Beloved Watches: Bugatti Tourbillon, John Lennon's Watch, and Brewing Ancient Beer

2024-06-23 // SuperPodium
A roundup of fascinating stories in the world of watches, including a Bugatti Tourbillon, John Lennon's watch, and the brewing of ancient beer.

In 2024, watch brands have been releasing impressive timepieces one after another. Among the notable releases is the Bugatti Tourbillon, a hypercar-inspired watch with advanced technology and exquisite craftsmanship.

Another captivating story revolves around John Lennon's watch, which had been considered one of the "lost" watches until recently. The watch, a gift from his wife Yoko Ono, went missing in 2005 and the legal battle to determine its rightful owner ensued. The discovery of the watch's caseback engraving adds to its allure and historical significance.

Baltic, a French independent brand known for vintage-inspired watches, is also making waves in the industry. They offer a wide variety of watches assembled in France, appealing to watch enthusiasts looking for unique timepieces.

Moving beyond watches, the Pentax 17 film camera has caught the attention of photography enthusiasts. With a retro design and half-frame format, it combines the charm of film photography with the convenience of modern technology.

As the 4th of July approaches, Yeti's 45 Hard Cooler is the perfect accessory for outdoor activities. With its durability and capacity to hold 54 cans or 37 pounds of ice, it ensures that you'll have cold beverages throughout the day.

In the world of brewing, Dylan McDonnell's unique approach to ancient beer caught the attention of beer lovers and history nerds alike. Inspired by ancient Egyptian brewing techniques, McDonnell recreated a low-alcohol, low-carbonation beer using ingredients mentioned in the Ebers Papyrus, a 1500 B.C. Egyptian medical text.
