We all remember the bizarre behavior, the Letterman appearance, the weird impromptu rap concert. Not long ago, Joaquin Phoenix went off the deep end… and then jumped the shark. And in what is either a stroke of genius or voyeuristic cruelty, his brother-in-law, Casey Affleck, taped all of it. Now the movie of that episode is out. It chronicles the star’s descent from a successful career as a movie star into a hip hop artist with a wicked beard and hair in need of a wash. Along the way we’re shown what it’s like to lead a life under the spotlight, and it likely contains some explanation for all those crazy antics. We hope it does at least, because we honestly want to know what the F was going through his head.

Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
