NOTES

Bought this watch because it immediately felt like something I would have designed myself. When Jeremy Scott released the Lightning Flash in 2011, it perfectly captured the kind of fashion and design I was drawn to. It’s bold without feeling excessive, playful without sacrificing good design, and turns an everyday object into something memorable. I wore it often until I eventually lost it, assuming it was gone for good. Years later, my girlfriend at the time—now my wife—tracked down another one and surprised me with it. I don’t wear it nearly as much anymore, but I still think it’s one of the best watch designs I’ve come across. It’s an object that continues to represent my taste just as well as it did the day I first bought it.
