As we look back on the biggest trends of 2017, the heritage movement might still be white-hot, but lets not forget that some of the years most interesting watches have been unabashedly modern, with an aesthetic all their own.

Under the cover of night, I pass a heavy bag of dive gear to a waiting hand and then pull myself aboard the Nautilus Under Sea. This 96-foot craft would be my diesel-powered home for the next 16 days, and my ride to one of the most remote island atolls in the world. Im tagging along on the Big Migrations II Expedition to Clipperton Island, [...]
