think of watchmaking capitals, Geneva and the Vallée de Joux come to mind first. But the story of mechanical timekeeping begins not in Switzerland — it begins in France. In the late 1770s, three of the most celebrated watchmakers in history — Ferdinand Berthoud, Jean-Antoine Lépine, and the young Abraham-Louis Breguet — kept workshops within steps of each other on the Place Dauphi

Tiger Woods and the Rolex Deepsea: Why One of Golf’s Greatest Champions Keeps Reaching for Rolex’s Most Extreme Diver

Tiger Woods is one of the defining athletes of the modern era. The 15-time major champion and 82-time PGA Tour winner has built a career on resilience, precision, and relentless competitive focus. Fittingly, the watch most closely associated with him is not a delicate dress piece, but the Rolex Deepsea — a huge, overbuilt, technically uncompromising dive watch with a reputation for surviving conditions few humans ever will.

Tiger Woods has been closely associated with the Rolex Deepsea for years.

Woods became a Rolex Testimonee in 2011, and Rolex’s own profile on him makes it clear that the Deepsea is more than a sponsorship prop. According to Rolex, Woods has worn the Deepsea for many years and sees
