Absolutely Everything There Is to Know About Omega Watches |
While there are many significant watchmakers operating in Switzerland, Germany, Japan, and elsewhere, there are just a few whose names are known well beyond enthusiast circles. Omega is one of them. Often compared to Rolex—though the comparison isn't necessarily a just one—Omega produces some of the most notable and historically important models in the industry, from the NASA-approved Speedmaster to the deep-diving Seamaster worn by James Bond. With a vast catalog of references grouped into four model families, its watch offerings can be slightly difficult to parse ... which is why we thought this handy guide might be of some service. |

Martin Scorsese is no stranger to the documentary world. Not only has he found the time to direct a handful himself, but he's featured as a talking head in more documentaries than you could possibly count. Unbelievably, Scorsese had never been the main subject of a documentary film. That is, until director Rebecca Miller wrote him a letter. "At first, I thought, Surely somebody's doing this, it's just that I don't know about it. But when I called Margaret Bodde [the executive director of Scorsese's Film Foundation], she said, 'No, he hasn't said yes to anyone. Let me talk to him,' " Miller tells me. "And then [Scorsese] said, 'Well, let her write a letter.' " |

"Can I hang out with you?" The words echo across the Triangle Square parking garage in Costa Mesa, California, directed at a woman in a chic white pantsuit, early forties, cheeks red and makeup a little smudged. The man who said them follows her as she strides away. She tucks her short blond hair behind her ear and casts anxious glances over her shoulder, pivoting left, then right. Sounds of street traffic drift in; the smell of flowers and nearby restaurants carries on the breeze. The garage is clean, white, and brightly lit as glowing windows from the surrounding buildings sparkle in the darkness of night. The man, however, is disheveled—he's been living out of a van—with shoulder-length blond hair swept back from a receding hairline. "Can I hook up with you?" he says. |

I am no mountaineer. When it comes to imposing, slate-gray structures, I'm more likely to be staring at a skyscraper than at a summit. But by virtue of living in Brooklyn and working in Manhattan—oh, and commuting via the subway—I find myself outside in unpleasant weather with some regularity. And I do escape my urban environs from time to time, shuffling off for a weekend to somewhere that's free from car horns and light pollution. All of which is to say: While I'm not the guy to test something from outdoor outfitter Arc'teryx under the most extreme conditions, I'm pretty well suited to putting a Gore-Tex shell through its paces in a real-life trial that—let's be honest—is likely more applicable to most of our lives than hunkering down in a windswept tent strapped to some perilous peak. Which is why I decided to do just that, wearing the brand's Beta jacket for excursions on days both sunny and rain soaked, pleasantly brisk and bitterly cold. I learned that despite its minimalist construction, it's able to handle just about everything you and Mother Nature can throw at it on a day-to-day basis. And it is definitely worth considering adding to your wardrobe if you haven't yet. |

Long before he began work on the prequel series It: Welcome to Derry, Andy Muschietti remembers trying to pick Stephen King's brain for new insights into Pennywise. That's when the bestselling horror legend revealed a surprising secret. It happened on the set of the sequel, It: Chapter Two, in the summer of 2018. Muschietti had already directed the blockbuster 2016 remake of It, which told the first half of King's 1986 novel about a shapeshifting evil that arises every 27 years to stoke rage and feast on fear. As the filmmaker was wrapping up the second half of the story, he toured King around the riverside Ontario town that was standing in for the picturesque-but-cursed town of Derry, Maine. Muschietti found himself peppering King with increasingly detailed queries about the history, rules, and logic behind the supernatural entity that liked to call itself Pennywise the Dancing Clown. "At one point, I could see that he'd had enough and he said, 'Andy, look …" Muschietti recalls. That's when King dropped a bombshell: He didn't really know himself. The questions that intrigued so many readers about Pennywise were mysterious to his creator too. |
