I was a long-time reader of this site before joining the vintage team here. I remember reading about TAG Heuer dashboard timers in those early years. The great and powerful Eric Wind highlighted a few sets back in 2014, here and here. Immediately, I was drawn to these far more than any other stopwatch or pocket watch that had ever worn my mid-2012 Macbook Pro. Quickly realizing that I didn’t have a car to go to the track, the question became. For most people, are these now only available as desk clocks?
That’s right: In my dream kitchen, there are one or two replica TAG Heuer dashboard timers mounted right in the range. The location is up to you, but the watch can always go right to the pot filler (which is all the rage in kitchen construction these days), integrated into the stove knob dashboard if you’ve selected your Viking mode modifications in mind, or even off to one side of the backsplash. The possibilities are endless, sort of. No matter where you put it, your pasta should always be perfectly al dente and your eggs should be cooked to perfection with this TAG Heuer dashboard stopwatch transformed into a kitchen stopwatch. Does the pot never boil? No worries, just keep an eye on your vintage TAG Heuer stopwatch while the water boils. Meanwhile, you’ll be the coolest house on the block. I’m imagining a “getting with the times” scenario where neighborhood kitchens are fitted with TAG Heuer stopwatches, and that’s the kind of neighborhood I like. 
As for the Patek Philippe Ref. 3587/2 ‘Beta 21’, it’s big, it’s bold, and of course, it’s solid gold. This Beta 21 is just different. One of the reasons I decided to write about this watch this week is that it is so unique and it gives a special satisfaction on the wrist. When I hold this watch in my hand, I can’t help but feel empowered. Then, when I clasp it on my wrist, it’s unlike any other replica Rolex watch I’ve ever worn.
When I saw the Beta 21, the first thing I noticed was the gold bracelet with holes – these are synonymous with that model. Collectors refer to this style of the bracelet as “Swiss cheese” because of the holes, which are very fitting. Patek Philippe made different iterations of the Beta 21, and even a few different variants, such as our reference 3587 here, which features an integrated bracelet and a champagne-colored dial, giving it an all-gold feel that is not to be missed. The Beta 21 movement was created as a piece of collaboration between several different companies and is used in several Rolex replica watches and brands. However, when I hear Beta 21, I think of Patek Philippe, which makes this watch particularly special. Hurry to the store and see it for yourself.
