Jeff Goldblum is a man of many talents. Like, pretty much everything. And, for us, one of his key character traits is his ability to wear a dainty gold Cartier Tank as if he doesn't care what the rest of the world thinks. Bravo. The same devil-may-care watch-wearing attitude distinguishes RDJ, Conor McGregor, Serena Williams, and our very own Tim Cahill...

There are watches we wear in our everyday lives and watches we imagine we'd be brave enough to wear in our fantasy lives. There are watches we wear on a budget and watches we would buy if money were no object. This is a story about people who wear those kinds of watches without being self-conscious. With complete and total authority. These people can teach us a lot about owning our wrist choices. So here's how to wear a bosstown, big-boy watch like nobody's watching.

Many of us have admitted to fantasising about wearing a solid gold Cartier Tank. Mr. Goldblum isn't into concepts. He simply lives his life to the fullest while being asked to play himself in fictitious films. It's no surprise that the man is currently experiencing a renaissance. After several scene-stealing performances in Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and The Grand Budapest Hotel, and most recently joining the Marvel universe in Thor: Ragnarok, the king of self-actualised cool is set to appear in no less than five films in 2018, all while holding a weekly residency at the Rockwell club in Los Angeles with his band the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.

Shopping for watches on a budget can be extremely frustrating, not least because watch media outlets such as ours routinely describe watches costing well over $1,000 as "affordable" or "attainable." The truth is that affordability is all relative, and the smaller your budget, the more choices you have. The competition between big-name brands that have delivered value for decades and Kickstarter upstarts offering otherworldly specs for the money has never been fiercer.
