It was before my time, but the 1960s sound like a jolly good decade. Bursting with colour, drama and international collaboration, it was also a superb time for watchmaking. A soaring demand for casual timepieces ensured steady growth and constant innovation, and we were all blissfully unaware of the looming disaster that was the quartz crisis (thanks for nothing, Generation Me!). This probably explains why Glashütte Original’s 2020 Sixties Edition, complete with a “glacier blue” dial, hits all my sweet spots. Glashütte has released colourful additions to its Sixties collection since 2018, and this wristfriendly 39mm version is another worth coveting.
