"The FADER is the definitive voice of music and the lifestyle that surrounds it."
"As hip-hop has grown into the dominant musical force in the English-speaking world over the past half-century, its influence on luxury and style has been undeniable — and watches are no exception. From LL Cool J’s Gruen Gold Nugget in the “I’m Bad” video back in 1987 through to Rihanna’s six-figure Jacob & Co. piece at this year’s Super Bowl, watches have served as a reminder of their wearer’s ascents from harsh conditions to higher places."

"he histories of hip-hop, music videos, and luxury watches are as intertwined as the links on a Pearlmaster bracelet. MTV helped expand hip-hop from a regional curiosity to a global phenomenon, and, as the money came in, rappers began purchasing the symbols of wealth that had been reserved for the upper echelons for decades. Today, it doesn’t matter if you’re a fiercely underground iconoclast or a literal rap billionaire: wearing an artisanal timepiece isn’t just a display of wealth, but can be a way of showing your connection to rap culture."

"Sophisticated, elegant and provocative, Harper's Bazaar is your source for fashion trends straight from the runway, makeup and hair inspiration, chic wedding and travel ideas, plus all of your movie, TV, and pop culture news."
"Part of the reason why mechanical timepieces have failed to capture the imaginations of many individuals is that watch talk can quickly veer into the nerd realm. But the truth is that watches are often quite technical, in a way most fashion accessories are not. It can feel intimidating to venture into the weeds when you start to look at watches as more than something that sits pretty on your wrist. But I promise, peering beneath the surface only makes them more exciting" - Brynn Wallner.
