I CAN'T understand KANT either. By the way, have you tried on a vintage ploprof? They are so weird but cool and feel good on the wrist, I kind of want one, might have bought one if they weren't so expensive
Enjoyed the very well written article. As an old philosophy major I appreciate the inclusion of Kant and Hume into this newsletter 🤣, but having been around watches for most of my life, I’ve long since figured out what I like and don’t like. I don’t dwell upon whether my collection is in “good taste” by some preset third party standards because they all reflect my personal preferences and work for me. BTW, Kant didn’t make sense for me either. Painful reading IIRC. Something lost in translation methinks…
and right, i agree, it's best not to worry about what's in 'good taste,' at least as according to some third party, but more like realizing what really reflects you.
💀 when I clicked on the link that took me to Roger Dubuis Excalibur
an easter egg for real ones

Interesting thoughts; some of them pretty close to the 47 rules, but I think it is difficult to draw a clear line.
I read the newsletter on the Substack app and tried several links - none of them worked: Is it only me, Substack app or broken links?
Odd, I can’t seem to replicate in app. Maybe a bug
Thought provoking, fascinating read. Well done. Thank you!
thanks for reading 🙏
thanks for reading 🙏
Loved this
You're a Kant for not including this in the further reading section... but shameless self-promotion is not beneath this cunt: https://www.screwdowncrown.com/p/good-taste-in-watches-bourdieu-philosophy-cultural-capital
Good job ;)
haha! added link in the body above for posterity so it's above the paywall 😅
