Potshots off the camera roll from this past weekend’s @petersenmuseum All Porsche Cruise-In. Not much to do with watches, but every now again the great machine that is the automobile takes front and center on this particular digital stage.

Feature — FACES OF SOCAL VOL. TWO — Andrew Jacobson

“This is my Rolex GMT-Master II 16710 “Coke.”

I’ve worn this watch every day for the last seventeen years. Clearly, I love this watch. It’s more to me than just a watch; it is representative of my approach to life. I’m drawn to timeless design, items made with purpose, and things that are built to last. The quality of construction of this watch, the way it feels on my wrist, and the feeling I get when looking at it excite me in the same way as it did 17 years ago when I first got it.

For me, a classic Rolex sports watch occupies the same category as some of the other most beloved items in my life: a perfect pair of Levi 501 jeans and an air-cooled Porsche 911. I like to say the classics never go out of style. The versatility of this watch is totally insane, too! I wear it to the beach, traveling, while wrenching on a car, but it’s equally at home when peeking out of the sleeve of a nice suit. The insert has developed a nice patina over the years, and my 8-year-old son has reserved this watch for himself one day. Needless to say, it’s a keeper.”

The Volume Two festivities continue post-July 4th, with today’s feature being in honor of @cognacobson. I first met Andrew at a cars-and-coffee-type event, the kind that frequents everyone’s favorite automotive-adjacent coffee shop, @goodboybobcoffee. I was automatically predisposed to like Andrew given his obviously excellent taste in watches, and I think his personal history with his GMT-Master II 16710 — a watch he has owned since 2008 — is the sort of modern provenance all watch enthusiasts strive for. In the near future, I’m aiming for another meetup of the sort where Andrew and I are both rocking our GMTs atop vintage Triumphs... what a charmed existence that would be. Thanks again for sharing your story, Andrew.

LAUNCH - FACES OF SOCAL VOL. TWO

Here we go! Volume Two has finally arrived - nine more great stories about people and their watches.

Articles about people are my favorite thing to create, as I find that these mechanical objects carry the most weight when placed in the context of the human condition. To read someone’s words about why they love their watch is an intimate affair; they’re offering you passage into their mind and insight into what they value. For an established writer — and we do have two of those in this new group, full disclosure — the words might flow like a river with a lucky burst of creative inspiration. For most, however, cleaving memory to parchment is not a daily exercise. It is, therefore, an immense privilege that each participant has elected to share their experience with us.

If you adventured through Volume One with me, or are even a previous featuree, I am ecstatic to have you back for another round of roadside tales. Alternatively, if this series is new to you, I welcome you with open arms. This column was born out of a pair of goals: 1) surf the interminable horizon that is Southern California, and 2) meet awesome people and recount their watch stories along the way. In addition to those stories, you’ll also find a bit about the watch I chose, plus the wheels I used to carve up mileage along the way.

Enough from me. You should head to the site — we have a lot of ground to cover and several new Faces to meet.
