Time-keeping in depth ... Zodiac 'Sea Wolf' watches for men and women.

The most exacting requirements of the skindiving and outdoors enthusiast have been built into the Zodiac 'Sea Wolf' watches. Unsurpassed in accuracy and dependability, developed to withstand stresses far beyond that of ordinary timepieces, the Sea Wolf is one of three watches officially approved by the U.S. Navy for use by its frogmen. The self-winding, 17-jewel shock-protected Swiss movement is enclosed in a stainless steel case, water resistant to a depth of 660 feet. Exact second-setting feature, rotating timing bezel calibrated in minutes, and highly luminous hands and markers enhance the Sea Wolf's versatility. Men's Sea Wolf has automatic day-and-date calendar with push button date changer; smaller Ladies' model had automatic calendar; both come with adjustable link stainless bands.

ESTHETICALLY, THERE’S CHARLES JAMES, THERE’S MARIANO FORTUNY, THERE’S MADAME GRES, AND THERE’S ZORAN. DO YOU REMEMBER ZORAN? HENRI BENDEL HAD A RICK OWENS AREA, AND THEY ALSO HAD A ZORAN FLOOR, AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PEAK OF AVANT-GARDE IN THOSE DAYS. I WAS JUST SO PROUD TO BE IN THE SAME STORE THAT SOLD ZORAN.

Geraldine Stutz is THAT GIRL. In the 1960s she re-invented the look of the modern department store at Henri Bendel. With a preternatural sense for trends, she inspired a devoted following of ultra-chic shoppers as well as decades of copycats.
