Ever dreamt of owning a piece of history? Well now, you have the perfect chance to do so. Several artifacts that belonged to Aisin-Gioro Puyi – i.e. China’s very last emperor – are currently up for auction at the Phillips auction house. One standout? The emperor’s impossibly rare Patek Philippe Ref. 96 Quantieme Lune. Only eight pieces were ever made, and the watch features a triple-calendar function plus moon phase complication. Moreover, of the eight models, only three were created with this piece’s Arabic ‘roulette’ dial. In the past, Ref. 96 models have hit price points between $500,000 and one million dollars – but none have carried a legacy quite as great as this one. Fans can learn more about the treasure here, with a sale to come at a yet undisclosed date.
Today we’re taking a look at a new G-SHOCK, self-leveling tripod and cure-all miracle product. This is Today in Gear.

G-Shock Teases the New Recrystallized Series
CASIOCasio has announced G-SHOCK’s 40th Anniversary watches will launch as the new ‘Recrystallized Series.’ The first G-SHOCK debuted in April 1983. Now, fans will have the chance to shop a trio of new timepieces that pay homage to the very first G-SHOCK. For the first time in the brand’s history, each watch will combine stainless steel recrystallisation and deep-layering technologies to deliver three models equipped with ‘unparalleled toughness’ – and ‘beauty.’ The matte black DW-5040PG-1, shimmery silver GMW-B5000PS-1 and glimmering gold GMW-B5000PG-9 will drop first in Japan with international release dates to follow.
