Bold & Loud To Simple & Quiet: 2 Epic New Drops From Roger Dubuis & Timex
When it comes to fashion, people have their own tastes and preferences. Some opt for the bold and loud flashiness that are bound to score some head turns, while others go for minimalist designs that make simplicity its biggest ally. The same is true for watches, and the two we've highlighted here are on opposite ends of the spectrum, but both spectacular in every way. Roger Dubuis x Dr. Woo Excalibur Monotourbillon Episode III Timepiece In the third installment of their joint watchmaking adventure, Roger Dubuis and famed tattoo artist Dr. Woo reunite for the Excalibur Monotourbillon Dr. Woo Episode III. The watch combines Dr. Woo's distinctive single-needle tattoo design with the intricate details of Swiss horology, celebrating a shared dedication to uniqueness and artistic exploration. Using creative cues from time and space, the watch's concept revolves around a 'galactic peace mission.' The 'Tourbillon Galaxy,' which is based on the 31 million light-year-distant Whirlpool Galaxy, or Messier 51a, is at the heart of this story. Its elegant, spiral motion is reminiscent of Roger Dubuis's famous astral form and the workings of the tourbillon complication. The design is further embellished with Dr. Woo's recurrent rocket motif on the sapphire crystal with the words 'We Come in Peace,' a laser-engraved spider at ten, and three ethereal pink gold nebulas at nine. The 42mm case and bracelet, which are made of titanium and 18k pink gold, have a sophisticated yet cutting-edge design. A spiral-shaped element between 10 and 11 represents passage through the 'corridors of time' and evokes the entrance to a black hole. As a visual representation of cosmic depth and spatial distortion, this motif reappears on the caseback as a striking chequerboard spiral on sapphire crystal. Additionally, a message inviting distant lifeforms to engage in a dialogue of discovery is etched on the back. The watch is powered by the Manufacturer's RD515 calibre, which has been specifically redesigned for this release. Its polished stainless steel tourbillon cage has a reduced three-arm upper bridge that displays a galactic spiral detail. With all 193 parts painstakingly hand-finished, the RD515 proudly displays the Poinçon de Genève hallmark and boasts a robust 72-hour power reserve. With a limited quantity of just 28 pieces, the Excalibur Monotourbillon Dr. Woo Episode III is setting itself up to be a coveted timepiece today and into the far future. For enquiries, visit Roger Dubuis' official website. Timex's Q Timex 1975 Enigma The Q Timex 1975 Enigma, a reissue that brings back the brand's original 'mystery dial' concept, is the latest in Timex's celebration of vintage innovation. The new models are housed in a 37mm long, cushion-shaped steel case, continuing the Enigma revival from the previous year. The watch hands, which are available in two colours – black and green – have a tonal hue that nearly perfectly complements the dials. To create a contrast, the hands' tips are partially dipped in white. A playful nod to post-Space Age design ingenuity, the hands appear to be floating freely above the dial due to a matching dot on the underside of the domed acrylic crystal that hides the central post. A quartz movement inside the watch powers the day-date complication at three o'clock. Each item has a strap made of the same fabric, giving it a relaxed, practical vibe. Additionally, the black dial model also comes with a leather strap option. You can purchase the Q Timex 1975 Enigma exclusively at Timex's official webstore for RM1,100.

Lady Gaga Praises Queer Music Pioneer Carl Bean in Docu Clip: ‘Anthems Unify People'
Lady Gaga honors queer music icon Carl Bean and the legacy of his 1977 anthem, 'I Was Born This Way' in an exclusive clip from the upcoming documentary I Was Born This Way. In the film, Gaga, Questlove, and Billy Porter are among those who reflect on the song's powerful impact on the LGBTQ community. 'This song is actually the music equivalent of the Giving Tree,' says Questlove, spinning the track on vinyl. More from Rolling Stone Addison Rae's Pop Queen Dreams Are Massive, and Just Out of Reach Timex's New 'Wednesday' Watch Collab Is Worth a Double Round of Snaps How the Director and Stars of 'Pavements' Brought Many Stephen Malkmuses to Life The clip opens with the chart success the song, released on Motown, had in the United States, climbing to Number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100, and how it became an 'immediate anthem for the gay community,' embraced by house DJs worldwide. Gaga — who titled her sophomore album after her own Bean-influenced LGBTQ-celebrating anthem, 'Born This Way' — reflects on Bean's legacy. 'This was so much more than just a hit song. When that song stopped charting, they didn't stop playing that song in clubs,' she says. 'And the movement didn't stop.' In the clip, Questlove adds that the track was 'beyond a hit' and one that inspired hope and'revolution.' 'It's an anthem,' he says. 'And anthems never die.' 'Anthems unify people. And they help us to celebrate,' adds Gaga. 'It's people coming together to say, 'This is what we believe in. This is what we care about. We are louder. We are stronger. And we can do it together.'' Bean would eventually leave the music industry, founding the Minority AIDS Project to help underserved populations at the height of the AIDS epidemic and eventually, the first LGBTQ+ ministry called the Unity Fellowship Church. I Was Born This Way has been six years in the making and features Questlove, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Billy Porter as exec producers. Daniel Junge and Sam Pollard direct the film which will premiere at the Tribeca Festival on June 5. 'This sequence in the film shows the enduring legacy of Bean's song, and the film demonstrates his lasting influence in so many other surprising ways,' Junge tells Rolling Stone. 'There are so many celebrity bio-docs these days, which I don't disparage — Sam and I have made them — but I think the real joy of documentary is when you are surprised by things you never realized are an important part of our world… hopefully that's what this film does.' 'Not only was his rendition of the song revelatory, but what he did over the decades with his activism for the LGBTQ+ community was both groundbreaking and heartfelt,' Pollard adds. Gaga has long credited Bean — who died in 2021 at age 77 but gave interviews for the film prior to his death — for inspiring Born This Way. Ahead of Pride Month in 2021, she wrote on Twitter: 'Born This Way, my song and album, were inspired by Carl Bean, a gay black religious activist who preached, sung and wrote about being 'Born This Way.' … Thank you for decades of relentless love, bravery, and a reason to sing. So we can all feel joy, because we deserve joy.' { pmcCnx({ settings: { plugins: { pmcAtlasMG: { iabPlcmt: 1, }, pmcCnx: { singleAutoPlay: 'auto' } } }, playerId: "d762a038-c1a2-4e6c-969e-b2f1c9ec6f8a", mediaId: "0eb6519c-7563-415b-88a9-96e46cac48a4", }).render("connatix_player_0eb6519c-7563-415b-88a9-96e46cac48a4_1"); }); Best of Rolling Stone The 50 Greatest Eminem Songs All 274 of Taylor Swift's Songs, Ranked The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time

The Best Rubber-Strap Watches for Summer
In T's column 1 Piece, 10 Budgets, we share 10 perfect versions of an item in a range of prices. Typically lighter and sportier than leather- or steel-bracelet models, rubber-strap watches are an ideal match for the warmer months, especially when they come in vibrant candylike colors. Here are the T fashion assistant Jameson Montgomery's favorites. 1. Swatch, $195 The Swiss brand Swatch has been making relatively affordable, brightly hued watches since the 1980s. This model's vivid green dial is a generous 47 millimeters wide for optimal legibility. 2. Timex, $229 The dial of Timex's Deepwater Reef 200 is embossed with a subtle wave pattern, nodding to the fact that the watch is water-resistant up to 200 meters. 3. Tissot, $595 The displays on Tissot's T-Race Quartz Chronograph were inspired by those found on motorcycles. Its hour and minute hands are coated in SuperLuminova, a phosphorescent, nonradioactive pigment that glows in the dark. 4. Movado, $695 The Bold TR90, by the Swiss American watchmaker Movado, is named after the strong, lightweight nylon compound (TR90) used to make its case. Its matching bright red dial and silicone strap make it an instantly noticeable accent. 5. Hamilton, $895 The Khaki Navy Scuba is water-resistant up to 100 meters and comes with a timer function, making it perfect for lap swimmers and beach runners. 6. TAG Heuer, $2,050 Like many of TAG Heuer's watches, the Formula 1 Chronograph has displays that resemble those on the dashboard of a racecar. It's offered with straps in a few bright shades, but none is as striking as this vibrant green. 7. Rado, $2,600 As its name suggests, the True Square Automatic Skeleton features a skeletonized movement — one that's visible to its wearer through a transparent dial — which is rare for a watch on a rubber strap. 8. Bell & Ross, $5,000 This version of the French company Bell & Ross's BR-05 GMT watch has a sky blue sun ray dial that strikes a playful note along with its grooved rubber strap. 9. Hublot, $6,200 The Swiss watchmaker Hublot uses the highest grade of titanium in its 33-millimeter Classic Fusion. Prized by the aeronautics industry for its lightness and durability, the metal has a natural bluish tone that complements this watch's strap and dial. 10. Hermès, $6,650 Customers of the French fashion house Hermès are easy to spot, thanks to the brand's signature orange shopping bags. This version of the company's H08 watch features the shade on its textured rubber strap and second hand, which pop against the black nickel-treated dial.
